Spinnaker

Spinnaker occupies the upper floor of a building in St Mawes, positioned where the village's amenities and car parks sit on your doorstep. The open-plan living space flows from kitchen through dining area to a sitting room, with French doors leading onto a Juliet balcony that catches views across the harbour toward Place and the Lizard Peninsula. One double bedroom has an en-suite shower room; the second is a single. A family bathroom with bath and shower serves both. Essentials like heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are included, and the kitchen is equipped for cooking rather than surviving on takeaways.

The waterfront lies moments away—foot ferries to Falmouth and Truro depart from barely 100 yards down the hill, while three beaches are within a five-minute walk. St Mawes itself is a working fishing village rather than a theme park version of one, with the castle, restaurants and village shops all nearby. The apartment suits couples and families after a short coastal break without the effort of driving to attractions; everything from swimming to watching boats happens on foot. No smoking indoors.
