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.

Guest Review Extracted From TripAdvisor

“A little bit of Heaven on earth”

Reviewed 3 July 2011

If you want somewhere to totally relax and unwind and be totally looked after as well then look no further. The Bell Rock Hotel is top of the list for comfort, food and service of a really high standard. Nothing was too much for any of the staff! The food was superb, the accomodation as clean as a new pin (you could see your face in the brass) and the staff extremely friendly. Even the stairs were a joy to walk up for the view you knew would be waiting for you. Thank you Daniel and all the staff for a truly memorable wedding anniversary, the cake was gorgeous. I truly hope to return somwetime soon but, if I nevfer ever set foot on St Mary's again I will always remember 'The loo with a view!'

Room Tip: Room 18 has beautiful views overlooking Tresco.

Stayed June 2011, travelled with family

The Cruise Ship Minerva was visiting the islands:


St Martins was scorching hot all day, with clear blue skies and warm sea as the tide came back in after lunch over the hot sands of St Martins sand flats.




I also tried a panoramic photo using my mobile, but it was hard to match up the frames as the sun was so bright, I could hardly see the phone's screen:

The weather was glorious all day, and the evening was no exeption. I walked down to Old Town to play in a charity gig at the inn, carrying a fleece for the walk home at the end of the night, but still didn't need to put it on at gone 11.30pm it was so warm.

Hello June, Chris , Daniel and all the staff

I must just write a few words to a big thank you to all of you for making my stay enjoyable and relaxing as ever. You manage to make everyone feel special and it is such friendly and warm place to stay. Also to Alison for allowing me to have a portion both of the ginger and syrup puddings (they were great) I now on a diet.

Already looking forward to next year.

Once again many thanks

1st July 2011 - About Time For Some Photos!!

Well, it's now July 1st (Exactly Mid Season)... and the nights are now drawing in. What?! More like summer is well & truly here!!! The sun has been beaming down strong, giving us glorious settled weather with beautiful blue skies; Oh Yes, this is Scilly!! :)
Apologies for the lack of Scilly photos of late. It's been a tad busy this last month, but I took one of the St Agnes Lighthouse on my day off on Sunday 26th June:


...And I couldn't resist popping over the road this morning from the Hotel to take a couple of pictures of the harbour: Friday 1st July 2012:



Beautiful! We can cope with this for another couple of months I reckon!
