Half term treat in St Mawes

A 16th century castle, a picture perfect harbour village and an idyllic bay are just some of the attractions that make St Mawes on the Roseland Peninsula a popular holiday destination.

In May it is a peaceful retreat without the volume of visitors that it gets in the summer months, and, enjoying one of the mildest climates in Britain, is a perfect place for a fun packed family holiday.

Beaches, gardens, access to miles of coastal and countryside walks and water sports can be enjoyed without leaving the village and passenger ferryboats can be boarded from the harbour to the St Anthony headland and Falmouth.

Cornwall’s Cottages have a range of self-catering properties available for half term that are an ideal base to discover this wonderful harbour village and beyond.
