The room is clean and well arranged. They pay attention to details. The bed is comfy. The breakfast is delicious and freshly prepared especially the cornish breakfast and the waffles. Paul & Deborah are amazing hosts.

Only the obvious really: that we couldn't have stayed longer. Still, next time.

Isn't it amazing how some people get it all just right! We thoroughly concur with all the other positive reviews. My wife and I enjoyed an excellent weekend for our wedding anniversary, chose the sea view room (a good move) and felt very happy and relaxed with Deborah, Paul and Cleo's warmth and hospitality. A lovely, well maintained house in an ideal area, a great breakfast, lovely bed linen and good conversations. Nothing pretentious, no airs and graces, just clean and homely B&B as it should be. We won't bother looking for anywhere else for our next visit. Oh, and thank you so much for the thoughtful touches on our anniversary :-)

The overall stay was brilliant. Lovely hosts, clean room, delicious breakfast, great recommendations for things to do in the area. Debby & Paul are super nice, friendly hosts and well done to their daughter with serving the breakfast! x Great value for money overall. Can only recommend them.

The best stay we have had in the UK. Paul and deb were so friendly,kind warming and welcoming. Outstanding property and the cleanliness. Breakfast and option were very good. To hard to choose would recommend the eggs benedict and the French toast. Very helpful with places to see and things to do. Thank you so much we will definitely be back to see you all.

Nothing. (As an aside, I would have opted for a ground floor room because of my age and resulting difficulty with stairs - but my hosts were not aware of this nor was it mentioned during the booking process. Paul kindly carried my heavy case up to the room and again to my car on departure).

The best B&B I've stayed in. Warm welcome from Paul, Deborah and Cleo. Very friendly and helpful hosts. I appreciated the complimentary upgrade from a room overlooking the rear garden to one with a sea view. The room and ensuit bathroom were very well appointed. In addition to tea making facilities, the provision of Cornish biscuits and an elderflower drink was a nice touch. Very comfortable bed (great pillows!).

A delight and pleasure to stay at the Oystercatcher, comfortable and very friendly and helpful hosts.

Will echo what other visitors said. It's a very nice boutique B&B with lovely hosts. The location is great. Carbis Bay is close enough to St Ives to be walkable (or there is an easy bus), and the beaches are within easy range. But unlike being in the centre of St Ives, you get a lot more for your money and you can park your car. Definitely recommended.

Only had two nights. Will stay 1 week next time.

Great location, friendly, sea view and great breakfast

Deb and Paul, and little Cloe were 10 out of 10 . They took care of us while we were there ,breakfast was delicious, their service is 100% ,we had no issues and nothing to complain about, and everything was superb and exceeded our expectations. The room was very comfortable. The bed was comfy as well, especially as I'm very fussy about sleeping somewhere else than my bed .the whole house is very clean and well taken care of and makes you feel very welcome and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and well made by deb and paul as per photos I jad attached ,we learnt a lot from them as well about the local area as well as about life in general, they are people with high knowledge from which i had learnt new things as well xx. If the universe will make our paths going in st ives, we will definitely book them again because people like them are very rare to find, and we were so lucky to find them . We wish them the best and hope that someday we will meet again .💜

Oystercatcher is an excellent B&B, we had a wonderful stay across the 4 nights we were there. Paul and Deborah are so lovely, are excellent hosts and provided us plenty of insights on places to go and visit - all of which added to our awesome experience. Breakfast was superb. Overall it was an amazing stay, thank you :-)

Attention to detail, a comfortable and well-appointed room and ensuite, a wealth of local knowledge, amazing breakfast - the French toast is to die for! A great base for a week away.

It is a distance from St Ives and there are lots of steep hills. Not advisable if you are not fit!

Lovely clean property, stylishly decorated. Hosts Deborah and Paul were very knowledgeable about the local area and gave great tips on where to park etc. Breakfast was excellent and there was so much choice. Would definitely stay here again.

amazing owners, beautiful room and fantastic breakfast! everything was beyond expectations and had a great stay there! highly recommended! I was little bit worried about location but nothing worried about after all! bus stops are few min by foot, just 5-10min from St Ives center by cab.

Everything!! Paul, Deborah and Cleo were so friendly. The room was perfect, clean and comfortable. The breakfast selection was excellent and delicious, Paul's homemade compotes are a must try. The location was excellent being minutes walk away from Carbis Bay and then a beautiful scenic walk to St Ives is also something we loved. If we ever return to Cornwall this is where we will be trying to stay. Perfect 3 days couldn't have wished for more.

Couldn’t fault Deb, Paul or Cleo! a beautiful house, incredible room with a gorgeous view and breakfast was amazing. Already planning our next stay, it really made our trip. Thank you!

Nothing. Was all very good.

We had a lovely stay here. Paul and Deborah were wonderful hosts. Breakfasts were delicious, cleanliness 10/10. Friendly, knowledgeable, helpful. Would definitely stay here again. Is a great place to be as the bus stops are along the road and the train 5 minute walk down the hill.

Everything was perfect.

We had such a lovely stay in Oystercatcher B&B. The breakfast was exceptional, great presentation and delicious taste. Location is perfect, close to St Ives. House was very clean and organized. Paul and Deborah made us feel very welcomed and gave us several tips on restaurants and things to do around the area. I would recommend 1000%. If you like boardgames, try playing The Great St Ives Pasty Dash game. It is a lot of fun and you can learn a lot of information about St Ives. We wish we could have stayed longer.
