The Idle Rocks
Harbour wall hotel, two dog rooms, one flat fee per stay
This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.
What we've verified
You walk straight out onto the St Mawes harbour front, and the coast path towards St Mawes Castle and Summers Beach starts a couple of minutes along. Carne and Pendower, twenty minutes round the Roseland, take dogs all year.
Two ground floor cottage rooms, and dogs don't come into the public rooms.
How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.
GBP 30, One off fee for the full duration of the stay
What we've confirmed, at a glance.
The property.
Verified with the hotel, honestly marked.
Dogs stay in two ground floor bedrooms in the adjoining cottage. The public areas, including the restaurant, the terrace and the lounge, are kept for people. If you want to eat with the dog, the hotel's sister property The St Mawes Hotel is across the harbour and takes dogs in its Lower Deck bar and restaurant.
Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
Everything, without the wall of text.
