Good location and good food. Lovely room. Welcome a bit so and so. Kitchen staff more welcoming than the reception staff who, to be fair, were also manning the bar (although the bar wasn't overly busy when we arrived).

Lovely few days at the Rising Sun. Room excellent, food good. Our only complaint was a very loud noise which woke us at around 6.45 am, think it came from the kitchen area.

Lovely one nighter get away!

We thoroughly enjoyed our one night stay at The Rising Sun in lovely St. Mawes. The food was excellent, we had Sunday roast lunch, starters plus breakfast the next day - all delicious. Our room was extremely comfortable with a huge bed and good ensuite shower room. Liked the coffee machine and large flat screen TV. Will hopefully stay again in the future.

Poor cleanliness

On arrival no body on reception, had to find someone to help us from the bar! The gentleman was polite and showed us our room, The room was a awful curtains hanging off , dust everywhere it was as though it wasn’t cleaned in months. When i checked my bedding it was to my shock dirty! Dirt marks and hairs found ! I went down and spoke with the manager who apologised and arranged for the whole bedding to be changed. His explanation was that they were short staff! But that was all. We were there 3 nights nobody came to clean the room. Awful experience, i have to say the staff were very friendly and breakfast was nice .

Helpful staff although it was very obvious they were struggling as they were understaffed. Despite this they were helpful and friendly and provided good service. The rooms were comfortable although the bed was very creaky each time you moved and the bathroom could do so the an update.
