  • "The property was a good base to explore the lizard as we have been here a few times."

    The property was clean but not as comfortable as others we have stayed in. The bathroom had a few problems. The toilet pipes leaked spilling over onto the floor which was not pleasant especially in the earlier hours if the toilet was used as you got wet feet. Not great at 2am in the morning. There was a tin paint kettle at the back of the toilet so the owner new this already. The shower water took a long time to go down. This would bring the remains back up onto the shower floor. This was unpleasant as we had to constantly clean this. There were no wardrobes just a bookcase shelf and two bedside cabinets. The road is quite dangerous as you have to back in to the property on a bend. If the traffic is moving fast this could be a big problem. Lovely friendly dog and the owner was pleasant. All in all it was a good holiday.

    Although the owners live next door, we didn’t feel like we were being watched. They were very helpful and informative when we needed them. The drive is on a corner, so you need to be a bit careful reversing in and driving out. Apart from that we Hope to stay again soon and do some more coast path hiking!

  • "Dean and his family are amazing friendly people great hosts for sure."

    The good: it's in a great quiet location which is always a bonus. The wood burner is very nice especially on a cold night. The internet is super fast and TV is great including netflix etc. the pool table was enjoyed by me every day. Nice kitchen including everything you need. The bad: unfortunately there where some stuff we didn't like the bed is very small for two people and is to soft for me and my wife we suffered from bad backs because of this. The shower was very nice but overflows all the time whilst dean did kindly explain to us why this happens it still made us feel like we had to rush and not enjoy the shower. The sofa was to low so no neck support. The parking is a little awkward because it's on a main road leading into mullion you have to reverse park and because the owner owns a car to your only left with a small space to park into. Even though we had some negative points to make all round we really did enjoy our stay thank you to Dean and his family for being great hosts

  • "The Blue Oyster is a very comfortable spacious property for two people situated on the outskirts of Mullion on the Lizard in Cornwall."

    It has excellent facilities and a pool table! It has electric panel heaters which I found more than adequate in January! There is also a log burning fire should you wish to be warm and cosy. Mullion is ideally situated for exploring the Lizard. Mullion village boasts two good pubs, two supermarkets, great fish and chip shop with restaurant. There are two beautiful hotels on the coast within walking distance and the coastline is both beautiful and dramatic. The owner Dean is very friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. This was my second stay in the Blue Oyster and I look forward to returning in the future. Highly recommended.

  • "We had a great stay, despite it being December the weather was actually very kind to us in terms of temperature compared to the rest of the UK!"

    Blue Oyster was easy to find with good parking outside and as Dean said; if you reverse into the space it works well. The bed was very comfortable and we both slept well despite it not being kingsize that were used to. The shower was excellent. The cottage became very snug once at temperature. The heating was easy to control as you could set the thermostats for daytime and nighttime-similarly for the bedroom. Also the wood burner was an extra luxury which we enjoyed in the evenings. Useful having the Co-op in Mullion. We had a lovely Sunday roast at the Old Inn. Well located to explore and plenty of walks in the Lizard, Helston and Marazion areas. Even the Lost Gardens of Heligan were a delight. I can’t think of a negative about our stay- we would thoroughly recommend!

    Convenient to all the beaches on the Lizard. Village shop 10 minutes walk. Poldhu beach about half hour walk - but go along the coast path from mullion to Poldhu as road very busy and narrow. Great beach cafe at Poldhu. As ever, Kynace Cove was amazing, though you have to be careful of the strong currents there and the beach cafe again excellent. Went to Wavecrest Cafe at Lizard point and had great fish n chips/Pizza and watched storm. Listened to the foghorns. Beautiful. Jumanjy Thai resturant very good my Mossiman curry was delicious and good size portions, price reasonable. Did coast path from Lizard point to Mullion then onto Gunwalloe cove and very good views. Great cream tea in Mullion harbour too, recovering from the walk. Our host was very pleasent and accommodating and even dropped us at Lizard point pre walk to save us having to go back. Thank you

  • "Really great place."

    Super clean (I get super stressed about holiday homes being clean even bringing my own bedding just in case and this was perfect!) Everything is lovely quality, house gets super warm really quickly even without wood burner on. Owners Dean and his family were really helpful and made us feel very welcome Were around when needed but you didn’t feel on top of each other at all! My husband especially loved the two friendly dogs aswell! Would def recommend and would love to come back! Thanks

  • "Lovely immaculate cottage - we stayed in November and really enjoyed the log burner in the evening."

    Mullion is a pretty village with some great coastal walks, can make day trips to most places within an hour - we went to Falmouth and St Ives. Parking at the cottage slightly tricky due to being right on bendy road - maybe a mirror could be put up to help with this to see what's coming. We really enjoyed our stay.

    Blue Oyster was exactly what we required in terms of accommodation and parking and was ideally situated for our week's visits to Porthcurno, Sennen Cove, Coverack, St. Austell, Truro, St. Ives etc. Much better than the previous two years' properties which we had tried following the non-availability of our long-term base in Coverack.

    Really warm and cosy and spotlessly clean. The owner Dean was really helpful and has two delightful collie dogs who just love to play.We have just returned home and had a great time even though the weather was against us. The log burner made it super cosy after getting cold and wet walking the coastal path. Perfect location, great for walking out from, and local bus stops outside too, Thankyou for a lovely stay. Hope to come again. Would highly recommend.

    Dean the owner made us feel most welcome and although we were left alone to get on with things he was always available should we of needed anything. The accomodation was spacious & comfortable and was an excellent bolt hole for our trips out to explore the South West of Cornwall. The owners two friendly boarder collies made the stay somewhat more entertaining due to their daily antics. Highly recommend a stay at Blue Oyster. Ann & Adrian Hampshire

    Will be going back ' We had a fantastic break in the Blue Oyster Cottage. It was perfectly equipped for the two of us and a great location just a short walk into Mullion. The log burner was particularly helpful especially when the weather was against us, the cottage was a cosy escape. It was central to many attractions on the lizard, we ventured around the coves and villages and found it was a perfect base for our holiday. The couple who owned the cottage were very welcoming and helpful whilst allowing us to enjoy our holiday. We would definitely look at going back and staying at Blue Oyster again and look forward to doing so

    It is beautifully decorated and furnished and spotlessly clean.There are a couple of things I wish I had been aware of before booking. Even though the property is of a good size the bedroom is too small to accommodate a Wardrobe. The water tank does not hold enough hot water for 2 consecutive showers a wait of 20 minutes between each is needed to ensure enough hot water. The property is on a busy road but once inside you are not aware of the traffic. The owner welcomed us on arrival and we quckly settled in and had a lovely holiday.

Parking directly outside the cottage the moment you enter you will be taken by the welcoming spacious feel of the open plan living area with kitchen, sitting area and dining area.

A fascinating collection of cult photographs, many signed and collected by the owner over 35 years adorn the walls and make most interesting viewing whilst enjoying a game of pool.
