The Idle Rocks sits on the edge of the harbour wall in the quaint fishing village of St Mawes, on the tip of the Roseland Peninsular, an area of outstanding natural beauty. The view from the hotel is the Cornish dream brought to life: a small, idyllic harbour, narrow lanes of tidy fisherman's cottages, green fields that slope down to the sea and sandy beaches. It's location on the southern coast of the UK's mildest county, where daffodils begin to bloom in January, makes the Idle Rocks is a destination to visit all year around
Aside from its enviable location the hotel is a magnet for discerning diners, attracted by its reputation for superb cuisine as well as those simply seeking to relax in its friendly ambience and comfortable accommodation.

The Water's Edge Restaurant...
The preparation of exquisite food at The Idle Rocks (Two AA Rosettes since 1992) is a well established tradition, born from the rich availability of locally-grown Cornish produce, including early season fruit and vegetables, fresh sea fish and the best quality meats and poultry.
