...and the reason the buzzer & flashing lights and signs at the end of the runway become apparent!
Bell Rock Hotel, Church Street, St Mary's, Isles of Scilly, TR21 0JT. Telephone 01720 422575.
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.
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.

Do You Have A Favourite View?
If you have a favourite view on St Mary's please feel free to request a photograph. Just email me (Daniel Lawson) at the Bell Rock Hotel: bellrock.hotel@btclick.com (copy & paste the link).
I am often out for walks, so I will do my best to get the picture for you quickly.
Don't forget to say in your email, who you are and where you are from for a photo dedication.
Any requests for off islands might take some time I'm afraid as I don't often get off St Mary's.

Pelistry Beach & Tolls Island
Monday 18th June 2012
The coastal path on the south side of Pelistry is a little overgrown at the moment, but still passable. Just look out for the occasional nettle or hog weed!!
There was a Gannet diving for fish just off Toll's Island.

Coastal Path From Old Town To Giants Castle
Monday 18th June 2012
A new week starts and a change for the better in the weather. Sunday wasn't bad at all to be fair, but I forgot to take any pictures!
The coastal path from Old Town out to Giants Castle takes you past the end of the runway for St Mary's Airport. There are various signs so you can't miss it... And it was safe for me to cross as the buzzer wasn't sounding and the green light was on.
There can't be many places left in the UK where you can cross past the end of a runway! There's a sign telling you not to hang around... I promise I was very quick with the photos when I took them!
