It was a nice sunny day so I took my mum for a coffee and my little sisters for a hot chocolate on the outdoor terrace of the Idle Rocks Hotel in St Mawes - just across the estuary from Falmouth (Passenger ferry £4.50 return).
The big outdoor terrace is great for sitting on a sunny day and looks out over the bustling fishing harbour where little ferries transport passengers to and from Falmouth and fisherman go about their business. We had 2 x fresh filter coffee (£2.95 each), 3 x hot chocolates (£2.50) which were served with chocolate flakes on top which my little sisters loved!! Our drinks came with a plate of homemade shortbread biscuits which were still warm out of the oven...yummy!
For lunch, the Idle Rocks Hotel offers some local flavours including homemade black pudding with home cured bacon and hen’s eggs, open crab sandwich served with lemon mayonnaise, and a selection of Cornish & Somerset cheese with homemade chutney and biscuits. Unfortunately, it was pretty early and we had just had breakfast so we didn’t stick around for lunch but going on the very tasty biscuits, we will definitely be back!!

I've enjoyed a drink in the sun in that spot before, on a bank holiday. If the weather is good tomorrow, I think I will have to go back!
