We loved this property for its lovely rooms by the sea, wonderful breakfasts, and outdoor space overlooking the St Mawes harbour. It is centrally located with easy access to shops, restaurants and hiking and water activities. A real gem with friendly and helpful staff.k
Probably one of the best hotels in Cornwall. Super staff and fantastic rooms, with high end fittings and immaculately appointed. Fantastic restaurant and lounger area with roaring fire. Truly exceptional!
