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.

Sunday 10th April 2011

Well the emphasis was on the "Sun" for "Sunday"... well at least until around 3pm in any case! The day started off like a summer's day with clear blue skies and glorious sunshine. We headed off to the beach for a picnic lunch which was very peaceful and warm... then unfortunately, the fog rolled in!!

No, You're Not Having My Lunch!

...Then Here Comes The Fog Rolling In Fast Over The Garrison:

Subject: Just to say.......................................thank you


Good afternoon,

Just to say ...................... thank you for making our stay with you memorable following the cancellation of our helicopter flight to Penzance.

We appreciate the professional and friendly way you treated us, the welcome you gave us ensuring we were comfortable, and arranging early breakfast enabling us to catch our early flight back to Penzance.

Also many thanks for having medication picked up from the hospital.

Good luck for the season

Kind regards,

Room Photo Update For The Ground Floor Rooms

We have re-decorated the rooms on the ground floor during the winter closure of 2010/11 and replaced the fabrics to revamp the rooms. We have gone for a lighter shade and simpler, more elegant colours for the fabrics.
I have now taken some new photos of these and replaced the old ones in the "Ground Floor - Easy Access Rooms" photo gallery. This can be found on the right side of the page. The rooms are numbers: 22, 23, 25, & 17.




...Photos to follow: The Dining Room. We now have the new tables, but are still awaiting the new chairs, which should hopefully be with us at the end of April. I will post photos of this when we get these in!

Nicola Lawson Art - Acrylics of Scilly

This is basically a blatant free advertisement for my wife's art! She has been busy over the last few months painting ready for the 2011 season. Her art is now being displayed at the Boatshed Restaurant down on Porthmellon.
It's all new and exciting for Nic as she's only been painting for a year, and her work has been improving with each and every painting.
I've set up a blog for her to show off her paintings to the world. Please do check it out and watch her further progress as we update the site ...And don't forget to ask me at the hotel if you are interested in any ;)

I've put a link in my link list also on the right side of the page. Otherwise, copy & paste this into your address bar)

Here are a few samples of Nic's work:
