New Year On The Rocks

Thursday 31st December – Saturday 2nd January
A two-night New Year escape of exceptional dining, harbour-side celebrations and relaxed coastal luxury.
See out the year and welcome 2027 from the water’s edge in St Mawes. Our New Year package combines outstanding food, festive gatherings and the warm hospitality The Idle Rocks is known for, all set against the beauty of the Cornish coast in winter.
31 December – New Year’s Eve

Arrive on New Year’s Eve and settle in with a glass of Champagne and a leisurely Afternoon Tea before the celebrations begin.
As darkness falls, The Idle Rocks transforms for our annual New Year’s Eve House Party. This year, we’re taking inspiration from the glamour and energy of Studio 54, bringing a touch of disco-era decadence to the Cornish coast.
Begin with a Champagne reception and canapés before taking your seat for a spectacular five-course dinner, featuring classic 1970s favourites reimagined by our chefs. Expect retro cocktails, playful touches, great music and an atmosphere that builds effortlessly towards midnight.

 

When the clock strikes twelve, gather on the harbour front to raise a glass to the year ahead before continuing the celebrations into the early hours.

 

1 January — New Year’s Day

After a leisurely breakfast and Bloody Mary, start the year at your own pace.

Spend the day exploring the coastal paths, browsing the galleries and shops of St Mawes, or simply relaxing by the fire with a book and sea views. For those looking to linger a little longer over lunch, our relaxed New Year’s Day dining experience offers the perfect way to ease into 2027.

As evening falls, choose between a seasonal à la carte dinner at The Idle Rocks or the lively atmosphere of pizza and quiz night at St Mawes Hotel. Alternatively, simply unwind and enjoy the peaceful rhythm of the village in winter.

All dining beyond breakfast is optional, allowing guests to curate their perfect New Year’s Day, whether comforting, sociable or quietly restorative.

 

Christmas In St Mawes

 

2 January — Departure

Wake to a final Cornish breakfast before a relaxed departure, feeling refreshed and ready for the year ahead.
Optional Early Arrival — 30 December

Why not extend the experience and arrive on 30 December? Guests booking an additional night benefit from a preferential bed and breakfast rate, giving you more time to settle into coastal life before the festivities begin.

For those who’d like to dine, you can choose your evening meal from two relaxed options, both entirely optional and simply added to your room bill:

À la carte dinner at The Idle Rocks: showcasing seasonal dishes in a calm, coastal setting

Dinner at St Mawes Hotel: offering a more informal, cosy atmosphere across the harbour

Arrive early, settle in, and shape the evening exactly as you wish — with dining choices designed to suit every mood.

 

Celebrate the arrival of 2027 with a stylish coastal escape in St Mawes. From Champagne and exceptional dining to our Studio 54-inspired New Year’s Eve party, enjoy two nights of relaxed luxury, festive glamour and unforgettable harbour-side celebrations.
