Your Devon and Cornwall Wedding - Mar/Apr 2020 (Issue24)

THE IDLE ROCKS ST MAWES Recently re-opened in February this year, this Relais & Chàteaux property is located on the harbour of this picturesque, cobbled fishing port against the rugged Cornish coast. It’s home to 19 bedrooms, each one individually designed to complement the surroundings. It’s the ideal setting for a drinks reception or a post-vow wedding celebration in the multiple award-winning restaurant with views across the water. Couples can dine at the chef’s table or outside on the waterside terrace. New head chef Dorian Janmaat heads up the kitchen team, serving dishes that champion the freshest local ingredients and produce. Ceremony licence?
