Cottages in St Mawes

Giving all its power to the coast you will see St Mawes, right in the county of Cornwall, located in the west of the South West peninsula, close to the Bristol Channel and the Channel. It has gained popularity for tourists due to its beautiful views, amazing galleries, valuable shops and outstanding restaurants. Holidu, in view of staying in the best locations in town, has cottages in areas close to the most prominent tourist attractions, including many of them just a few steps from the sea. What are you waiting for?

One of the greatest qualities of the cottages Holidu offers you in St Mawes is that most of them have a sea view or are just metres away from the sea. All of these St Mawes cottage options have the most basic amenities, from Wi-Fi and parking spaces to fireplaces and washing machines with dryers - many of these cottages do not accept dogs so check before booking in case you are travelling with your four-legged companion! You will usually find many of these cottages, for large families or large groups of friends, although if you look a little harder you can find good alternatives for you and your partner if you're travelling as a couple or just on your own.

St Mawes is a completely coastal area, and even the vast majority of the cottages offered by Holidu are only a few steps away from the shore, so there's plenty to do in the sea. One of the beaches you can visit is Summers Beach, the sand is clear but not abundant, as is the water: it's crystal clear and cold, usually with not many people present, which is why it has become one of the favourite beach destinations in St Mawes for families. Another attraction is the St Mawes Ferry. This ferry moves from Falmouth to St Mawes, and when the weather is nice and sunny, they can open the outside area where you can have a look at the sea facing houses and other historical monuments, you must get on this ferry! On the other hand, if you're looking for a peaceful place to take a walk while your feet soak in the sea water, then Tavern Beach is the place for you, plus you'll be taking in some stunning views, we recommend you take your camera with you!

To refer to the historical monuments of St Mawes, we must mention, before any others, St Mawes Castle and the St. Anthony Lighthouse. St Mawes Castle was built as a form of protection from invaders from the early 16th century, and tours of this monument are sometimes given, so you can find out the most curious facts about it. St Anthony Lighthouse was built in 1834 and marks the entrance to Carrick Roads and is a guide for ships entering this part of England. But wait a minute! If you visit the Roseland Visitor Centre you might see several brochures detailing places of interest and historical monuments you can visit in the city, plus the staff are friendly and open to recommendations. With good organisation, you could start by visiting St Mawes Church, after the castle and lighthouse, this piece of architecture is ancient with great appeal in its internal windows and the view from the doors, but we do recommend: be prepared for a steep climb when visiting this church, it can be exhausting, but it's worth it!

One of the most peaceful places in St Mawes is the Lamorran House Garden, it's recommended for visitors who want to get away from the large groups of people and visit this lovely garden and enjoy a quiet time strolling along. The views are incredible, as well as the plants that live there, and the best part: there is a tea room where you can sip your favourite cuppa and treat yourself to a little sweet pie or pastry.

We know that St Mawes has many interesting beaches, but Watergate Bay Beach is different, here you can have the best waves for surfing. In addition, there is a restaurant in front of the sea that is one of the most famous in the area, you can try some special dishes to complete your experience in this English territory! Have some Cornish pasties, an afternoon tea, or the classical and delicious fish and chips! Have a sweet tooth? Try the best carrot cake, apple crumble or a yummy wobbly trifle.

At the St Mawes Recreation Ground you can spend a different moment with your family, there are several ramps for skateboarding that will make the experience in St Mawes more than just visits to the museum and the beach. An outdoor moment on wheels is sometimes necessary.

If you want to sample some good freshly baked bread in the morning, then you should head to St Mawes Bakery. Good bread, pies, and it's even said to have the best pasty. Plus, their facilities are built so you can sit in the sun and watch the boats come and go, a great way to spend your morning.

Porthcurnick Beach might appeal to you if you're a scenery hunter, it's a beach area with more of a wilderness feel, but still has lifeguards and all the ideal structure for families to enjoy their days at the beach. The water and the clear sand are spectacular, so make sure you take plenty of pictures, they'll be worth it!

Eating some good Fish and Chips is a must on your trip, and at The Watch House you can do it; the quality of the food is incredible and the staff is very attentive and friendly. Remember to try the seafood dishes, you're sure to love them.

If you want to celebrate a party, a special event and get away from the activities you've been doing in St Mawes, then you should visit The Thirstea Co, this is a venue that works serving food and coffee with an attention from the staff that will leave you wanting to go again. We like to relax, but sometimes fun, good food and music are necessary for the soul. Agree?
