St Mawes Hotel

We had supper on the upper deck this evening (02.06.24) and were greeted by Ben. His attitude and service was just so refreshing and absolutely brilliant. If only he and Liam (F & B Manager) would run both the St Mawes Hotel and the Idle Rocks then two establishments would be much more respected in our opinion. Well done Ben and see you tomorrow. Regards Angela and Geoff

Lovely hotel for lunch. We went 2 days in a row. Weather was lovely so we had lunch on the balcony both days. Food was excellent and good value for the quality. Ben who served us was friendly knowledgable and provided excellent service. Views amazing. Although we only had lunch here we were impressed enough to consider coming back to stay for a few nights.

We were met by the waiter Ben. I have the highest praises for that gentleman. Nothing was too much hassle for him. After he showed us the Sunday lunch menu, we were gutted that there were no pizzas as mum and I always go there for them. After seeing how gutted we were he was quick to ask the Chef Julian what they could do, and after we had given up he surprised us at the table saying they would still make the pizzas for us. Thank you so much to Ben, Julian and the rest of the team for making our visit the best! We are both incredibly grateful for the attitude of the staff and of course the amazing pizza. I would definitely recommend this place!

Just called in for lunch and a beer. Elected for the pizza and it was divine! Great surroundings and staff friendly and pleasant. On the grounds that you can never get a 10, it scores 9.5! Excellent 😁

We had dinner in the restaurant. Excellent service and very good well cooked food...looking out over the bay was a delight. The fish pie is to die for... Good value for sure .An experience...a.must have on a visit to this harbour village.....

We had dinner at the St Mawes hotel last night. It was a birthday dinner for my husband . The staff made the experience very special with lovely touches including champagne. The food and service were exceptional and much appreciated. The restaurant’s atmosphere is cosy, comfortable and friendly. We will certainly return.

We came for Sunday lunch and they managed to get us a table which was great. Liam was so helpful and on the ball with everything he was fantastic. We had Amy serving us at the table and she was so lovely and very efficient. We only really have lamb when we go out for a meal as it is a treat and we was really looking forward to it however it really wasn't great, it was so tough. The potatoes where lovely and the salsa verda was yummy but when you are paying for the most expensive meal on the menu you expect it to be topnotch. We both wished we had the roast beef as that looked yummy.

Well, where do I start? We drove all the way down to Lizard (about five hours) for a booking we had made through Secret Escapes only to find the hotel there didnt have our booking. The manager was so rude and unhelpful and really not bothered about our predicament so we left and I remembered driving through St Mawes once and thinking how lovely this hotel looked. I jumped online on the car and booked - we drove straight there. The reception we received could NOT have been more different! We were greeted by the utterly charming Lydia who asked if we had had a good day so far, when we told her our story she immediately upgraded us to their best room, we couldn't believe it! We then got offered a couple of drinks on the house and tickets to their private cinema that night, anyone would think the Lizard problem was their fault! We sat in the beautiful upper deck bar looking out to sea and were incredibly well looked after by Matt who was new to the role but so welcoming. We stayed three nights and it was genuinely one of the nicest stays I have ever had - from staff recommendations of where to eat (Lydia even booked a local pub for us), where to visit (thanks for the ferry to Falmouth tip), the suggestions of what to order from the menu, the company of the staff and locals at the bar, I couldn't fault anything, and I am a fussy guest. We cant wait to go back, what a stunning place.

Really delicious and substantial pizza, the atmosphere is always great even when it’s not busy. We watched 2 Six Nations matches in their wonderful Secret Cinema too. Excellent Guinness was enjoyed also. They have superb background music playing with even a speaker outside.
