Prime location and of course the wonderful views.
Excellent choice and service. They set up a table on the landing near our room so that we didn’t have to leave our dog who suffers from separation anxiety.
Rooms are lovely restaurants are very good, location has great views, but a bit of a climb up from the town
Excellent food, very helpful friendly staff
Made our stay on the Scilly Isles complete.
Totally stunning place to stay. Packed with oodles of history, it is a fascinating place to stay. All of the staff without exception went the extra mile; from Spider who collected us and dropped us off at the airport, to Kial & Sarah who kept us informed beforehand and throughout our stay (recommending Rafe who helped us explore the islands) and to Ollie & Alex in the bar and the host of amazing waiting staff. The food was top notch.
