Guests say
The Pickle Pot in Mawgan Porth is highly praised for its stunning coastal views, excellent beach access, and peaceful setting. Guests consistently mention the warm and welcoming host, Roger, and appreciate the well-equipped, clean, and comfortable accommodation. The property is an ideal base for exploring North Cornwall and is dog-friendly. While most reviews are very positive, a few guests note that the interior is a little dated and the bedroom is compact. Overall, visitors thoroughly enjoy their stays and often express a desire to return.
Most guests found the property spotlessly clean and well-maintained, with only one review mentioning a concern about a dirty sofa. The overall impression is of a tidy and well-kept cottage.
The location is frequently described as stunning, with spectacular sea views, direct beach access, and proximity to local amenities and attractions. The only minor drawback mentioned is the steep walk to and from the beach.
Guests generally found the accommodation cosy, quiet, and comfortable, with positive comments about the beds and sofas. A few noted the bedroom is small and can get hot, but this did not detract significantly from their stay.
The cottage is well-equipped with essentials such as a dishwasher, washing machine, and kitchen utensils. Some guests felt the kitchen was a little dated or lacked some utensils, but most found everything they needed for a pleasant stay.
Roger is repeatedly described as a welcoming and attentive host. Some guests mentioned thoughtful touches such as dog treats, but please note that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

We enjoyed our stay at The Pickle Pot very much. The location is stunning and overall it was comfortable. The bed and sofa were comfy, but the interior of the cottage is looking a little dated now and the bedroom area is very small and very hot if the door is closed. It made a great base for exploring the local area and the views from the coastal path( which is easily accessed from the property) are truly amazing. You can walk to the Bedruthan steps in about 25 mins.
