For teams seeking a setting that inspires focus, creativity and connection, The St Mawes Hotel offers a refined coastal base for business meetings and corporate entertaining, with two exceptional spaces designed for productive daytime sessions and atmospheric evening events.
The Courtyard Room
Flexible, private and designed for productive work
The Courtyard Room is a beautifully appointed meeting and event space with its own secluded outdoor courtyard, ideal for strategy days, workshops, networking events and private corporate entertaining.
