The full length French windows in the lounge and master bedroom mean that you can enjoy these spectacular views whilst relaxing on the comfortable sofas or even having tea in bed! While away hours drinking in the scenery and watching the sailing boats without even leaving the flat.

When you want to go out, you are extremely well situated. The apartment is only 100 metres from the picturesque quay with its quirky shops, atmospheric pubs and fine restaurants. If you fancy a trip to Falmouth, you can watch as the ferry comes in to the harbour and then time your dash to catch it.

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.

“Stunning views and very relaxing” We were impressed from the moment we walked in and it just kept getting better. It was spacious (there were just 2 of us), comfortable and well resourced; we had all we needed and wonderful views. The village is lovely and so much can be done without a car; we only used it once.

“Excellent” The Crows Nest is an extremely clean and comfortable apartment with fantastic views over the harbour - makes your morning cup of tea in bed a real treat! The owners could not have been more helpful with lots of information about where to go and what to see. St Mawes is a great location from which to explore the area which is beautiful and there is a good shop and several good restaurants/pubs in the village so you can also just relax and not take the car out! There are regular boats to Falmouth and the Museum there is well worth a visit. Lovely walks/beaches and gardens to visit so something for all ages - we would not hesitate to recommend this lovely apartment .

“Simply Perfect !” Crows Nest is a fabulous base to explore this lovely area and theres so much to occupy yourself with in and around St Mawes... that the car isn't essential. We used it once in the week to visit the lizard but could easily of just speant another day wandering locally. Walks, great food, ferries to other parts of cornwall are on your doorstep. The owners were lovely and took the time to make sure we had a fantastic week. little detail was well appreciated and went a long way. The beauty of the apartment is the stunning views that allow you to watch the world go by without needing to move. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and really didn't want to leave. Don't hesitate to book yourself for a week i'll defintaley be recommending this place to family and friends.

“A fabulous property in a wonderful location” If you are looking to take advantage of everything that St Mawes has to offer based in a comfortable apartment with stunning views, then Crows Nest is for you. The highlights for my family were waking up to sea views, retreating to the double aspect lounge after a day on the beach, and sleeping soundly on the very comfortable beds. Lots of nice pubs and shops on the doorstep. It's feasible to simply park your car for a week and use the ferries and local facilities. Highly recommended.

“Great location at a wonderful place” We have very much appreciated to stay in that modern equipped and well situated apartment on the top floor (third) of a renovated building with a splendid view down to the picturesque port of St Mawes and to the sea on the other side. The structure of the apartment pleased us a lot with two bedrooms, two modern bathrooms and on the other side a generous sitting room, dining lounge and high standard kitchen in one large room. We felt very much at home on from the first moment.

“Brillant place to stay!” 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!

“The best views in Cornwall, a real gem” 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.

“Cornwall's Best Kept Secret” The apartment was booked at the last minute and the proprietor was quick to respond and very accommodating. We arrived late on the Friday day after driving down and were delighted with what we found. The crow's nest is a great 2 bedroom apartment with a generous open plan kitchen and living area with what is probably the best view in St Mawes. Definitely allow some time to explore St Mawes and the general area. There are some great walks around the coast, churches and St Mawes castle. In the town are some good cafes and on the pier the best pasties in Cornwall. We spent some time driving around Cornwall to many of the popular spots such as Perranporth, St Agnes, Porthtowan, Porthreath, St Ives, Land's End and Mousehole but all agreed that St Mawes was the best of the lot. We will definitely be going back here for some R&R and to explore more of Cornwall.

15 Jul 2011

“Beautiful apartment with breathtaking scenery” We have been fortunate enough to have visited St Mawes on more than one occasion and after being recommended to try Crowes Nest by friends, have returned to this beautiful apartment ever since. It is in the perfect location and facilitates your very need. It has the most breathtaking views from every window and I mean every window! We have visited St Mawes in all seasons and have never been disappointed. There are many beautiful wallks and should you want to shop, Falmouth is a short boat ride away or if feeling a little more adventurous, you can hire a kayak and explore yourself. We love the apartment and St Mawes and hope to visit again soon.

25 May 2011

“a hidden gem” St Mawes is such a beautiful seaside town and what topped off our stay was staying at Crowe's Nest. As all correspondence was done over the internet this made it a breeze. Nothing was overlooked and Denise's local knowlege was invaluable as we navigated our way around. Her reviews of certain cafes and restaurants were very accurate. As we are Australians and because Cornwall is probably not a popular destination, I was quick to spread the work about the area when we got back.

“Stunning Views Relaxing Apartment Most Enjoyable” Great location for walking, driving or to take the ferry there is also the option of the bus that is a few minutes walk away. The accommodation is tastefully furnished and has everything to help you enjoy your stay there. If you want to just sit and relax then the views are beautiful.

“A fabulous place to relax” Wonderful location, stunning views, beautifully furnished and maintained apartment. We loved the local walks, ferries and food. Parking not a problem but involves either a bit of a walk or public car park fees. This is the only place we have stayed that has provided a dictionary, very useful for help with the crossword. Also free Wi-Fi.

“For a smartly equipped central location, The Crow's Nest is top!” This top floor flat is located in the little town of St. Mawes, and is very handy for the shops and the harbour making it easy for nipping down for fresh croissants each morning.The flat is very well equipped and every comfort has been provided, including DVDs, books, internet and an excellent sound system. The owners make you feel welcome as soon as you arrive. The views from The Crow's Nest are lovely and constantly changing, so if the weather is wet there is still plenty to see from the windows. There is a lift to the flat and despite being in a central location it is still quiet and peaceful. St. Mawes has some very steep hills, but this building is not located on one, so it is easily accessible on foot. Parking can be on the road nearby or in the public carpark further on. The beach is beautiful and the harbour is busy. The ice creams and cream teas are delicious.
