Sleeps 4 / Bedrooms 2             

Traditional Listed Cottage with lovely sea views. Completely different and very romantic with open coal fire.

St. Mawes is a picturesque waterside village, offering its own safe sandy beaches, boating, walks and fine sailing waters. Small shops, pubs and restaurants nestle around the harbour. The Roseland has an unparalleled variety of scenery and unspoilt beauty - it is right on your doorstep!

This pretty cottage is lovingly and sympathetically renovated. Comfortable, quality furnishings enhance its original features. It has lovely sea views from an idyllic sheltered southerly aspect.

View from "The Gingerbread House"

At the front is a pretty terrace, bathed in sunshine and surrounded by flowers, looking straight over the view - a wonderful spot for morning coffee and the newspaper.

Step inside into a cosy beamed sitting room from which you can enjoy views of the sea from an antique rocking chair. The glow and warmth of a traditional coal fire may tempt you to stay at home for a romantic evening.

Music and television are discreetly hidden away but can be ingeniously revealed from a double-sided cupboard for watching or listening in either the sitting room or the kitchen.

The kitchen / dining room is well equipped, has a pine table and chairs and wooden floors. It is tastefully decorated with lots of finishing touches. 

Upstairs, the bathroom is quite exceptionally spacious with a Victorian free-standing, "roll top" slipper bath. There is also a shower cubicle and W.C. Pretty hand painted pottery adds to the atmosphere of this room. 

The romantic double bedroom decorated with roses, is very comfortable and has wonderful views of the sea and village below.

These views are extended in "the room at the top", a picturesque twin bedroom with beams & rafters. Access is by way of a 'secret staircase' from either the bathroom or the bedroom. The theme is nautical. The door is counterbalanced on pulleys making it a special experience for adults or a safe den for children to sleep and play.

When to visit

Spring arrives early in Cornwall when the area is enhanced with magnolia, camellias, azaleas and beautiful early blooms. Summer is generally hot, especially in St. Mawes with its south facing beaches and sheltered village. Out-of-season it can be delightful - the autumn evening light is magical and temperate days can contribute to a most relaxing winter break. At Christmas and New Year, the village is lively and full of atmosphere.
