Beautiful Property, lovely stay.
Hideaway has been decorated tastefully, the layout is perfect, everything has been thought through. The views are heavenly. The location is a 5 minute walk to the beach, so well located - quiet but central. The hosts are generous and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return in the future.

Outstanding!
I booked Hideaway as a special treat for my mum and dad. My mum has mobility issues and the owners (and Cornwalls Cottages) could not have been more helpful, both before I made the booking and during my parentsA? stay, in terms of giving information about access and helping with where to park in St MaweA?s. Mum and dad said it was an exceptional property and they had an amazing time.

Hidden gem of St Mawes
Comfortable retreat with amazing views. Watching life on the sea is wonderful come rain or shine. Well equipped if you want to cook a meal but lots of choices if you want to eat out. IA?d rather keep Hideaway a secret to be honest!

Wonderful flat, wonderful sea view, wonderful hosts
The location could not be better: best sea view from all great windows, a lot of space (rooms) for 4 people and two excellent bathrooms (shower!). Gail and Nigel were very kind and helped immediately if it was necessary. We recommend this cottage unlimited! Thanks for great holidays in Cornwall!

Did not want to leave
Gail and Nigel are extremely friendly, and considerate to their guests, but respectful of their guests privacy. Hideaway has a view that always makes you catch your breath. Hideaway is equipped as well as our home. Our unfulfilled dream was to have somewhere to escape to in Cornwall, however, for two weeks at Hideaway we lived our dream.

Amazing stay once again
This was our 2nd stay at Hideaway & it was as amazing as we remembered. Everything you could possibly need is provided & We instantly feel at home. It is such a relaxing place to stay but within easy walking distance of the village. We will definitely stay again.

Just perfect!
Would have no hesitation in recommending Hideaway. Will hopefully be staying again next year. The owners Nigel and Gail could not be more helpful and the property is wonderful, fabulous views and great terrace to BBQ . We visit Cornwall most years and rate this the best so far. St Mawes is a fabulous place and the locals made us feel so welcome everywhere we went. 10/10 in terms of rating.

Stunning property with amazing views
We stayed for a week in this beautifully maintained and comfortable property. One of the best equipped and furnished properties weA?ve ever stayed in. Everything was top notch quality and made our stay so comfortable. Gail and Nigel were friendly, helpful, on hand if you needed, but discreet. The view from every room was stunning, even on an overcast day. The garden was beautiful, and from the terrace you have a wonderful view of it. A handy gate in the garden opens onto a walkway which takes you to the centre of St Mawes in about 5 minutes, an easy walk down, but a bit steeper on the way up! Perfect location for walks, or catching the little ferries to Falmouth, Trelissick, or Place. We forgot to write in the visitors book before we left, but to sum up, it was a fabulous holiday, in a stunning house. Many thanks to Gail and Nigel for being so welcoming and friendly. Highly recommended.

great stay
This is a beautifully appointed ground floor flat with direct access to wide garden and patio terrace with a stunning water views. V clean and well kept - the bathrooms are lovely. Also spacious. St Mawes in winter is v peaceful, don't know what summer is like. The owners, who live on the floor above, were away, so our interaction was brief, but they seemed very nice. Would definitely go again. The only weird thing was the gas fire in the lounge - when we put it on, it gave off an odd fuel smell - maybe because it hasn't been used for a while.

Great view in a fabulous house
Gail was an excellent communicator and gave detailed instructions on how to find the property and gain access, they were away for the weekend. What a spectacular view from the bedroom and lounge/dining room with the water in front of you. A spacious bedroom with a very comfortable bed, and the ensuite was beautifully designed. The kitchen was a dream and everything that you needed for cooking was there. My husband and I loved our stay here and would highly recommend this accommodation to everyone.

Perfect holiday
We had the most amazing 2 weeks at Hideaway. From start to finish everything was perfect. Gail & Nigel have created a beautiful holiday home with every home comfort thought of. The view is spectacular & we had such a relaxing time sitting on the terrace watching the boats coming & going. St Mawes is a lovely place with plenty of places to eat & drink, also the ferry to Falmouth is a must do. We have already booked again for next year & cant wait to return.

A Greek Island experience without the hassle of airports
Our weekend in Mid February was the coldest of the year in the UK yet Gail and Nigel gave us the warmest of welcomes and ensured that their oh so comfortable apartment was tropically warm. We would have been content to enjoy the panoramic views over St Mawes and the Falmouth estuary and Helford river coastline without even going outside. We did of course and found Trellisk and Trebah gardens three months ahead of the UK with camellias and daffs in full flower and Rhododendrons beginning to open. A perfect weekend.

Beautiful Hideaway...
A beautiful location on the hill ensuring fabulous views from every room. The clever design means you feel secluded but the lovely, friendly owners are not far away if you need them. Just a short walk into town it provided the best of both worlds being able to walk to the pub, or enjoy staying at the house taking in the amazing view- would definitely stay again!

Another fabulous week in Hideaway
We have stayed at Hideaway twice and have already booked our stay for next year. The owners, who live on site, are friendly and helpful. The property is faultless and the view is to die for. We have been lucky with the weather for the time of year but even when it rained a couple of times the place is so comfortable it is actually nice to have an excuse, if one is needed, to lounge on the sofa and watch the clouds, read a book or play a game. If you are into cooking on holiday then the kitchen is better stocked than any holiday cottage I have ever stayed in - you could take on any "bake-off" challenge or cook a full Sunday roast if the fancy took you. When the sun shines you have a huge terrace with sun loungers and a barbecue. The beach is a few minutes walk away.

Hideaway- feedback
We enjoyed returning to St Mawes this year. We were delighted with Hideaway. the location is second to none- and the accommodation did not disappoint. It was lovely to wake up to a fantastic sea view! The owners were very friendly and did their utmost to accommodate our needs. The apartment was extremely well equipped with everything we could possible need for a self catering holiday.
From the Owner:
5 out of 5
Superb in every way
Just as superb as the photos on the website show. To wake up to those views is just amazing. The owners have thought of everything you could possibly need. The quality of fitments, furnishings etc is just first class. To sit out on the terrace and look out to St Anthony Head is probably the best view of any property I have seen anywhere, it was like being in a dream. Loved every minute of the stay.

We have stayed in several holiday homes, but this was special. Gail and Nigel have paid such attention to detail. There was nothing that we needed that had not been provided.

From beginning to end we had no complaints We were greeted by the hosts as soon as we arrived and they were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The views from our windows were spectacular. The accommodation was spotlessly clean. The kitchen was small but adequate. TV in every room. Nothing was lacking. We will certainly want to go again should the opportunity arise

Stunning location for a holiday home.
We stayed at Hideaway for a week in early June. A fabulously located cottage with a stunning view from the lounge and bedrooms. Even if the weather is poor, you can enjoy looking out from inside the cosy lounge. Most days, we were lucky enough to be able to sit out on the spacious and sunny terrace. The cottage is really well equipped with crockery, cooking utencils etc. The bed was really comfortable and the shower was good which is always a bonus. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to our friends.

The amazing Hideway Cottage in Cornwall
We loved staying at the Hideway cottage. I will like to rate this cottage beyond excellent. I would love to re visit the cottage with family and friends in the near future. Nigel & Gail are were very polite and helpful. The view from the cottage is just amazing. The fireplace in the cottage and the light effects made our evenings memorable, we enjoyed all our meals. We didn't feel like going to the restaurants. A big Well Done! to Nigel and Gail. Look forward to visiting again :)

Totally perfect location, could not be better
The accommodation is located in the ideal place in St Mawes, 4 minutes walk from the centre but sufficiently far to be quite and to have an EXCELLENT view. It has been refitted very recently and is in perfect condition. To top it all the owners are totally charming and will be able to give you some guidance on where to visit and eat. It makes for a pretty perfect combination.

A fantastic apartment in a stunning location!
Hideaway has been finished to a high standard and has got everything you need, even the children got their own bathroom! It's location is fantastic and as long as you're not afraid of a small hill climb, the views are spectacular. Nigel and Gail were wonderful hosts and a real credit to holiday rentals. Don't be put off by the compact kitchen mentioned by others; it has everything you need and honestly I dont cook banquets when I'm on holiday so kitchen space really wasn't a problem. Plenty of books available to keep you occupied and an on hand washer and dryer proving invaluable in bad weather with kids. St Mawes itself is a great location and had it not been foggy all week we would have done more walking around the peninsular but rain or shine both cottage and location were a fab choice with some wonderful pubs to while away the evenings playing games with the kids. There are some steps to access the apartment so baby buggies might struggle but I fully recommend Hideaway to couples and families alike.

Delightful Hideaway
Hideaway is a really special place to stay, the location is wonderful with stunning views of the bay. The accommodation is exellent, however the kitchen is on the small side when there are 4 persons staying although extremely well equipped. The bedrooms and the living room are very comfortable and the bathrooms first class. The terrace is large and again well equipped as is the laundry room. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and will definately return at some time in the future. Mr and Mrs Wakley are excellent hosts and we found them to be extremely helpful in every way. A wonderful find.

Our stay at Hideaway
From the moment we arrived and met Gale we knew the stay was going to be a memorable one. The view from the property was second to none and we where able to walk into St Mawes with ease. The information we received on Roseland was invaluable although there was no need to go out as the position of the the property could not be faulted and the owners where very helpful. We had a very enjoyable and relaxing holiday.

A Hidden Gem
Hideaway is literally a hidden gem ! Nigel and Gail, the owners, were very welcoming and accommodating and helped us to settle in quickly. The flat has an amazing view of the waterfront at St Mawes and over to Place from the lounge and both bedrooms which provided all the entertainment we needed. The flat was furnished to a very high standard and equipped very well. If you are a cooking enthusiast, you may find the kitchen a little on the tight side, but it was very well equipped and we found it was great for our needs. Hideaway is also very handy for St Mawes - just a quick walk down a 'secret' alley (as named by our children) and you arrive in the centre of the village, which we found very useful for our regular ice-cream forays and eating out. A great base for a relaxing or active holiday !

Hideaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in St Mawes at Hideaway . It's a beautiful little Apartment that worked for the four of us, with everything we wanted to make us feel at home. The area is a little hilly so we got plenty of exercise! But the views from our rooms were absolutely stunning. Our hosts were friendly,helpful and informative.
