The Ship and Castle  

On the quay in postcard-perfect St Mawes, right on the water's edge. Steps from St. Mawes Beach and the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and a short hop to St. Mawes Castle. Ferry links run to Falmouth, Trelissick Gardens, Malpas and Truro; Newquay airport is about 47 km away.

A 54-room waterfront beach hotel with old-world charm and harbour-side character. Sea-view rooms are available and in high demand; rooms include desks, coffee/tea makers, cable TV, showers and hairdryers with daily housekeeping. Bar and lounges provide a relaxed spot to watch the tide and village life.

Onsite restaurant, bar/lounge and a coffee shop/café—perfect for watching the quay or grabbing a quick snack. Complimentary Wi‑Fi, paid on-site parking, laundry services and a 24-hour front desk add practical comfort. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and harbour views from select rooms.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. 24-hour reception, luggage storage, private check-in/out, safe-deposit box, elevator access, laundry (extra charge) and a doctor service are available.

The hotel restaurant serves dinner and a full breakfast daily (served 8:30–10:00 for a fee). The bar and lounges pour drinks, and the café offers light bites—expect a focus on classic Cornish treats like a traditional cream tea.
