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.

Tresco

Sunday 9th June 2013

A short boat trip at low tide takes you across to Carn Near. So called due to it being the closest point to St Mary's. From here you're about 10 minutes or so walk to the Tresco Gardens.  We were hungry and as we'd gone on the 12.15 boat we headed instead up the west side of the island to New Grimsby for lunch at the New Inn, taking in the views along the way across Tresco Channel. 
After lunch we headed north up to see the 2 castles on the west coast. Cromwell's Castle & King Charles Castle.
