Hotel Tresanton

Perched on the edge of St. Mawes, a picturesque fishing village at the tip of the untouched Roseland peninsula, the Tresanton offers great design melded with the highest standard of comfort. The elegant rooms, many with their own terrace, have been individually furnished with antiques and Cornish art and offer stunning views across the sea and look towards St. Anthony's lighthouse. Perfection is found in the immaculate service and astonishing attention to detail - from tile mosaics to warm wood floors to Wellingtons thoughtfully left by the door for an impromptu Coastal walk.

The restaurant, with terraces overlooking the sea, specialises in fish and other local produce The dining room has a calm and cool Mediterranean atmosphere with a mosaic floor and tongue and groove walls. It has a terrace on two sides, where lunch, drinks and candlelit dinners are served in the summer, and whenever the temperate climate allows.

As perfect base for exploring the beautiful Cornish landscape (or seascape, as the Tresanton also has a 48 foot 1930s yacht and modern speedboat for hire), or as a place to relax and unwind with a good book and a massage, the Tresanton makes the ideal West Country getaway.
