Idle Rocks Hotel
St Mawes, Cornwall
Idle Rocks Hotel is a hotel located in St Mawes.
St Mawes is located on the southern coast of Cornwall, the UK's mildest county, where daffodils begin to bloom in January. A quaint fishing village, St Mawes sits on the tip of the Roseland Peninsula, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that remains largely unspoilt by commercial influence. A local landmark is St Mawes Castle, one of two "sentinels" that served as guardians of the Carrick Roads waterway back in the days of Henry VIII, the other being Pendennis Castle in Falmouth. From here the views are magnificent and coastal walking is hugely enjoyable - a camera really is a necessity here.
The Idle Rocks Hotel sits on the edge of St Mawes' harbour wall - it isn't possible to get any closer to the water unless you are on it!
The view from the hotel is the Cornish dream brought to life: a small, idyllic harbour, narrow lanes of tidy fisherman's cottages, green fields that slope down to the sea and lovely sandy beaches. The Idle Rocks is a luxury hotel in Cornwall with a long standing reputation for good food. The hotel's Water's Edge restaurant, with its magnificent water views, has held 2 AA Rosettes for more than 15 years. The range of activities and days out that can be enjoyed is varied though it is perfectly acceptable - de riguer with many - to simply do nothing but relax and be happy in the beauty that surrounds you.
Nearby restaurants include Old Watch House, Chalmers & Short, Restaurant At The Idle Rocks Hotel, and Restaurant At The Rising Sun.
