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.

Dear Sirs

We have just returned home from a weekend in the Scillys and we stayed with you.

I just wanted to write to you all to thank you for our wonderful stay. The hotel was spotlessly clean, the food was wondeful and we thoroughly enjoyed true Scilly hospitality.

We have stayed at 'The Ritz' and The Bell Rock Hotel is far superior!

We will no doubt be returning!

Many thanks to everyone again.

Best wishes

Luke and Susanne Furse

Guest Review Extracted From TripAdvisor

“We thorughly enjoyed out stay and will be back!”

Reviewed 5 August 2011

We were warmly welcomed to the Bell Rock and shown to our very comfortable rooms. They were very comfortable, bright and inviting. Meals were excellent with a good choice at both breakfast and dinner. Every member of staff we met was friendly, cheerful and really knew their jobs.

The Bell Rock is so well placed between the two beaches and an easy stroll to the shops & boats. A boatman comes to discuss trips for the day - he really did "do" excellent trips tailored to his passengers.

We are looking forward to next year when we will be back! Thank you everyone.

Stayed August 2011, travelled with friends

An overcast sort of day with sunny spells. Still warm though!

The burial chamber at Porth Hellick, and it's information sign (hope the words are big enough to see when the picture is clicked onto!?)

I spotted a large fungus growing on the side of a tree this afternoon on the roadside to the Old Town Churchyard

Tuesday 2nd August 2011

A walk around Peninnis! A little cloudy, but still very bright... a little over exposed unfortunately, but I wanted to focus more on the foreground, so the sky lost out this time:



There are loads of these rock stacks on Carn Leh at the moment!

What a scorcher! It was blazing sunshine on my walk around the east coast of St Mary's but luckily there was a breeze to take the edge off the sun, but out of the breeze it was intensly hot!
