Welcome to

The Idle Rocks Hotel

The location of The Idle Rocks hotel is picture perfect.  In the heart of St Mawes, "capital" of the Roseland Peninsular, The Rocks, as it is affectionately known, offers guests a fabulous setting with wonderful views, comfortable rooms all individually decorated, superb dining, good hospitality and space to relax and de-stress.  

For much of the year guests can enjoy the outdoors and harbour activity from a front row position on the hotel's spacious waterside terrace.  During the few colder months Cornwall experiences, guests can seek the comforts of the lounge with its real log fire.  The Idle Rocks is a year round destination and the winter months attract visitors, many whom return year after year in the hope of some exciting storm watching from a ringside seat!

 

An ideal base...

 The Idle Rocks is a good base for visiting the southern part of Cornwall. It is surprisingly accessible to a number of key attractions and recommended places to visit and the nice thing is that a car isn't mandatory once you're here.  Water transport is a pleasant means of travel around here and a novel way to visit Truro, Falmouth, Cornish gardens such as Trellisick, Glendurgan and Trebah or simply to take a different coastal walk and tuck into lunch at a gastro pub along the Fal river.
