I have just returned from a 5 day break at St Mawes with Shearings, staying at the Ship and Castle. Overall the trip was excellent value and I have no complaints at all about the transport, organisation, location, excursions or the driver who was outstanding. The only let down was the food at the Ship and Castle which I can... More

Stunning vistas from the refurbished downstairs. Good is good- choice, quantity and service. Rooms need more attention. 1st night I complained about the torn and stained shower curtain; the grey unwashed bedroom net curtain and the black dirt and mould around the bedroom and toilet windows. There was a partial improvement of a new shower curtain and net taken down... More

Just returned from a 4 night stay in this very comfortable hotel. Stunning location in the center of St Mawes overlooking the harbour. From the 'first floor' lounge it feels as if you are in the harbour afloat. Meals (breakfast and dinner) were excellent considering the cost of the break. The dining staff were efficient and friendly providing excellent service.... More

We were looking for a hotel with fantastic views. We were not disappointed, it was all we could have wished for and more, the staff were helpful, efficient and always pleasant. we had read some reviews but decided to make our own minds up, so glad we did. The food was of a high standard throughout, we had friends over... More

We were a little concerned by the reviews of this hotel, but decided to give it a go anyway.........we were pleasantly surprised. Location is brilliant, views lovely, staff good and attentive, breakfast plugged the gap, the room was comfortably if snug!!!!! We may have struck lucky but We will definitely be back.

This hotel room was the worst I have ever used in all my years of travelling. It was dirty, with cobwebs and even a spider body stuck to the wall, we even had to wait whilst the room was prepared. The shower cubicle and bathroom was too small and the mattress had partially collapsed. There was no scope for movement... More

I concur with other reviews that this well located hotel is far less than it should or could be given the price. We stayed there for 3 nights for the long weekend celebrating significant birthdays with local friends. We only had breakfast there which was passable though my poached eggs on the last morning were inedible. The bathroom was shabby,... More

The hotel is in a fabulous location on St Mawes waterfront. Unfortunately that is the best part. This is a Shearings group hotel and obviously a number of the guests were Shearings group customers and really suitable for independent travellers, we had not realised that when we booked. The communal areas are bright and well maintained. Our room was poorly... More
