St Mawes is one of the finest waterside villages in Cornwall. Situated overlooking an idyllic bay on the eastern side of the famous Falmouth Estuary, St Mawes has one of the mildest climates in Britain due to its proximity to the Gulf Stream. The sea is at the heart of the village and has helped to shape St Mawes from the little fishing village to the fashionable holiday destination that is so popular with visitors. A mecca for boating enthusiasts, St Mawes is a particularly popular sailing centre. Weekly club racing, village regattas and larger events are commonplace on the superb waters of the bay all through the summer.
St Mawes has so much to offer the visitor. St Mawes Castle was built by Henry VIII and is a splendid place to take in the views of the Carrick Roads. There are miles of coastal and countryside walks to take in and some idyllic beaches on which to relax and watch the world go by. The little Place Ferry takes visitors to explore St Anthony's Head or there are regular ferries to Falmouth. Being situated on the seafront, the village is also known for the restaurants and pubs that serve superb fish and shellfish dishes all year round.
There is a selection of pubs & hotels with restaurants (including the renowned Tresanton Hotel) all within easy walking distance. There is a range of shops all within a few minutes’ walk including a well-stocked Cooperative store, Post Office, chemist, butchers, and art, book and clothes shops. The village also has a doctor’s surgery and a dentist’s surgery.
| Nilgiris is a beautiful light sunny house with stunning sea views.
The terrace is a real sun trap, and the open plan living space was loved by our children.
So nice to stay in a holiday home that is newly renovated with a good quality kitchen and decent showers!
We would not hesitate to go back. |

| Nilgiris is a stunning house with everything you need to enjoy a holiday break and its size makes it perfect for sharing with friends.
St Mawes itself is both beautiful and family friendly, even the special Hotel Tresanton welcomes children with open arms.
The views from Nilgiris over the harbour and sea beyond are completely captivating and so if you just want to relax and take it all in you can.
We loved it! |
