Guests say
Dolphins Reach is a well-regarded cottage in St Mawes, praised for its stunning views, convenient location, and comfortable furnishings. Guests appreciate the proximity to local amenities and the thoughtful welcome pack. While the property is generally well-equipped, some minor maintenance issues and the limited number of showers have been noted.
The property is consistently described as clean, with no negative comments on cleanliness, indicating high standards are maintained.
The location is highly praised for its breathtaking views and proximity to local attractions, restaurants, and the beach, making it an ideal spot for visitors.
The property is considered comfortable, with special mentions of a big bath and comfortable furnishings. However, the suggestion for an additional shower indicates room for improvement in this area.
Facilities are generally good, but some guests noted a broken fridge shelf, cluttered kitchen, and minor wear and tear. The limited number of showers also affects this score.
The welcome pack with local biscuits and jams was well-received, showcasing the host's thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, guests should consider this a delightful bonus rather than an expectation.

electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Travel cot, highchair and stairgate. Welcome pack. Front garden with sitting-out area and garden furniture. Private parking for 1 car. No smoking.. Welcome to Dolphins Reach, a lovely spacious four-bedroom property sleeping six adults and two children in the small fishing village of St. Mawes, at the end of the Roseland Peninsula. The property is set over three floors so not suitable for people with mobility issues. Downstairs is all open plan, ideal for socialising. Folding doors lead from the living area to a large sun terrace with spectacular sea views. The bedrooms are split over the first and second level, with a second upper deck where you can watch the ferries coming and going.
It benefits from having its own parking (a premium in this hustling bustling village) so you can leave the car and walk as you are within a few minutes’ walk of the beach and village. St Mawes has a selection of boutique shops, cafés, restaurants, and pubs with a wide menu choice to suit everyone. St Mawes Castle is just over ½ mile away, and a gentle stroll takes you to the remains of an old artillery fort built by Henry viii where you can wander around the gardens soaking up the atmosphere. There is a local bus which takes you to Tregony and Portscatho, and, if you want to explore further, catch one of the ferries to Falmouth. This pretty town is situated on the harbour and there is lots to do here, including shopping, visiting the National Maritime Museum, walking around Pendennis Castle (another fortress built by Henry viii) or walking along the coast path.
This area of the Roseland is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty surrounded by small villages like Veryan with its unique round houses; Portscatho with is own beach; and plenty of rolling countryside and small beaches to explore. The mild climate allows sub-tropical plants to survive, visit the gardens at Lamorran and Caerhays Estate or walk around the 13th-century church at St Just. You can catch one of the river ferries and get off at Trelissick, the walks along the Fal are relaxing, you can walk around the house and gardens, stopping at the shop to bring some plants back. St Mawes is a popular destination all year round, attracting walkers and cyclists, artists and photographers who enjoy the tranquillity and spectacular scenery, families love the beaches and freedom of exploring. After busy days exploring, sit on the sun deck watching the sunset with a sundowner, eat al fresco admiring the view or just sit and relax chatting with friends. Beach 1 mile.
Free WiFi

Superb terrace with cracking view, convenient parking & great for the beach. Very comfortable. A second shower - perhaps overhead shower in en-suite - would improve the experience.

We loved staying at Dolphin's Reach. Well equipped and comfortable. The water pressure is amazing and I shall really miss the big bath!Emma Andrew looked after us very well and I hope we will be able to stay there again next year.

Dolphins Reach is in the beautiful village of St Mawes Cornwall. It is a short walk from the property to the village, although it is a very steep narrow road down/up to property.Lovely local restaurants, special treat take out fish and chips overlooking the harbour! Mini supermarket, chemist and some delightful shops in the village all within walking distance.The property itself is spacious and well equipped, over 3 floors with all of the bathrooms on middle floor. There is only one shower in the property located in the main bathroom, with a second bath in the en suite bedroom. The views from the 2 outdoor seating areas are breathtaking. ( Your reward for hiking up the hill!)Communication from Emma was outstanding and the welcome pack of local biscuits and jams was a lovely touch!We would definitely recommend Dolphins Reach, beautiful spot, hope to return soon.
