Good Hotel Guide Review
A luxurious yet laidback retreat with a private jetty for the ferry from St Mary's, this long and low stone-built hotel overlooks the white sands of St Martin’s, with views across the waters to Tresco. It is the only hotel on the island, and dogs and children are welcomed. Classic British meets contemporary style in the bedrooms with vintage-style furnishings, books and freshly ground Cornish coffee; large windows offer restful sea views. Watch the fishermen bring in their catch of the day, then tuck into the freshest of fish, lobster and crab in the restaurant or outside, in the sub-tropical garden. Hire a day boat or snorkel with seals; soothing spa treatments also available.
