Good Friday 29th March 2013
A blustery breezy day in anticipation of a busy weekend. The spring tides making boating a little bit more interesting. This photo was taken by a local lad, Luke Thompson. The Scillonian III alongside the end of the new quay at high tide this afternoon 5.30pm. The tide is that high she looks like she's on top of the Old Quay!
Bell Rock Hotel, Church Street, St Mary's, Isles of Scilly, TR21 0JT. Telephone 01720 422575.
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.
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.

Snow?! No, Not Here! We've Got Sun!
Friday 22nd March 2013
Well, the rest of the country seems to be having strange weather, floods and snow! Not here, we've got sunshine! ...OK, first thing was heavy rain, but that soon cleared by 9am to a glorious day.
I took a stomp around the Garrison this afternoon. I didn't have long to spare so a short walk is better than none when the weather is so good. No coat required again this afternoon.

Scilly Spring Flowers
Wednesday 20th March 2013
The weather really is stunning today. I took a long walk ...the longest walk I've taken for some time. My legs are not used to it!! I will need to get back into regular walks again I think!
There's plenty of Scilly spring flowers out, and unpicked in fields they are in bloom. The gorse is also bright with their yellow flowers.

Morning Sunshine!
Wednesday 20th March 2013
I had to pop out for a few bits at the chandlery this morning (I've a couple of screws loose that needed replacing!) the morning sunshine is beautiful here on Scilly! The chandlery is a great vantage point for a couple of photos

Walking Around Peninnis
Thursday 14th March 2013
It's been a while but now we're open fully, I can get out a little between split shifts to enjoy the beautiful walks and Scilly views. I really enjoyed walking around Peninnis and down into Old Town in the warm sunshine; I didn't take a coat. Amazing to think we'd had snow flurries 2 days previously!
