    “Cottage is close to all amenities in St Mawes - just a short walk away.”

    Comfortable beds and living/dining area upstairs offers wonderful views of the harbour and sea - always something going on. Unfortunately the bathing facilities let this cottage down; the main bathroom with hand held shower and en suite shower room to main bedroom did not offer anything like enough power in order to have a decent shower / rinse off soap / wash hair etc. The en suite shower had to be kept on Eco in order to offer consistent warm water (water not hot which at this time of year ...

    Comfortable beds and living/dining area upstairs offers wonderful views of the harbour and sea - always something going on. Unfortunately the bathing facilities let this cottage down; the main bathroom with hand held shower and en suite shower room to main bedroom did not offer anything like enough power in order to have a decent shower / rinse off soap / wash hair etc. The en suite shower had to be kept on Eco in order to offer consistent warm water (water not hot which at this time of year was inadequate). On High the water was intermittently scalding hot or cold. The main bathroom would benefit from a shower screen or shower curtain in order to be able to shower properly - again, no power to the shower. We have stayed in Pier cottage previously and hoped improvements to the bathrooms had been made, unfortunately not. Shame as other improvements are great and the cottage has everything needed for a great week away in a fabulous place - St Mawes. Above being said, we enjoyed our week but are unlikely to book again unless the bathing facilities are improved. Presumably this us why the cottage is 3 stars?

The property

In St Mawes, just a few yards from the beach, an ‘upside down’ terraced cottage with gorgeous sea views.

Behind the cottage, a lovely little terraced patio garden (table/chairs) with flowers, perfect for alfresco meals or just relaxing with a good book.

Upstairs, living/dining room with pebble-effect ‘living flame’ fire, TV/DVD and uninterrupted views of the bay as if looking from the bow of a ship.

Kitchen (slimline dishwasher, washer/dryer, tumble drier, microwave, fridge-freezer, electric cooker).

Downstairs, two bedrooms - a double (5' bed) with en suite shower-room (suite), TV and doors opening to the patio, and a room with two singles; bathroom (suite plus hand-shower).

Parking outside in winter and on summer nights; public car park (extra), a few yards away.

A gem of a cottage in a lovely place for exploring rock pools and bathing, or simply soaking up the scenery. St Mawes: beautiful village (shops, pubs, restaurants, galleries) with harbour, two beaches and Henry VIII castle, at the end of the lovely Roseland Peninsula, looking across to St Anthony Head (summer pedestrian ferry), and to Falmouth and the Helford River.

Pedestrian ferry to Falmouth and cruises on Carrick Roads.

Sailing school; canoeing; fishing trips; regattas.

St Just in Roseland, 2 miles.

About the location

ST MAWES

Falmouth 16 miles via car ferry, 3 miles via passenger ferry; Truro 10.5 miles via car ferry, 18 miles by road.

St Mawes is a small fishing village situated on the Roseland Peninsula, part of Cornwall’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is surrounded by rocky coves, sandy beaches and lush countryside and has a notable historic castle guarding the entrance to the River Fal. The village is a haven for boating and yachting with many events and functions taking place and of course the local produce is outstanding, with local pubs and restaurants serving delicious seafood dishes throughout the year. Nearby there are plenty of activities to keep the whole family busy including walks, watersports and boat trips. Across from the harbour is the town of Falmouth, with its magnificent natural harbour (the third largest in the world), winding streets and beaches, the amenities will keep you occupied for hours. The town's old harbour-side pubs, excellent shopping, art gallery and stunning National Maritime Museum simply complete the picture. Pendennis Castle, built by Henry VIII, is Falmouth's most popular attraction, sited on its own peninsula with superb panoramic sea views.
