Just moments from the water's edge in the heart of St Mawes, The Old Court House is a characterful coastal cottage that perfectly combines Cornish charm with modern comfort. Sleeping up to eight guests, this beautifully restored home enjoys an enviable location just a few steps from the beach, harbour, cafés, restaurants and boutique shops that make St Mawes one of Cornwall's most sought-after seaside destinations.
Steeped in history and full of original character, the cottage welcomes guests with bright, airy interiors, exposed stonework and beautiful sea views from many of its rooms. Large windows flood the property with natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout.
The comfortable living spaces have been designed with relaxation in mind. The main sitting room centres around a traditional stone fireplace and offers the perfect place to unwind after a day exploring the coast, while a second lounge provides additional space for families and groups to spread out and relax.
The well-equipped kitchen makes preparing everything from leisurely breakfasts to family dinners a pleasure, while the separate dining room offers a wonderful setting for gathering together over good food and conversation. Outside, the pretty enclosed garden provides a peaceful retreat for morning coffee, al fresco dining or an evening glass of wine after a day by the sea.
Upstairs, the bedrooms continue the cottage's relaxed coastal feel, with many enjoying lovely views across the bay. Wake each morning to glimpses of the water and the gentle pace of life that makes St Mawes such a special destination.
One of the property's greatest attractions is its unbeatable location. Within seconds you can be strolling along the waterfront, enjoying a swim, launching a paddleboard or watching boats come and go from the harbour. Excellent restaurants, traditional pubs and independent shops are all within a short walk, allowing you to leave the car behind and fully embrace village life.
St Mawes is also the perfect base for exploring the Roseland Peninsula, with its beautiful beaches, scenic coastal paths and charming villages. Guests can visit St Mawes Castle, catch the passenger ferry to Falmouth, discover hidden coves along the coastline or venture further afield to attractions such as The Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Eden Project.
Whether you're seeking a family holiday, a romantic escape or a relaxing break by the sea, The Old Court House offers a wonderfully authentic Cornish experience in one of the county's most picturesque waterfront locations.
