“An elegant and contemporary Hugh Town hotel, just minutes from the harbour. Stylish and comfortable rooms with spectacular views and chic interiors. Enjoy fine dining in the revamped restaurant bar or alfresco on the front lawn. A fantastic find.”

Hotel review

This newcomer to Hugh Town, the Scillies' pretty and gentle hub is a fine 19th Century mansion with original staircase and panelling. Well equipped guest rooms, including three large suites with kitchenettes (perfect for families) and a restaurant/bar, Spirit, for good food and a laid-back atmosphere.
