Bessborough Green

Bessborough Green is a two-bedroom apartment on the top floor of a renovated Victorian house in the centre of St Mawes, on the Roseland. The property sleeps four and carries a 9.2 guest rating from 26 reviews through Cornish Traditional Cottages. Views across the Fal Estuary to Pendennis Point and a dedicated parking space at the rear - rare for central St Mawes - separate it from most village rentals. Prices start from GBP 571/week.

Inside, the Victorian proportions keep the rooms larger than the typical converted village flat. Two bedrooms share two bathrooms, and the sitting room has balcony access with water views. The kitchen comes equipped with a dishwasher and washing machine. Wifi is included, the property meets accessibility requirements, and dogs are welcome throughout.

The parking space serves one small car, reached via a narrow road to the rear. Pubs, restaurants, and local shops sit within a few minutes' walk. A small south-facing village beach and a sailing club are on the waterfront, along with the passenger ferry terminal.

St Mawes has a regular passenger ferry to Falmouth and a summer-only crossing of the Percuil River to St Anthony. The St Mawes Castle, built by Henry VIII in a sub-tropical garden, is a short walk from the apartment. The coastal path to St Just in Roseland church follows the estuary shore south of the village. Best for couples or small families wanting a village base with estuary views and ferry access to Falmouth. Less good for larger groups or guests who need a large garden.
