Octopus House was a great base to explore St Mawes and the surrounding areas. We travelled as a group with two small children, the house was well equipped and had all essentials needed for a week away from home. The house was larger in real life and worked well for families sharing. The living area was a great sociable space and the bedrooms were decorated to high standard. We would highly recommended Octopus House. ...

If anything you have undersold the property. Superb house and very well equipped. The hill to the house is a challenge but we accepted it as part of the fun and its only 5 minutes - you can drive around if you can be bothered to - we usually didn't.
Mrs Tyler June 2024
Wow, wow, wow!! We had such a relaxing week staying in this airy and spacious home, that had everything you needed and more. It literally is so close to the centre of St Mawes, about 5 mins but a little longer coming back up the steep hill. Check out the bakery/cafe on the pier and the deli/cafe in the Arcade. Would we stay here again, definitely! ...
