Exceptional Service

Our award-winning Guest Services team will not only help you find your dream holiday but will support you through every step of your stay.

From the moment you step through the doorway, there’s a sense of calm and timelessness, a feeling that you’ve arrived somewhere truly special.

The main living room is an inviting space centred around a decorative, original stone fireplace. Its deep sofas offer the perfect place to read a book, share conversation, or simply gaze out at the glistening blue of the water just beyond. Every detail, from the beams to the coastal-inspired décor, feels thoughtfully chosen to enhance the location.

A second sitting room provides a more relaxing retreat, ideal for film nights. Its laid-back ambience, complete with plush seating, sofa bed and soft lighting, creates an effortlessly cosy escape.

The kitchen, light and contemporary yet full of character, invites you to cook and socialise. With its high-end appliances, generous worktops and delightful Cornish crockery, it’s perfect for preparing long, leisurely breakfasts or fresh seafood suppers after a day exploring the coast. Leading directly to both the dining area and the garden, it flows naturally for sociable living.

Upstairs, three beautifully appointed bedrooms await, each styled with coastal calm in mind. White linens and soft blue accents create a tranquil atmosphere, while the windows frame enchanting sea and village views. There is a king-size bedroom, a double bedroom and a twin bedroom, all of which have access to two hallway bathrooms, one featuring a bath and one featuring a shower.

Outside, the enclosed garden offers another layer of relaxation. It’s a sun-dappled haven scented with salt air and flowers, the ideal setting for al-fresco dining.

Location of 'Mariner’s Cottage

Location

The neighbourhood

The cottage enjoys a prized position in the heart of St Mawes, one of Cornwall’s most sought-after harbour villages. Sheltered on the Fal Estuary, it enjoys a warmer, softer climate than much of the Cornish coast, making it a year-round sanctuary. The village’s narrow streets wind between flower-adorned cottages, leading to a bustling waterfront where fishing boats and ferries glide across sparkling waters. St Mawes Castle, a beautifully preserved Tudor fortress, stands watch over the bay, offering panoramic views towards Falmouth.

Days here unfold at an unhurried pace. Begin with a walk to the beach or a swim in the calm shallows, then linger over fresh crab rolls at a waterfront café. St Mawes’ dining scene blends rustic charm with sophistication, from cosy pubs to fine restaurants serving the day’s catch. Boutiques and galleries invite a gentle afternoon of browsing.
