A new chapter in informal luxury hospitality is coming to St Mawes. This exciting new hotel will bring 56 beautifully designed bedrooms, a vibrant café, and a relaxing spa experience to one of Cornwall’s most sought-after coastal destinations.
We’re looking for an Operations Manager to join the team and help us create the kind of guest experience people genuinely remember.
This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who loves being at the heart of hotel life — visible, hands-on and working alongside the team to make sure every part of the guest journey feels effortless.
You’ll have responsibility for all guest facing areas of the hotel, and in the General Manager’s absence you’ll also oversee the Spa experience, ensuring standards, service and the overall guest journey remain seamless across the hotel.
We’re looking for someone who understands how important those first welcomes, memorable meals, thoughtful touches and smooth departures are in shaping a guest’s stay.
You’ll work closely with our General Manager to lead and develop the team, drive standards and make sure the hotel runs beautifully day to day.
What you will be doing

- Oversee the Reception operation, ensuring arrivals, departures and guest enquiries are handled efficiently and professionally.
- Take operational responsibility for the Restaurant, Bar and other Food & Beverage outlets.
