Guests say
Whitestones in St Mawes offers a pleasant stay with its light, well-arranged living spaces and a convenient patio. The property is praised for its cleanliness, well-equipped kitchen, and comfortable beds, although some guests noted dated lounge furniture and uncomfortable beds in certain rooms. The location is excellent, close to the harbour and amenities, despite a steep hill. Guests experienced some issues with maintenance and access, but overall, the house is well-regarded for its amenities and comfort.
Guests consistently noted that Whitestones was very clean, with no negative comments on cleanliness, indicating high standards of hygiene and upkeep.
The property's location is highly praised for its proximity to St Mawes centre and the harbour, although the steep hill may be a consideration for some visitors.
While many guests found the beds comfortable and the house well-equipped, there were remarks about some beds being uncomfortable and a problematic radiator, suggesting room for improvement in this area.
The property is appreciated for its well-equipped kitchen and ample hot water. However, issues with a known radiator problem and access to the BBQ due to a locked garage indicate some concerns with facilities and maintenance.
There are no mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the owners, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

All the beds were very uncomfortable and of very poor quality or very oldThe radiator in the main bedroom didn’t work - and this was mentioned in the house book - with a suggested workaround to turn off and on other radiators This is clearly a known problem and should be properly fixed

Whitestones is a great house at the top of the hill in St MawesThe living spaces were light and well arranged although the lounge furniture was a little datedThe bedrooms and bathrooms were all good - plenty of hot water when needed.The patio worked well off the kitchen. Not really any other outside space but that suited us
