The service from the staff was excellent. ##### Gwain Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andy 2 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Ideal Rocks. This place is a proper hidden gem. On the waterfront and with fantastic dining options it was the perfect place to spend a pre Christmas getaway and mooch around the classy little town of St Mawes, which always seems to be bustling without being overcrowded even at peak times of the year. The hotel makes the already superb location even better. The staff were very helpful and friendly and there is even an EV charger (albeit a fairly slow one). Rooms are cosy and individual with great facilities. We also took the ferry over to Falmouth (which runs almost every day) to have a wander around there. Essentially you can leave your car in the hotel carpark and explore the area on foot or using a bit of public transport/ferries. Cracking little place. ##### Andy ### 8/10 Good #### Genesis 18 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The Idle Rocks is a beautiful property in a great location. We arrived late, and our check in experience was exceptional. The staff at the front desk is lovely and very welcoming. We appreciated how short and sweet our check-in process was, especially after a 6 hour drive. There is a sweet young lady that welcomed us and showed us to our room as soon as we arrived. She also was kind enough to mail some postcards for us since we left on a Sunday. The night we arrived a man, who may be the overnight manager, offered us drinks before the bar closed. Him and the bartender were extremely attentive. A few downfalls that affected this rating were that housekeeping did not do a thorough job of cleaning. We ran out of toilet paper and they failed to refill it. I had to ask the front desk for some, and luckily the overnight manager delivered a whole pack of toilet paper. Additionally, our drinks from the first night were left in the room throughout our whole stay. We also found that the staff handling breakfast was rude. There was one waiter in particular, who never checked on us, gave us an attitude when we asked if we should seta ourselves since he failed to acknowledge us when we walked in. His demeanor was unwelcoming and made our breakfast experience very unpleasant. Luckily, Dean ended up waiting on us and was beyond exceptional. He really changed the experience and personally waited on us, although it is my impression that he may be the manager. Thank you dean! ##### Genesis Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mark 4 Jul 2025 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Boring Tired rooms with rubbish TV’s.

The idle rocks pulls it off. At the risk of further popularising this gem, I couldn’t recommend it more highly. ##### Paul Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### J.Stephen 30 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Wonderful corner room right on the water Fine service and exceptional food Only regret was the stormy English weather ##### J.Stephen Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 6 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Did not change the evening menue.so little choice on other evenings.The food was of course excellant.could possibly put on a daily special? ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 23 Apr 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Beautiful location and views, peaceful atmosphere and attentive staff ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 9 Apr 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A perfect weekend. Perfect, staff exceptional. We were mighty impressed! What a lovely setting too. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Slowboat, Gloucestershire (UK) 25 Sept 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely hotel next to harbour We stayed in the annexe (Rm 17) and the sea laps up to the window, almost. Nice spacious room with seating area at window end. Very clean and comfortable. Good breakfast(s). One issue with the shower whilst there, which was resolved quickly, although staff failed to inform us (minor irritation). Having said that the staff are very friendly, pleasant and helpful. Restaurant good, but if you love sea food the Watch House (almost) opposite the hotel is the place to go. All in all a lovely hotel in a lovely position. ##### Slowboat Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alex 6 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Alex Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 24 Jul 2025 ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 6 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Redworth Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newton-Aycliffe-Hotels-Redworth-Hall-Hotel.h517266.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Towcester-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Silverstone.h48251404.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Manchester-Airport.h75715089.Hotel-Information) > > [Ufford Park Woodbridge Hotel, Golf & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Woodbridge-Hotels-Ufford-Park-Woodbridge-Hotel.h12685.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel and Spa Chester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-And-Spa-Chester.h527788.Hotel-Information) > > [Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Grosvenor-Pulford-Hotel-Spa.h790572.Hotel-Information) > > [Newperran Holiday Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Truro-Hotels-Newperran-Holiday-Park.h33459783.Hotel-Information) > > [The Windermere Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-The-Windermere-Hotel.h13431161.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Christchurch-Harbour-Hotel-And-Spa.h18097.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Dunston-Hall.h519081.Hotel-Information) > > [The Norway Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Truro-Hotels-The-Norway-Inn.h30339949.Hotel-Information) > > [The Park Royal Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warrington-Hotels-The-Park-Royal.h24462.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Cheltenham-Cotswolds](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Doubletree-By-Hilton-Cheltenham.h65899.Hotel-Information) > > [Driftwood Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Truro-Hotels-Driftwood-Hotel.h36985005.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Bristol Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Bristol-Airport.h16543862.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Wokefield Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-De-Vere-Wokefield-Estate.h1044123.Hotel-Information) > > [Oulton Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leeds-Hotels-Oulton-Hall-Hotel.h15948.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Last Drop Village Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolton-Hotels-Last-Drop-Village-Hotel-And-Spa.h9341.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [The Seiners Arms](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Perranporth-Hotels-The-Seiners-Arms.h34972661.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Cotswold Water Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-De-Vere-Cotswold-Water-Park.h1770053.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lugger Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Truro-Hotels-The-Lugger-Hotel.h1835017.Hotel-Information)
