Top St. Mawes Castle Hotel Reviews

Greenbank Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and restaurants. Breakfast was wonderful. Carpets a little tired in the halls. Otherwise a first class hotel. Highly recommend!"

St Anthony Cottage - a holiday home that sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

8/10 Good

"This is a lovely place great access down to St Mawes. The only criticisms was now welcome pack, we have got used to getting one elsewhere. The bed in the main bedroom was too firm and the downstairs loo needs a little attention."

St Michael's Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Staff very friendly. Food excellent. Great location opposite the beach"

Pennant - an apartment that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

10/10 Excellent

"Perfectly located beautifully comfortable flat, spotlessly clean, great selection of books, hope to return. Sadly the lift wasn't working so don't risk it if you can't manage stairs!"

Chupra - sleeps 8 guests in 4 bedrooms

8/10 Good

"A great property to stay at in St Mawes. Modern, tastefully decorated, well-equipped, comfortable and with outstanding views. The only issue to be aware of is that - whilst the property benefits from a designated parking spot - it is not easy to get bags to and from the property. It has not deterred us from visiting Chupra again, but would be a consideration for anyone with mobility issues."

The Idle Rocks

10/10 Excellent

"Just returned from a three night stay, everything was as great as it could be, helpful friendly people, nothing was too much trouble. Our only criticism is their sister hotel could do with some staff training, service was as good as being at fawlty towers. However idle rocks was perfect !!"

Crows Nest - sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

10/10 Excellent

"Our second visit to Crow's Nest did not disappoint, we were delighted with the accommodation, location and the weather! It was lovely to receive a welcome card from Denise and Alasdair (the owners) with a packet of biscuits and a pint of milk for tea. The booking and instructions for arrival were again very smooth and made personal through Fal Cottages. This is our fifth visit to St Mawes and we will book the Crow's Nest every year from now on - what better recommendation could there be!"

The Rising Sun

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay and the location is perfect. Will definitely be staying again in the future"

The Red House Annexe - a holiday home that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely stay at the Red House Annexe which has lovely views over Summers Beach in St Mawes. The property was clean and well equipped. Ideal for a couple. We would love to return."
