Overlooking the harbour in the heart of the village, The St Mawes Hotel offers a collection of comfortable, stylish rooms designed for relaxed coastal living. Each space blends easygoing charm with thoughtful touches, giving guests a warm, welcoming base just steps from the water.

Food is a big part of the experience here. The hotel’s restaurant serves seasonal Cornish dishes, fresh seafood and relaxed favourites, all enjoyed in a bright, friendly setting with views across the bay. The south‑facing balcony is a local favourite — perfect for long lunches, sundowners and simple moments watching boats drift by.

A unique highlight is the hotel’s Hidden Cinema, an intimate first‑floor space showing the latest films and major sporting events. It’s a cosy retreat after a day exploring the Roseland.

Rooted in the spirit of the village, The St Mawes Hotel is a true community hub — relaxed, sociable and perfectly placed for discovering this beautiful corner of Cornwall.

The bar & restaurant at the St Mawes Hotel is a convivial escape to enjoy authentic, quality dishes that showcase the best locally sourced Cornish ingredients. Menu options include both smaller and larger plates inspired by the sea, alongside stone‑baked pizzas and daily specials. Alfresco tables provide an idyllic spot to make the most of sunny days and enjoy spectacular views across the water.

Guests staying at the St Mawes Hotel will appreciate the comfortable lounge, complete with a compact library and log fire for cosy winter days. Nautical‑inspired interiors and unspoilt harbour views create a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere throughout. The hotel is also home to a luxurious 25‑seater Hidden Cinema and a beautiful Private Dining Room for up to 40 guests — perfect for celebrations, gatherings or simply unwinding after a day on the coast.
