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.

Stepping inside, the immediate focus is the view. Large windows and thoughtfully positioned living spaces maximise the sweeping outlook across the water, filling the home with natural light and creating a strong connection to the surrounding landscape. Contemporary interiors are softened by warm textures and calming coastal tones, creating a welcoming atmosphere throughout.

The first-floor kitchen and dining area forms the social heart of the home. Bi-fold doors open directly onto a sun-soaked balcony, creating a seamless indoor–outdoor flow for long lunches and relaxed evenings. A large kitchen island, bar seating, integrated ovens, microwave, coffee machine and dishwasher provide everything needed for effortless entertaining, while the generous dining area comfortably brings everyone together.

The adjoining living area is positioned to fully embrace the spectacular views across St Mawes and the estuary beyond. A wood burner creates warmth and atmosphere during cooler months, while a Sonos sound system and glass-fronted balcony make the space equally suited to summer evenings spent watching the sunset over the water.

Five beautifully appointed bedrooms accommodate up to twelve guests, with two enjoying private en-suite bathrooms and the remaining rooms sharing a spacious family bathroom. Every bedroom enjoys either water or garden views, creating a restful and calming environment throughout the house.

Outside, the property continues to impress. South-facing landscaped gardens provide multiple areas for relaxing, dining and entertaining, while the outdoor patio and barbecue area are perfect for long summer evenings with family and friends. A private hot tub offers a luxurious place to unwind, where guests can soak beneath open skies and enjoy the ever-changing coastal scenery as the pace of everyday life gently fades away. A sauna further enhances the sense of relaxation, creating a retreat-like atmosphere throughout the stay.

Location of 'The Roseland Retreat

Location

The neighbourhood

Located on Cornwall’s beautiful Roseland Peninsula, within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this setting offers some of the most captivating coastal scenery in the South West. Surrounded by sheltered coves, rolling countryside and dramatic shoreline, the peninsula feels wonderfully peaceful and unspoilt, making it a favourite destination for those seeking both relaxation and adventure.

A short stroll brings you into the heart of St Mawes, one of Cornwall’s most picturesque harbour villages. Here you’ll find waterside cafés, bakeries, boutique shops and acclaimed restaurants, alongside traditional pubs overlooking the harbour. The historic St Mawes Castle stands proudly above the shoreline, offering panoramic views across the Fal Estuary and a fascinating glimpse into the region’s maritime history.
