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.

Old Town Bay

An evening stroll around Old Town bay and Peninnis. A calm and peaceful evening. The sea reflects Carn Lea.

Cromwell's Castle

These were taken on the 3rd July. Cromwell's Castle on Tresco north west side. Also the sparkling sea at Bryher & the stunning sky looking north. There were planes flying high that afternoon with no vapour contrails! A rare phenomenon. If you're very observant there's a plane in the sky picture!

Bryher

Sunday 29th May 2016

Here's a few photos I took on a day out to Bryher. The weather and sea were idyllic and too good to miss. It's the first time this year I've managed to get to the off islands. Hopefully many more trips to come yet!

Old Town Bay

Bank Holiday Monday 2nd May 2013

The sun is hot. The breeze is cool. If you can tuck away from the breeze, you're going to feel the heat! My face was glowing in the evening after being out for only two hours.

Afternoon Sun

Tuesday 26th April 2016

Whilst various places on the mainland appear to be getting snow showers, here on Scilly we had sun mostly. However for Scilly temperatures it's currently uncharacteristicly cold at a just bearable 7 degrees. 
Still, for the walking, it's ideal temperature not to get too hot or cold for that matter!

Here's the view from the road turn off to the golf club, looking across to the harbour on St Mary's. Unfortunately it's straight into the sun so not great. I decided to also tweak a picture for a moody shot as well.

What a beautiful spring day! We can really feel the heat of the sun on our faces. 

The spring tides giving bigger variation between high & low water.
