The Idle Rocks

The Idle Rocks has the most enviable location in St Mawes, overlooking the harbour with views across the river Fal to Falmouth. Our 19 bedrooms, most with stunning vistas over the bay, have been thoughtfully designed, each having their own unique identity with fabulous fabrics and decor that leave you in no doubt that you are by the sea. After a long day lazing on the beach, our south facing terrace is the perfect place to relax, have a long drink, and watch the world go by. You may even see your dinner being landed on the harbourside.

The Idle Rock’s restaurant, run by our head chef, Mark Apsey, is a celebration of Cornwall; showcasing a range of fabulous produce that has been sourced locally using only seasonal fresh ingredients. In many cases it will have been swimming right on our doorstep only a few hours earlier and while the food is of the very highest standard our setting is very relaxed.

THE IDLE ROCKS

The Idle Rocks is the orange of the crab lines, the blue of the Cornish sky, and the sound of a hundred clinking lines against masts.

The Idle Rocks is situated idyllically, on the Harbourside of St Mawes. With 20 bedrooms, each with its own unique scheme, a Restaurant seating 65 with views across the unspoilt Harbour, and a South facing Terrace that sits perfectly on the rocks… the Idle Rocks is the place where people can re-engage with the simpler pleasures in life.

YOUR PLACE BY THE SEA

The Idle Rocks sets new standards of comfort and service, creating a true feeling of home from home for our guests. Our food offering is a celebration of Cornwall and its local produce, only using seasonal, fresh and locally sourced ingredients prepared with simplicity and to the highest of standards.
