    Perfect location for overnight stay ahead of taking the Scillonian ferry to Scilly Isles. We stayed last year and were so happy we repeated the experience without being disappointed in any way. Staff and management only too pleased to help. We did not have dinner here this time but breakfast the next morning was perfect. We plan to return next year !! Nothing to dislike

    All staff were very friendly knowledgable and helpful. A special mention for waitress Chloe who was bubbly and helpful , Joe the manager who went above and beyond to help us embark the boat to Scilly and Claire the helpful cleaner

    There are only 3 rooms. Very quiet. The room was very clean and the bathroom was newly remodeled. Paris, the host was excellent. Greeted us warmly and showed us to our room. The breakfast was made to order and excellent. We also had our evening meal and it was very good. They stored our luggage safely during the day. It is 50m from the Jubilee Pool. Nothing

    Loved this historical place! Our room & bath were large & updated. Located just feet from the ocean, the view from our window was lovely. Best of all was the food & decor in the pup! Parking was a bit of a challenge.

    The staff were so friendly and the room was amazing, really clean and bright and so quiet. The food was delicious and served on hot plates! The location was perfect for the Scillonian to and from The Isles of Scilly. There wasn’t anything that wasn’t good about this property.
