Number Seven sits in an enviable position right on the waterfront in the picturesque harbour village of St Mawes. It is a delightful 3 bedroom cottage with outstanding views across the beautiful bay from virtually every room. The cottage is full of character & deceptively spacious, sleeping up to 6 people in a double, twin and bunk bedded room. Tavern beach is literally a few steps from your front door and the harbour is a short stroll away along the seafront. The cottage also benefits from a superb private rear garden which is terraced away from the house. The whole property offers a wonderful place to relax, unwind and enjoy the sea air!
The entrance to the cottage is directly from the waterfront road through a porch into the lounge area with wonderful views across the bay. The dining room has a large table with further views to the front. To the rear is a good sized kitchen, fully fitted and complete with an Aga, plus a conventional oven and electric hob. There is access to the private back garden from here. A further utility room and ground floor WC is accessed from the lounge where there is also a door to the back garden. The first floor has a superbly fitted travertine wet room with shower and a separate bathroom. The bedrooms all have views across the bay and the double & twin both have good sized wardrobes.

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.
Within walking distance of the cottage, there are a number of pubs, cafes and hotels with fine dining restaurants, including the famous Hotel Tresanton. St Mawes has a good Co-op supermarket, Post Office, chemist, butcher and fresh fish is available for a kiosk on the quay.
