HIGH BANK – luxury holiday cottage st mawes, Roseland, Cornwall 

Soak up mesmerising coastal vistas and feel the tension ease from your shoulders as you breathe in the gentle sea breeze from the Fal Estuary. This tranquil retreat is situated in a prime hilltop position, overlooking the aquamarine waters and rolling green fields of The Roseland in St Mawes. Sleeping eight people, this luxury, self-catering holiday home is a true Cornish sanctuary – whether enjoying a few relaxing sundowners on the deck with friends in the summertime or snuggling up by the fireside with family over the winter months. The buzz of city life will feel like a distant memory as you settle into the calm and carefree ambiance of this secluded Cornish haven.

Step Inside

Elegantly furnished, with oak floors and maritime touches throughout, High Bank is a single-level holiday home that enjoys stunning estuary views from its elevated site. In the light-filled, open-plan kitchen and dining area, it’s easy to lose track of time as you watch the yachts and sea birds glide past over a lazy breakfast.

The timeless shaker kitchen is equipped with everything you need to feel at home – from a coffee machine to eco-friendly kitchen essentials. So, make yourself a fresh coffee, grab a newspaper and let yourself melt into the sofa.

Just around the corner from the kitchen lies the welcoming lounge area. The eye is drawn to a central log burner that has a well-stocked log basket alongside from November to March. So, you can warm the cockles with a roaring fire when you return from an invigorating winter walk.

Additional touches like a bookcase full of games and books, a fluffy sheepskin rug, and plump nautical-themed cushions also add to the homely ambiance.

With 2 master bedrooms, one of which is en suite, a pair of twin bedrooms, and a plush family bathroom, High Bank comfortably sleeps eight and promises a blissful night’s sleep under luxuriously crisp linens. Calming grey and white walls are paired with colourful throws and beach-inspired artwork, making this luxury Cornish cottage a delightful place to wake up.

Step Outside

Clad in a soft shade of duck egg blue, High Bank has a charming beach house aesthetic, that perfectly complements its seaside setting.

Whitewashed walls surround the attractively landscaped garden that features a grassy area for acrobatic children or those who love a springy lawn between their toes!

Borders have been planted with exotic vegetation that thrives in the warm climes of The Roseland. Think rustling Cornish palms, pom-pom alliums, vibrant agapanthus, and delicate roses. Not forgetting the aromatic herb garden where cooking enthusiasts can handpick a sprig for their culinary creations.

French doors lead out onto a smart paved terrace and a spacious deck – that fittingly suits the nautical vibe of this home. With a BBQ, comfortable garden furniture, and the option to hire a hot tub for your stay, this private sun trap makes a wonderful place to socialise, entertain or simply unwind, as you take in the sweeping views of St Mawes.
