What Andy and Harriet Moreton doesn't like about The Idle Rocks:
The turndown service never showed up. There were kids partying on the beach late into the night. The bar service was friendly but not very helpful. Overall, not worth the expense. Perhaps if you are staying in St Mawes, this is the kind of experience you are looking for. From, another fellow oversized Volvo driver. View all feedback. What User likes about The Idle Rocks:
I can't blame idle rocks. excellent management, fantastic eating and the most beautiful staff. it is rare to find a restaurant of this high standard where the staff is so friendly! if they are happy enough to go on a sunny evening and in the position to dinate alfresco, then the view over the water everywhere on the world is unmatched. they are constantly improving and are just a great team.

Idle Rocks in St Mawes offers a unique blend of breathtaking views and exceptional service that makes every visit memorable. Guests rave about the high-quality dining experience, complemented by friendly and attentive staff, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. While the restaurant boasts a luxurious setting, it has faced some criticism regarding its dog policy, turning away loyal customers who enjoyed alfresco dining with their pets in previous years. Despite minor drawbacks, many find the restaurant an ideal choice for special occasions where the exquisite food and ambiance justify the expense.
