About St Mawes, Cornwall

----------------------------



St. Mawes is a pretty village that once used to be a fishing port. Narrow streets and cottages help to give St. Mawes a quaint feel, albeit with all the modern facilities you could need. There's a treasure trove of beaches, coves, and creeks all along the Roseland Heritage Coast, including beaches that are perfect for swimming and sunbathing.



You can take leisurely strolls along the coast, spend time relaxing on the beach or enjoy serene boat trips. If you are more active you can make the most of the wonderful walking trails and maybe take part in any of the water sport activities available. Our St. Mawes hotel also makes an excellent base from which to explore the region.
