St Mawes is one of the finest waterside villages in Cornwall. Situated overlooking an idyllic bay on the eastern side of the famous Falmouth Estuary, St Mawes has one of the mildest climates in Britain due to its proximity to the Gulf Stream. The sea is at the heart of the village and has helped to shape St Mawes from the little fishing village to the fashionable holiday destination that is so popular with visitors. A mecca for boating enthusiasts, St Mawes is a particularly popular sailing centre. Weekly club racing, village regattas and larger events are commonplace on the superb waters of the bay all through the summer.
St Mawes has so much to offer the visitor. St Mawes Castle was built by Henry VIII and is a splendid place to take in the views of the Carrick Roads. There are miles of coastal and countryside walks to take in and some idyllic beaches on which to relax and watch the world go by. The little Place Ferry takes visitors to explore St Anthony's Head or there are regular ferries to Falmouth. Being situated on the seafront, the village is also known for the restaurants and pubs that serve superb fish and shellfish dishes all year round.
There is a selection of pubs & hotels with restaurants (including the renowned Tresanton Hotel) all within easy walking distance. There is a range of shops all within a few minutes’ walk including a well-stocked Cooperative store, Post Office, chemist, butchers, and art, book and clothes shops. The village also has a doctor’s surgery and a dentist’s surgery.
We had a lovely holiday in St Mawes, and Whitestones was a perfect place for us to stay. It was comfortable and suited our needs very well.

We really enjoyed ourselves … the weather helped … and thought Whitestones was an excellent base for our explorations/travels around the Roseland Peninsula. Also, your booking service worked perfectly, and the information guide was very useful. We will be making our holiday plans for next year soon, and would love to come back to you re Whitestones or other similar dog friendly properties.

We had a fantastic week at Whitestones - the property is very well appointed for a group booking with the open plan living area upstairs and the individual bedrooms/bathrooms on the lower level. Great location within walking distance of the village, harbour, and Victory Inn (which we frequented on most days!). The woodburner is a nice touch but due to the mild weather and sunshine heating up the top level, it didn't get much use. There is a great feeling of space in the property and excellent off-road parking. Kitchen was well equipped and there are plenty of bathroom facilities including 4 toilets! The decked area outside is lovely and would be ideal for summer dining - unfortunately this was not an option for us in October. Whitestones was home from home and we would definitely recommend this property to others.
