St Mawes, Cornwall

'The quaint little town occupies an almost unrivalled position as a resting place for tired brain workers. It is in fact a natural convalescent home where men and women, weary and worn with city life, may recuperate their exhausted energies.'
A. Hayward, Ancient St. Mawes (Falmouth: Cornish Echo Company, 1899).

With a mild climate, stunning coastal scenery, fascinating history, and excellent dining opportunities, it is not surprising that St Mawes is once again one of Cornwall and England's most rewarding coastal locations. At the end of a long peninsula, St. Mawes creates a feeling of enforced relaxation.

Whether it's privacy and peaceful relaxation you need, or the chance to explore the beauty and history of one of England's most unspoilt coastlines, Tavern Rocks is the perfect choice. Just metres away from the house is Olga Polizzi's world-famous Tresanton Hotel for guests to enjoy an elegant dining experience. Tavern Rocks is well placed for a gentle stroll to St Mawes Castle, or for more energetic walks along the coast. By water, guests can explore further afield, either by using the St. Mawes passenger ferry to Falmouth, or by taking a private water cab to enjoy the beauty of the Fal Estuary.

No longer the preserve of boating enthusiasts, St. Mawes is the ideal location for an elegant holiday at the British coast, and Tavern Rocks provides all the comforts of modern day living in an unrivalled waterside setting.
