Stones Throw

Stones Throw is a 2-bedroom ground-floor cottage in St Mawes, sleeping 4 with 1 bathroom. Accessible features throughout, dogs welcome, rated 10 out of 10 from 34 reviews. That score puts it in a small group of consistently top-rated cottages on the Roseland.

The position is central to the village rather than tucked away. St Mawes Beach is 300 metres from the door - a sheltered, sandy beach on the Fal Estuary with calm water well-suited to swimming and paddleboarding. The estuary faces south, giving it a mild climate and more reliable conditions than the exposed Atlantic beaches on the north coast.

The village has several restaurants, a pub, and a post office within easy walking distance. St Mawes Castle, a well-preserved Henry VIII coastal fort with English Heritage status, is on the waterfront. The passenger ferry to Falmouth operates year-round and takes around 20 minutes, making Falmouth's restaurants and galleries easy to reach without a car.

The Roseland extends south with further beaches and coastal walking. Little Molunan and Great Molunan are 1.7km away, and Castle Beach is 3.3km. The South West Coast Path runs along this section in both directions.

Ideal for couples or families with a dog who want village life, accessible rooms, and reliable beach access without a car journey. Works well for those planning to use the Falmouth ferry. Less good for surfing - the Fal Estuary has no swell.
