We had a wonderful stay at Top Sails in beautiful St Mawes. From the moment we stepped inside, the apartment felt calm, beautiful and incredibly comfortable. Everything had been thoughtfully designed and finished to a very high standard, making it feel like a real home from home with a touch of luxury. The location is perfect for exploring the village, enjoying the harbour and taking in the beauty of the Roseland Peninsula. We particularly loved the peaceful atmosphere and how easy it was to completely switch off and relax. Top Sails was the perfect base for a restful Cornish escape and we would happily return again. A truly lovely place to stay in one of Cornwall’s most special coastal locations....
