Top St. Mawes Castle Hotel Reviews

St Michael's Resort

8/10 Good

"Pool, sauna and steam room were very good. Make sure to check the exercise classes to avoid the busy times. Breakfast is excellent. A wide range of choices and the staff will take orders for variations to the set hot dishes. Evening meal was very tasty. Our room was a little noisy with early risers but otherwise comfortable."

The Summer House - a cottage that sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

8/10 Good

"Wir verbrachten zu viert eine sehr angenehme Woche im Summer House. Der Platz war ausreichend für vier, besonders schön der Esstisch vor den großen Glasfenstern mit Sicht auf die Bucht. Ein Problem mit dem warmen Wasser wurde umgehend behoben. Ein zweites WC und eine zweite Dusche waren lediglich im Nebengebäude erreichbar. Die Küche war gut ausgestattet. einiger Hausmüll lag die ganze Zeit (in Säcken) am Haus, er war nicht abgeholt worden."

Greenbank Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Always a lovely stay, staff amazing, food fab, nice relaxed atmosphere, will be back soon."

The Falmouth Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely chilled night and a thoughtful upgrade for our anniversary. Would definitely recommend if visiting Falmouth."

Pennant - an apartment that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

10/10 Excellent

"This was our second stay in Pennant. We love the views out across to Place and the headland. The apartment is very well equipped. Really well situated in St Mawes."

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"

Chupra - sleeps 8 guests in 4 bedrooms

10/10 Excellent

"Five of us rented Chupra for a week for a sailing regatta in St Mawes. The house has a wonderful position overlooking the bay and only a few minutes walks to the quay. We didn’t use the car at all. The parking is good but narrow. The interior of the house is upside down - living upstairs so you get the full benefit of the view and position. The furnishings, decor and beds are all new and in good condition. Chupra enhanced our stay in St Mawes and we would hire again if we come to St Mawes again."
