St Mawes is a lovely village on the Fal estuary well worth a visit with its small shops, local cafes and restaurants and pubs.

Enterprise boats are the largest operator and offer a service around the river Fal where you can hop on and off allowing you to visit multiple places. Why not take your car on the King Harry Ferry connecting St Mawes and the Roseland with Feock, Truro and Falmouth?

Falmouth another town next to the harbour has a typical seaside feel, full of shops, restaurants, and bars it is also home to the Nation Maritime Museum well worth a visit.

Eines der besten Cottages die wir bisher hatten. Sehr sauber, sehr komfortabel und sehr modern. Tolle Küche und mit Klimaanlage. Gut zu wissen, der Car Port ist wirklich sehr eng und mit Dach Box keine Chance was allerdings nicht macht da der öffentliche Car Park nur wenige Schritte entfernt ist.

Absolutely stunning property, will certainly return. The views are breathtaking. We were gutted we couldn't extend our stay. The villages around are so peaceful and perfect location for beach and food spots. Short distance to travel to all other main attractions in Cornwall. The property is high spec and has everything you need. The garden is gated for safety for dogs and the view over the fields is exceptional. Really safe quiet location and felt right at home. A truly beautiful area of Cornwall and excellent find property. There is a handbook all about the build and clear the owners take real pride. The booking is handle by an agent so replies are slightly slower than direct with owners but still good response time and able to answer most questions. A beautiful welcome box was waiting for us when we arrived. Comfortable beds, one is harder than the other so should accommodate all guests well. Overall an amazing experience and excellent stay.
