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.

We recently stayed at the Bell Rock and had a very pleasant stay. The food was all freshly prepared and the choice of homemade sweets were exceptional.The Harbour is short walk from the Hotel were you can get a boat to any of the other islands. If you want a relaxing holiday then the Scilly Isles is the place. We hope to return soon.

Subject: Stay at Bell Rock

Hi Daniel,

We would both like to say we very much enjoyed our stay in the Bell Rock Hotel. We were particularly impressed with the quality of food and the friendliness of all your staff. This made it a very enjoyable stay and very relaxing. Room 2 was good for the views of the sea.

We will definitely return to the Scilly Isles, and you will have to keep us up to date with any deals.


Best Wishes

Thank again,


Paul and Julie Vallance

“Great stay - with all staff focussed on delivering great customer service”

This hotel offered us great value for money and the staff were all kind and friendly. We were particularly impressed by how well they catered for a gluten free diet - making sure there was a choice of sweets each night (as well as main courses and starters!) and often preparing special sauces or offering an individual sweet. They even phoned the ice-cream supplier one night to check that I could eat the local icecream safely. Anyone who has a gluten intolerance will realise how important this was.
The room was clean and well-sized.
The hotel was well located for getting the most out of a trip to St Mary's

A superb hotel with everything thought of. The staff are friendly and efficient. The rooms are very comfortable and decorated and furnished to a very high standard. The meals are always delicious with a different menu each evening, and the desserts are to die for!! After a day on one of the many boats, the pool is a lovely way to relax. The Bell rock is definitely the place to stay when visiting St Marys. Hope to return.

The Scillies are remarkable, romantic and in my view unrepeatable in their beauty anywhere in the world A must to visit, and when you visit stay in the Bell Rock Hotel, for comfortable rooms, excellent service and a first class restaurant, and only a short stroll from the harbour and beautiful beaches Bliss - I will certainly stay again
