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.

Buzza - Peninnis - Carn Lea

Friday 22nd June 2012

A shorter walk for Friday just 3.7 miles.

A climb up the hill to Buzza Tower to take in the views across the harbour to Samson & Bryher.

Then onwards down King Edward's Road (dirt track!) to Peninnis. Along the way is the old mill stone.

Left turn at the gate onto Peninnis down takes you into Old Town past Carn Lea. There are many stone cairn stacks along here now as everyone tries their skill at finding and balancing stones of decreasing sizes.
...just be careful of your toes if you give it a try. Feet generally don't take kindly to having rocks dropped on them :(
