About this property

This charming beach hotel is located in the heart of the village of St. Mawes, itself situated on the tip of the Roseland Peninsula, facing the port of Falmouth. 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 is situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that remains largely unspoilt by commercial influence. Guests will find restaurants, the beach and a tourist centre in St. Mawes, while Truro with its shops and attractions is about a 30-minute drive away. Plymouth Airport is roughly 128 km from the hotel, whereas Exeter Airport is some 167 km away and Bristol Airport about 268 km from the hotel. The hotel offers luxury accommodation with a long standing reputation for good food. For much of the year guests can enjoy the outdoors and harbour activity from a front row position on the hotel's spacious waterside terrace. During the few colder months Cornwall experiences, guests can seek the comforts of the lounge with its real log fire. In addition to the 27 guest rooms, the hotel also features a lobby with a hotel safe, as well as a restaurant, Internet access and room service. Limited car parking is also available on site(chargeable). Each of the bedrooms has been individually furnished with an emphasis on comfort and style. As standard, all rooms have remote control TV, a hospitality tray, hairdryer, clock/radio, direct dial telephone and a PC modem connection. The rooms are also en suite and feature a bath. Central heating also comes as standard in all rooms. The nearby beach in the village is sandy. The Water's Edge restaurant has held 2 AA Rosettes since 1989 - that adds up to 20 years of consistently producing delicious food thanks to the abundance of high quality local produce from the land and the sea.

The three-course Set Lunch Menu was a real treat, with just-right portions for a sit-down midday meal. We had a delightful lunch at the Reef Knot on the last day of March, sitting in the sunshine with wonderful views over St Mawes harbour. At the hotel reception we were greeted warmly, then had an aperitif in the lounge before lunch. I'd recommend Idle Rocks and will certainly visit again. Thank you.

We live nearby and come often. Somehow they manage to raise the standard every time. The food is out of this world, and the service is exceptional. From the moment you walk in, everyone makes you feel welcome. Thanks to Karen, David and the amazing team for all the care they put into making this place so beautiful. J & T x

My wife and I spent six nights here, and the whole team was attentive and always available when we needed anything. They went above and beyond to make the stay memorable. From our arrival, the welcome was warm and professional, with real care and attention. The dedicated staff create a friendly, comfortable atmosphere. We'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a stay where comfort and enjoyment are clearly considered.

I was a bit disappointed with Idle Rocks. For our honeymoon, I'd booked afternoon tea for Saturday 7/3/26 at 12.30pm, then called to move it to Sunday 8th. I was told there was no reservation and that they'd never served afternoon tea. That was odd, as I had the booking confirmation by email and had enjoyed afternoon tea on the terrace there in September 2020. They offered us lunch instead, but the menu didn't suit us, so we cancelled.
