We had a fabulous stay at Whitestones over the May half term week. The layout of the house suited our group of 4 adults and 4 children really well. There were a lot of bath / shower rooms and toilets so there was never a wait. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen / dining area in the open plan upstairs was very spacious. The children took over the living room and made themselves very comfortable there. The dining table was perfect for the adults to relax at. Lovely views over the trees and houses. A short walk down the steep hill to get to St Mawes harbour and shops/cafes/pubs, etc. We didn't even use the car for the first few days! We would love to stay here again.
