Welcome to The Pilchard Shed, our tranquil haven in the heart of St Mawes.
Nestled just back from the harbour and footsteps away from tranquil waters.
Nestled at the top of a cobbled path and tucked between the higgledy-piggledy houses of stunning St Mawes.
A nautical theme runs throughout the hideaway in the most tasteful style.
The kitchen may be small but is cleverly designed to hold everything you need for your getaway.
The hideaway has been designed beautifully to make the most of the space.
Climb the ladder to find your lovely king-sized bed.
Make use of the storage spaces behind and below the seating area.
Sumptuous soft furnishings run throughout.
The table folds away and hangs on the wall to save space.
Unique quality features run throughout, such as hand-carved utensils.
Just the sweetest Belfast sink we've ever seen!
The kitchen leads through to the charming shower-room.
The chic style flows effortlessly into this cleverly designed space.
Freshen up after a morning swim in the harbour.
Just to the left of the kayaks you can spot Manor Cottage. This is how close The Pilchard Shed sits to the harbour! What a location!
Six steps lead up to The Pilchard Shed which is nestled through the white gate to the left of pretty Manor Cottage. The Pilchard Shed can be booked alongside Manor Cottage for larger parties.
Why not hire a kayak and take to the water for the day?
There are so many wonderful eateries in St Mawes.
The Roseland Peninsula is just on your doorstep.
And the stunning sandy shores of Porthcurnick aren't far!
When visiting Porthcurnick make sure to try something delicious from the famous Hidden Hut!

Small but perfectly formed! The bed is big and comfy, the property is tiny but cosy. The location is amazing!!

Made booking a getaway stress-free, and there was such a great range of cottages! All properties look gorgeous, and I’d love to book again with classic cottages.

We stayed for the weekend. It was perfect for what we needed it for. Located right by the water and plenty of places close by to eat, drink or just enjoy a walk or sit and take in the views. Locals are friendly too. We would definitely stay again.

Lovely little cosy snug to stay in, right at the centre of the village and stones throw from the harbour.

We stopped at the Pilchard Shed after another company cancelled our booking at the last minute. To be honest we were worried it would be a bit cramped, but when we got there we were blown away. True It is a small space, but it is beautifully and so thoughtfully designed that we had room to store everything and found the bathroom and kitchen more than met our needs. The fixtures and fittings are all of a very high quality. The Pilchard Shed makes for a fabulous getaway for a couple in the stunning fishing village of St Mawes. We can’t recommend it highly enough.
