We upgraded to what should have been a superior sea-view. 😬 A sea-view we did get room 208 but it most certainly wasn’t a superior. The room had a funny smell likened to a wet babies nappy. We pulled out the bed to see if there was anything behind as that’s where the smell seemed to be coming from but we didn’t find anything so just put it down to a smelly room. Lucky for me I had some spray which helped mask the smell. The carpet in the room needed a good clean. The hotel is just a little grubby in areas which is a shame as that’s down the cleanliness. The breakfast was ok although it was just warm. The location is perfect though and it didn’t cost the earth to stay there so that’s a bonus.

Disappointed with the room as no choice was given
Enjoyable one night stay at this dog friendly hotel. My only downside was that we were put in a room at the back of the hotel. I would have asked for a sea view room but on the booking form there was nowhere to put any preferences.

Good value and friendly service
Lovely hotel in a great location. Lovely welcome and the staff were very helpful with any questions we had. Very good value for money. Loved the coffee shop underneath the hotel for a morning coffee and pastry! Would definitely come and stay again - St Mawes is a lovely location.

The place was clean and quiet. Bedrooms were neat and clean. We did not have time to view the surrounding areas to the building. I would suggest inclusion of small fridges in rooms as a long/medium term plan.
