The Idle Rocks in St Mawes Retains MICHELIN Key in 2025 Guide
A stay that’s anything but ordinary in St Mawes
The Idle Rocks, the 19-bedroom Relais & Châteaux hotel overlooking the harbour in the heart of St Mawes, has once again been awarded one MICHELIN Key in the 2025 MICHELIN Guide. The accolade recognises hotels that offer a truly special stay.
Perfectly perched above the water, The Idle Rocks is described as “your home away from home, by the sea.” Each room is individually designed to reflect the understated elegance of waterside living, while the hotel’s award-winning restaurant celebrates the very best of Cornish produce.
Retaining this MICHELIN Key is described as a true honour and a reflection of the team’s commitment to warm, genuine hospitality in one of Cornwall’s most beautiful coastal settings.
