The West Country / Cornwall region


Cornwall has long been one of the most popular holiday destinations in England because of its beauty and variety of activities. The Roseland Peninsular in Southern Cornwall has unrivalled coastal scenery with wooded glades, craggy cliffs, delightful creeks, secluded coves and beautiful fishing villages. It is steeped in history with its ancient megalithic monuments, legends and stately homes. The climate is the mildest in the UK, so the famous tropical gardens of Heligan, Trebah and Trelissick are well worth a visit. Falmouth, with the National Maritime Museum, is a short ferry journey away. The Eden Project, Tate Gallery at St. Ives, surfing in Newquay, Rick Stein's in Padstow, Caerhays Castle and gardens, and Helston and are all within an hour or so's drive. There is also course and trout fishing areas near Falmouth. It is fabulous for all water sports enthusiasts.
The St Mawes area
St. Mawes lies at the tip of the Roseland Peninsular in an area of outstanding natural beauty, surrounded by spectacular National Trust scenery. It provides some of the finest sailing waters in the British Isles. Being positioned within the Gulf stream, it has a mild climate, which in the summer is comparable to parts of the Mediterranean. St Mawes has its own tropical garden at Lamorran House and the beautiful gardens of St Just in Roseland Church are a walk away. The village boasts several restaurants and hotels serving superb local sea food. For a fine dining experience there is the world famous Tresanton Hotel. St Mawes has many amenities including a range of shops selling excellent local produce, two banks, three pubs, a hairdresser, a post office, chemist, doctors, churches, tennis court, kayaking, bike hire, fishing excursions, a sailing club and a very scenic Tudor Castle (English Heritage). Horse riding stables are five miles away. It is an ideal base for family holidays, having several sandy beaches, plus excellent rock pooling and crabbing off the quay.
The small idyllic harbour, an important port in medieval times, has a small working fishing fleet, fishermens cottages, sandy beaches, craggy cliffs and fields sweeping down to the sea. Being on the South West Coastal Path, it is a paradise for walkers and a magnet for artists, bird watchers and sailors. From the quay, there are passenger ferries to Falmouth (National Maritime museum), Truro and Place, or you can take a water cab up the Fal estuary. Failing this you could just laze on the beach with a Cornish pasty and watch the beautiful sailing boats...........A perfect spot for a memorable holiday.

We had a great holiday staying at the Crow's Nest, it was like a home from home. Everything we could of wanted was there. Denise, the owner, was very friendly and helpful and gave us suggestions of local sights and activities. The views were stunning looking out across St Mawes and the sea. We will definitely go back again! |

This spacious top floor flat has full height windows which open to give the most spectacular views across St Mawes and the sea. It is a real delight to sit and watch the harbour or the sunset from this well appointed apartment. Denise, the owner, could not have been more helpful, contacting us promptly and making suggestions of local sights and activities suitable for our party. A large lounge and open plan fitted kitchen have all the elements you need including a dvd player, Bose sound system, free wifi and plenty of maps and guides. The main bedroom again with full height opening windows and super views, has a very comfortable double bed and ensuite bathroom with bath / shower. The second bedroom has two twin beds and a separate bathroom also with bath / shower which was ideal for 4 of us. Although on the top floor, there is a lift. Parking is in the main car park a few minutes walk away - it is worth taking plenty change as you need £20 in coins for a week's parking. The local co-op is well stocked and open till 10.0pm, excellent bread and croissants are 2 mins away at the bakery and we found many lovely pubs all doing great local seafood. This is certainly a gem and we hope to stay here again. |
