St Mawes Holiday Cottages – Stay in Cornwall’s Elegant Seaside Village

Why Choose St Mawes for Your Cornwall Holiday?

Waterside Beauty and Gentle Living

St Mawes is a classic Cornish harbour town – peaceful, scenic and full of charm. Watch boats bob in the water, stroll along the promenade or dine in seafood restaurants with views across the estuary.

Great for Walking and Boating

The town is a gateway to excellent walking and sailing. Set off on the South West Coast Path, explore hidden beaches, or take the foot ferry to Falmouth and explore both sides of the Fal Estuary.
