The Gingerbread House
A little Cornish hideaway, full of character.
Once the village bakery, The Gingerbread House is a charming Grade II listed cottage tucked away in the heart of St Mawes, just a couple of minutes' stroll from the harbour, beaches and village life.
Full of original features and lived-in charm, it's a place for slow mornings, salty swims, long lunches and evenings curled up by the fire. With beautiful views across the water from the property, the sea is never far from sight.
Inside the house
The cottage sleeps four across two bedrooms. The main bedroom has a king-size bed and lovely sea views, while the second bedroom has two single beds, one of which can be extended into a double. There's also space for a travel cot, making the house well suited to families with little ones.
The bathroom features a shower, double sinks, drawer storage & a beautiful freestanding roll-top bath, perfect for a long soak after a day spent exploring.
Downstairs
Downstairs, the cosy living room has a wood-burning stove for cooler evenings, while the kitchen and dining area offer everything needed for relaxed meals at home, whether it’s breakfast before a day on the beach or supper after a long coastal walk. At the heart of the kitchen is a traditional Aga, adding warmth and character to the space, alongside all the modern essentials, including a dishwasher and fridge.
Outside
Outside, a charming patio shared with our lovely neighbours provides a spot for al fresco dining, with an outdoor table where you can enjoy long, leisurely lunches, take in the views and watch the world go by. There’s also a handy downstairs cellar with a washing machine, tumble dryer, additional toilet and sink, along with plenty of space to store buggies, beach equipment and all the other bits and pieces that come with a seaside holiday.
