The Idle Rocks

Charming coastal retreat.
Perched above the harbor in St. Mawes, The Idle Rocks blends laid-back elegance with Cornish character. This boutique hotel features individually designed rooms, refined seasonal cuisine, and warm, thoughtful hospitality—all set within a postcard-perfect seaside village on England’s southern coast.
Insider Tip

See what’s scheduled at The Hidden Cinema, located at Idle Rocks’ sister property St. Mawes Hotel. This cozy cinema screens a mix of classic, family friendly, and cult favorite films throughout the year.

Where You’re Staying

Each guestroom is individually designed with contemporary furnishings, coastal tones, and a view of the sea, harbor, or village. All include plush beds, handmade toiletries, and thoughtful comforts designed for unhurried stays.

Where to Dine

The Reef Knot Restaurant delivers seasonal menus rooted in local produce and fresh seafood. Set beside the water, the dining room offers relaxed elegance and panoramic views. Weather permitting, dine on the south-facing waterside terrace.

Where to Relax

Rejuvenate at the SEVAN Spa, where holistic treatments draw on ocean elements and natural botanicals. Guests can enjoy massages and facials in a serene setting overlooking the water. The peaceful setting and tranquil interiors make it easy to relax between coastal strolls or boat outings.

What to Do

Explore the Roseland Peninsula’s scenic walking trails, historic gardens, and harbor towns. Take to the water with sailing or paddleboarding, or discover the region’s maritime history with a ferry ride to Falmouth. The hotel concierge can assist with arranging local excursions.
