The Idle Rocks Hotel  

The hotel is situated right on the rocks at the end of St Mawes harbour. The water view rooms have a spectacular view of the harbour leading richt back to the channel entrance. The rooms are very comfotable with large windows. The bathroom is large and airy. The staff at breakfast and a check in were very accommodating.

Checking out was a bit unfriendly and disinterested in attitiude.

I bought this reservation as a gift for my son and daughter in law. They were desperately disappointed with the standard of the room. " Not up to the standard of a back street B&B " was their description. Very poor reaction from the staff. Not a place to be recommended.

The location of the Idle Rock couldn't have been better, the view from the restaurant/lounge was fantastic. The food was also excellent and the service was there to match.

The room we were allocated was fairly small and very hot in the night with quite a lot of noise from the room above. The hotel only has a very small car park for guests which we wasn't lucky enough to be able to use, however there is a public car park about 300m away.

The food was excellent, particularly the Fal Mussels, which were the best ever. We were also delighted with our room (Chough) which has its own ground floor balcony.All the staff were polite and efficient.We could not have been better pleased.

We paid for a wwek parking in the public carpark across the road (£20) and thought it very reasonable, So we have nothing but praise and thanks for a good stay,

Friendly and helpful reception. Room was comfortable and clean but noisy. Location is excellent, but car parking is a little inconvenient.

Although both the food and service at breakfast was very good, the service at dinner was poor. The food was flavoursome but complex and pretentious and overpriced. A young lady was trying to keep order and attempting to pacify fellow dinners but was not supported.

The second room and the one I booked was lovely with sea views, food great, porter very helpful.

We were put in a room that we didn't book ,it was a the side with very little sea view, did not have a walk in shower and was a great deal smaller than the other rooms.I Complained as it was our honeymoon and was told that the best rooms were given to the regulars .

Additional expense for car parking. Feeling that some of the bedrooms would benefit from re-decorating and new carpets. Suggest option of dining- in without using the restaurant and ability to select meals from a more extensive menu.

We have stayed here before. We love the seafront location and the food was excellent. The hotel is very comfortable although the bedrooms need upgrading.

The staff was wonderful, they went out of their way to make us feel welcomed. great attention to details in every aspect.

Sorry but the bed was quite lumpy.

Location was excellent, food excellent but small portions, hotel staff excellent, comfort excellent

We didn't like the fact that there was no parking available. The only parking was away from the hotel in the council car park. The parking fees were confusing and we think the hotel should have some sort of arrangement where you can buy tickets from the hotel direct and the hotel make arrangements with the council.

Great location, very helpful front desk team. Great views and excellent location

Restaurant just did not live up tp expectation; main courses over cooked and really poor quality. Head waiter busy chatting up the feront desk staff to bother with quality of the restaurant.
