Season: autumn
The creek was a scene of peace and tranquility on this occasion. There wasn’t a breath of wind, the sunshine was warm and bright and the trees were still covered in leaves. The midday sun lit Cellars beach and St Mawes, looking across from Place House. It was a chance to enjoy an Indian summer day.

Place was briefly a hotel, known as Place Manor, but has actually been in the same family for over five hundred years. Based on the site of a monastery that was dissolved in Tudor times by Henry VIII, it has a spectacular setting opposite Cellars beach and St Mawes. You can rent the house to celebrate a special event, or simply to get away from it all in an idyllic setting. There are plenty of enjoyable walks in the area. On this occasion recent storms had given way to bright sunshine.

A tranquil scene at Place.
Place is a great location that generates a lot of interest, as the house is seen and commented on by all visitors to St Mawes and something we are lucky enough to be able to sit and see from our office window on the Quay in St Mawes. From our office window we can also see the steady stream of visitors taking the ferry over to Place each day to go and enjoy the building, gardens and beach.
