Rejuvenate with blue sea views at this modern house perched above sleepy St Mawes - one of the most sought-after Cornish fishing villages. Step out alongside the iconic pastel cottages bustling with cafes and boutiques (five minutes on foot), and you'll quickly discover why St Mawes has ranked the UK's best coastal destination. Grab a crab baguette, hop on the ferry to Falmouth (dolphin-spotting on the way), or go mackerel fishing on the Madeline Rose. And no stay here would be complete without a visit to Henry VIII's St Mawes castle (thirteen minutes on foot). In the evening, the town is buzzing with energy, so sneak away for a cocktail, or hearty pub grub and a pint, if that's more your style. Back at home, your host has thought of every detail to make for a luxurious stay. Expect boutique hotel standards in the light-filled bedrooms - we're talking 100% Egyptian Cotton and mattresses fit for a queen (Hypnos beds hold the Royal Warrant, don't you know). While over in the living space, board games and a games console will keep kids entertained on drizzly days. But it's the bespoke concierge service that impresses us the most, with everything from... a private chef or a picnic hamper, to babysitting or massage bookings - you need only ask.

About The Roseland Peninsula
If you were to fly over the Roseland Peninsula, you would see a fairytale-like, quintessentially English landscape of higgledy-piggledy, asymmetric fields. And on the ground, it’s no less charming. Aside from rolling countryside, the peninsula’s long shoreline is characterised by craggy rocks and quiet coves, while winding roads will take you to historic hamlets, coastal towns and traditional pubs. Roseland Peninsula sticks out from the rest of West Cornwall, separated...
