About The Rising Sun
The Rising Sun suits anyone after an easy-going Cornish break rather than a formal hotel stay – walkers, sailing types, dog owners and couples who want to be able to roll downstairs to the bar. It sits right in The Square in St Mawes, a fishing village on the Roseland Peninsula, with the harbour and coastline forming the backdrop to much of what's on offer here.
Rooms are en-suite, with some suited to families and others adapted for accessibility, and many take in sea views over the water. Guests get free Wi-Fi, drinks in the room, and the option of a packed lunch for days out. Downstairs there's a restaurant and bar with outdoor seating, breakfast served each morning, and a 24-hour reception should you need anything at odd hours. Laundry service and luggage storage are also available, along with meeting rooms for those combining business with the seaside.
Pets are welcome, and free on-site parking makes it a straightforward base for exploring further afield. Fishing, walking routes, and other pubs, bars and restaurants are all close by, so there's little need for a car once you've arrived. It's a village hotel with a proper local pub at its heart, built around the rhythms of St Mawes rather than around itself.
