Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
Great location and well equipped flat. Would definitely recommend a stay there.

"Fab location, clean and welcoming and perfect for my first solo holiday age 51!"
! only comments would be I couldn't locate the black bin so left the rubbish bag on doorstep when I left on Fri and salt and pepper in the kitchen would be useful!!!
All in all 10/10 and will definitely be back :)

"Stones Throw was very clean and well equipped."
Fine for a couple or a family with two small children. Not much storage so we used the second bedroom to hang our clothes. The back of the flat gets no direct sunlight so the kitchen and second bedroom are dark. There is also a noticeable musty, damp smell when you enter. We used the allocated parking for our Honda Jazz without problem. There is a large, busy car park immediately in front of the flat so there is very little privacy. There is no area to sit outside.
Stones Throw is very convenient for the shops, restaurants and pubs in St Mawes. Also great access to the bus and ferries. The owner, Paula is friendly and helpful. I managed to lock us out of the flat on our first Sunday and she rescued us in about 10 minutes!

"The owners/property managers have gone to a great deal of trouble to have everything just so."
Almost everything that anyone would need is there. The flat is comfortable, and very close to the sea, with the ferries to Falmouth, and also the shops. the Tourist Information Centre is opposite 'Stones Throw' on the other side of the car park which is nearby. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay there. (My 4th)

"Everything was perfect apart from the damp in the property - we were lucky we had good weather but had this not been the case it would have been very uncomfortable."
None of our towels dried overnight which would normally be the case in the height of summer and you could feel the damp in the air, we were grateful we had a heater we could turn on in the evenings. Great location, cleanliness etc but damp not good,

"It's an excellent property, a ground floor apartment."
Well set out, Clean, tidy, plenty of information for visitors, not only in respect of where things can be located within the apartment, but also facilities in the local area. It has bedrooms, and would be suitable for families.

The house had everything we needed, was a minutes walk away from the seafront and pubs/shops. We will 100% be staying again when we come back next February.

"The holiday property; a 2-Bed S/c flat was warm and inviting from the first moment I entered it."
There was a 'Holiday Users Guide' on the table in the sitting room, and other information regarding facilities in the area were placed on a coffee table. I'd already booked for a further stay in 'Stones Throw' before I arrived for my recent holiday there. An act of fatih? Maybe, but I was very pleased that I had done so. Whilst there I actually booked a further week's stay at the end of June. This underscores how much I enjoyed staying there.

"Stones Throw had everything you need for a week away and many unexpected extras were provided, I would book again and recommend it to anyone."
St Mawes is beautiful with a fantastic beach and great swimming, and the pubs and restaurants are fabulous.

"We took with us the usual assortment of 'just in case items' but we could have saved ourselves a lot of packing because the owner has thought of everything and some more besides: the Sweet Williams were a lovely touch as well."
The flat is very well appointed, comfortable and in a great position to access the many amenities St Mawes has to offer on foot. Cornish fishing villages were not meant for motor vehicles so parking is always at a premium. Stones Throw does have parking so long as you have a smallish car. Actually parking is a test of skill, clutch and engine and no surprise that the route is not given in the description as it wouldn't be easy to do. For those with a bigger car or more faint hearted drivers there is a large public car park on the doorstep, currently £32 for a week. In conclusion we would highly recommend St Mawes and Stones Throw.

"The small bedroom was damp."
Other than that cottage was very nice
Thank you for your feedback. We were surprised that you felt the small bedroom was damp, as this has not been mentioned in any previous feedback. The owner has confirmed that the small bedroom isn't damp, it is condensation, which occurs if the property isn't ventilated (windows opened or left on a catch) Apart from this we are glad that you enjoyed your stay at the cottage.

"The apartment had absolutely everything that you needed to ensure that your stay was relaxing and comforting."
Having two children under three the lounge space was perfect for them both the play in the early mornings. The location is fairly peaceful, just hearing the odd bus, which we didnt mind as it was exceptionally close to the beach, village front and pubs, which meant little legs could walk it happily. Defintely a gem of a find and will be booking to go back.

"Excellent holiday apartment, clean, bright and fully equipped, they have thought of everything."
We struggled a bit with the night storage heaters (instructions would have been helpful) but supplementary heating was available. Private parking is at a premium in St Mawes so it was great that this apartment had a private space right outside, albeit small and awkward - a Chelsea tractor wouldn't stand a chance. Having said that the Council car park is adjacent and charges not unreasonable (think it was £30 per week).
The apartment is very central, once parked there is no need for a car as everything is within strolling distance. The bus to Truro starts from the Council car park. We recommend taking the bus to St Just where there is a beautiful church and gardens (and tea shop) and walking the coastal path back. Perefct. Lamorran Gardens are well worth a visit too.

"Lovely, well equipped apartment."
Second bedroom is quite small. Parking space, although mentioned, isn’t easy to find. Better directions to that would be helpful. Our car was ok but may be too small for a larger car. Lovely position in the heart of St Mawes, easy access to shops, pubs and the beach. Would definitely look to rebook.

"Our second stay at Stones Throw."
Ideal for a couple or small family. Very clean and well equipped for a self catering holiday. Location at St Mawes is great with a 2 minute walk to harbour for shops,bakery, pubs and restaurants. St Mawes is a beautiful place to stay and the Roseland area is great for walking with lovely beaches. Great service from Sykes Cottages with plenty of communication. A lovely holiday!

"Great accomodation."
Comfortable and clean. The only confusion is I thought I booked directly through Sykes cottages, but received confirmation of the booking via booking.com. They said if I had any enquiries then send an email to the link, which I did, but no response. I called Sykes in the end as didn't know how to access the property. The staff member was very helpful, however I just think it needs to be clearer on the website who you are booking with.

"A great little base for exploring the area."
All mod cons. Reasonable-sized fridge, which helped with our on-line food order which we booked for the evening of our arrival (although delivery driver had to call to find us!). Very friendly and helpful owners.
The twin (bunk bed) room was a bit small for 2 teenage boys, but they slept well enough. The only real concern we had was that we couldn't leave the window open in that room at nights because it seemed too easy for someone to lean in and open the door.

Where you’ll be staying
ST MAWES
Falmouth 16 miles via car ferry, 3 miles via passenger ferry; Truro 10.5 miles via car ferry, 18 miles by road.
St Mawes is a small fishing village situated on the Roseland Peninsula, part of Cornwall’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is surrounded by rocky coves, sandy beaches and lush countryside and has a notable historic castle guarding the entrance to the River Fal. The village is a haven for boating and yachting with many events and functions taking place and of course the local produce is outstanding, with local pubs and restaurants serving delicious seafood dishes throughout the year. Nearby there are plenty of activities to keep the whole family busy including walks, watersports and boat trips. Across from the harbour is the town of Falmouth, with its magnificent natural harbour (the third largest in the world), winding streets and beaches, the amenities will keep you occupied for hours. The town's old harbour-side pubs, excellent shopping, art gallery and stunning National Maritime Museum simply complete the picture. Pendennis Castle, built by Henry VIII, is Falmouth's most popular attraction, sited on its own peninsula with superb panoramic sea views.
