I still haven't got over the fact that I had to leave! What an enjoyable 2 days. The hotel is stunning. Our suite with 2 rooms  on the water was idyllic. The view....sigh! The food is excellent. But what really made it was the staff. Exceptional. Couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. You can see the pride they take in working there. I can't wait for to return

We had dinner here the other night after seeing it was listed in the Michelin guide. The location and venue can't be faulted, it helped that it was a beautiful evening amd we started with a glass of champagne outside overlooking the sea, it couldn't have been a better start. We then moved inside for dinner. The decor is lovely and we had a great table however, this is where the positive experience stopped. Unfortunately the food and service was not good, in fact, the main we ordered, lobster tagliatelle, was terrible. The lobster was good as it was fresh but the pasta was overcooked, stuck together and had no salt, it was so disappointing. We also had to wait a long time to get the wine and the waiters seemed like they didn't know what they were doing.
It is such a shame for such a beautiful setting, we had such high hopes and left feeling very unimpressed.

We have just returned form a three night stay at this amazing hotel for our 25th anniversary.  From the moment we entered the reception area and were met by Summer and Sian we knew we would have a lovely time.  The room was amazing and the staff were always very helpful and friendly and made you feel exceptionally welcome.

The restaurant staff were friendly and efficient and the breakfasts are superb as is the dining room in the evening.

We will definitely be returning and cannot thank the staff enough for such a wonderful stay.

The hotel is a real treasure and the staff are too!

I've been coming to St Mawes since I was a small boy, and the Idle Rocks holds many fond memories. However since the new owners have taken over the service is just woeful. For the price I'd expect a far better more attentive standard.
Interestingly, the St Mawes Hotel, same owner, has some of the best service experienced.
