The boutique Idle Rocks hotel, a member of Relais & Châteaux, boasts a prime waterfront position in Cornwall's idyllic St Mawes, a remote fishing village on the Roseland Peninsula, long beloved by celebrities, Prime Ministers and the British Royal Family. St. Mawes was a particular favourite of the late Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother and Princess Margaret, who would arrive on board Royal Yacht Britannia.
