Highbank - A House In St Mawes
About the home
St Mawes is a small, whitewashed fishing village perched at the very end of Cornwall’s Roseland peninsula. It’s the perfect location for breaks all year round; popular for bucket and spade summer holidays but also Christmas breaks, sunny spring weekends and autumn evenings sitting by an open fire after long cliff top walks.
Highbank sits in an elevated position overlooking the village and estuary below; a warm, welcoming home with a log fire, crisp cotton sheets, beautiful views and light airy rooms. St Mawes harbour and village with a good variety of shops, restaurants and pubs are just five minutes walk down the hill.
Warmed by the gulfstream, the climate is mild all year round. In the garden big enough to play or to relax in palm and olive trees trees flourish, flowers bloom early and apples ripen to go straight into a pie.
Whether you visit for a weekend or a fortnight, for a party or a special occasion, to escape from work or do some work, to swim, walk or cycle, to eat or to sleep, Highbank, a house in St Mawes, is a brilliant place to take a break at any time of the year.

The Roseland boasts many pubs and a handful of specialist shops. St Mawes even has a small working fishing fleet which now runs a wet fish shop on the St Mawes harbour quay.
