About Oystercatcher
Oystercatcher is a small adults-only B&B on St Ives Road, giving it a quieter, more grown-up feel than many stays in the town. The rooms are comfortable and en-suite, with drinks provided and free WiFi throughout, and reception is staffed around the clock for whenever guests arrive or need something.
Breakfast is included, setting guests up for a day exploring the beaches, galleries and other attractions that St Ives is known for. There's free on-site parking, useful given the town's narrow streets, and a pub, bar and restaurant can all be found nearby for evening meals.
For those wanting to be more active, the area offers walking and cycling routes, watersports, fishing and a nearby golf course, while entertainment options are close at hand too. It's a straightforward base for a Cornish coastal break, well placed for getting out and about rather than staying in.

What guests say
Paul and Deborah run a wonderful B&B and we feel that we hit the jackpot when we booked in for 3 nights over Easter. There was parking available, we received a warm welcome, the rooms were lovely, the decor so nice and my highlight, Paul’s cooking the breakfast was out of this world. Would highly recommend this jewel of a B&B. Great hosts and fantastic location.

We had a fantastic stay at The Oyster Catcher BnB in June 2025. Paul’s outstanding breakfasts were a highlight every morning. Parking was a real bonus in a perfect location, walking distance to Carbis Bay beach and into St Ives along the coast path. Paul and Deborah’s local knowledge was super, helping us discover great new spots. We were so impressed that we’ve already recommended The Oystercatcher to guests coming to our wedding in Carbis Bay this July. A wonderful place to stay, and we can’t wait to return! Sarah and Chris

Stayed here with my other half (a birthday present from him) and we had a wonderful time! Paul and Deb were amazing hosts - so welcoming, friendly and helpful about local and surrounding areas. The rooms were spotless and cosy and the breakfast was delicious! Only a 30ish minute walk into St Ives with stunning views along the way. We would definitely stay again!
