For teams seeking a setting that inspires focus, creativity and connection, The Idle Rocks offers a refined coastal base for business meetings and corporate entertaining. Just across the harbour, our sister property, the St Mawes Hotel, provides 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. Six adaptable layouts (view these here), including theatre, boardroom, reception and banqueting, allow the room to accommodate 20 to 60 guests depending on your format.
It’s a space that supports clarity and collaboration, with the added benefit of fresh coastal air just steps away.
The Hidden Cinema
A unique twist for presentations and evening events
Adjoining the Courtyard Room, the Hidden Cinema offers a distinctive setting for presentations, screenings, keynote sessions or adding a memorable creative element to your event. Together, the two spaces create a versatile environment for both day and evening use, perfect for teams looking to elevate their meeting experience.
