Enjoying superb views of the wild Atlantic and the serenity of the Vale of Lanherne, Blue Bay Guest House offers the visitor the very best Cornwall has to offer.

Located halfway up the hill from Mawgan Porth beach means unrivalled coastal or country walks begin at the doorstep. With Padstow only a fifteen minute drive to the north, Newquay with its nightlife a fifteen minute drive to the south and the moors surrounding Bodmin to the east, the Hotel is ideally situated at the centre of any Cornish experience.

Small family run guest houses are a dying breed in Cornwall, but with three generations of genuine hospitality in the family, James and Pippa are determined not to let the corporates take over. You'll still be greeted with warm smiles, a whistling kettle and Patty-dog wagging her tail with glee at your arrival.

Dogs - Dogs are still very welcome at the guest house and the lodges and Mawgan Porth remains one of the few dog-friendly beaches on the north coast.

The Food - James won't let his well known standards slip and there is a new menu celebrating fresh local and organic products, a wine list to complement your evening meal as well as fantastic value for money. The restaurant is now open to the public. We think you'll not find a better three-course meal in the vicinity and are proud to out-cook our competitors and we have been rewarded for our efforts with an RAC fine dining award grade 1.

The Location - It may be obvious, but we retain our beautiful position overlooking the golden sands, turquoise seas and scarlet sunsets of Mawgan Porth, up where the gulls glide and rooks tumble. The lodges, hotel lounge, restaurant and most of the rooms continue to enjoy the wonderful panorama of the north Cornwall coastline.

It is our heartfelt intention that your stay with us will be one you'll want to re-live year after year and that you'll become a part of the Blue Bay's extended family.

There are many diverse and exciting places to visit from the tiny bustling fishing villages to the magnificent hi-tech Eden Project. There are secret valleys with Japanese gardens, beautiful churches, excellent shopping, wonderful beaches and hidden coves.

Cornwall has something to offer everyone. From the traditional family beach holiday to the discerning art lover and walker. Springtime and autumn bring with them a whole different aspect of Cornwall - the hedgerows ablaze with colourful flowers and quieter times.
