Blog Details

We are a Visit England Accredited Hotel with rooms situated throughout 4 floors. The hotel has no lift due to the grade 2 listed building status meaning we can't make alterations to install one. We will of course, help with luggage though.

Our food is traditional and cooked using fresh produce of fish, meats, vegetables & dairy sourced from Scilly & Cornwall where possible. Our style is not nouvelle cuisine or a fancy Michelin Star type restaurant.

Our experienced staff offer excellent & attentive service, far beyond the normal expectations for a 2 star rated hotel

Our swimming pool is 8 metres x 4 metres and so neither small, or Olympic size! An unusual extra facility compared to even many other hotels. Its size is governed by available space, and is covered in and heated.

Our rooms are comfortable & furnished to the same standard. All are en suite with either bath, shower or both, and some are compact, hence the special offer lower tariff for these.

The hotel is situated in the centre of Hugh Town, at the quieter side and is ideally positioned for easy access to the harbour for inter island boats to the inhabited islands of Tresco, Bryher, St Agnes & St Martins.

I try to post regular photographs of the islands, and you can see more of the hotel in the photo galleries on the right hand side of the page.

Duck Pond

Sunday 30th December 2012

A walk around the top end of St Mary's on the roads took us past Trenoweth & the very full duck pond. The water running off the land and straight into the pond. I should think there's a waterfall at the end of the stream at Watermill at the moment from the pond's overflow.

Bartholomew's Ledge Breaking Seas

Sunday 30th December 2012

The seas were still breaking on Bartholomew's Ledge today. The wind is still fresh and it made holding my phone still enough to take a photo pretty challenging!

Blustery Garrison

Thursday 27th December 2012

A late lunchtime walk around the Garrison. Blustery with dramatic seas and sky. I had to zoom in on the sea breaking on Bartholomew's Ledge so it's a bit blurred

Sundown Christmas Day on Scilly 2012

The sun has moved on for the day now. Here's the Strand late afternoon as the sun dips over the sea's horizon. After an enjoyable family day it reinforces the importance of family and all getting together. I hope you all have enjoyed your day out there, I know I have. And we spare some time to remember friends, family & guests who are sadly no longer with us. All the best, Daniel.

The weather has been kind for people travelling on Christmas Eve after bad weather cancelling flights on Saturday. 175 people being flown by Skybus from Newquay. So hopefully everyone should be where they need to be for Christmas Day tomorrow.

I managed to escape from the hotel in the afternoon to visit building supplies down Porthmellon and so took this overcast shot across the beach towards Newford Island

St Agnes & Gugh

Saturday 8th December 2012

Not having had a chance all week to get out photo taking, I have permission from John Peacock of St Agnes Boating (http://www.stagnesboating.co.uk/) to post a photograph he has taken this morning of the bar between St Agnes & Gugh. A lovely picture, and good to see a different view from St Mary's pictures for a change.
