Stay on Scilly ... with the official Isles of Scilly Tourism website

Making your holiday truly your own is one of the things that sets the Isles of Scilly apart. Set your own itinerary. Explore at your own pace. Go where you want to go. And whatever sort of accommodation you are looking for, Scilly has something suitable, whether it be two weeks with the family, a romantic break, old friends catching up or group accommodation. There is something for everyone!

There are campsites, B&B's, half board Guest Houses, self catering, and hotels, all of a high standard. You can stay in a castle or a even a threshing mill! Each island has a range of accommodation to ensure that there is something for everyone, and you will certainly be well looked after from the moment you arrive.

Hotels on Scilly: If you're looking for quality hotel accommodation, we have a range of options here on the Isles of Scilly. There are hotels on four of the five inhabited Scilly Isles, and they range from contemporary chic to sixteenth century opulence; you may also be presented with some of the best in local cuisine from our talented and imaginative local chefs. Whether you stay on the waterfront, in a castle or in a contemporary hotel with boutique style standards, rest assured that you will wake up in style and comfort, surrounded by peace and tranquillity. Attention to detail will be everything and your pleasure will be of paramount importance.

Half-board Guest Houses: If you fancy eating a little closer to home for some of your holiday, then why not try half board basis guest house accommodation. You get the same wonderfully warm welcome, special touches, scrumptious breakfasts and cosy characterful rooms as a B&B, with the delightful addition of a hearty homecooked meal in the evening. This means more delicious home cooked food, lots of secret family recipes, and quite often the freshest local

Bed & Breakfast: Stay with welcoming hosts who know and love Scilly and want to share with you the islands' best kept secrets. Awake in a comfy bed, with great views from the window, and the smell of a freshly cooked breakfast rising from downstairs. Bed and Breakfast on Scilly is often described as "being like catching up with old friends." It's no wonder people return year on year, and stay at the same B&B time and time again. Bed and Breakfasts on Scilly are often family-run businesses, with plenty of home comforts and offering great hospitality. There are family- friendly properties and of course those that take the dog too! So come and feel at home- without the washing up!

Self-Catering: There is a variety of self-catering accommodation on Scilly, including picturesque cottages by the beach, chalets, sea front flats, bungalows and family homes. Self catering properties are an ideal 'base' giving you the freedom to come and go as you please. So whether you are looking for a rural romantic hideaway, a centrally located apartment with sea views or a family home-from-home you will find something to suit.

Staying on an Off-Island: there are regular boat services to all the Off-Islands, every day of the week. They can take you to and from St. Mary's, and also offer trips to the other Off-Islands as well as scenic and wildlife excursions. If you are staying on an Off-Island (Bryher, St. Agnes, St. Martin's, Tresco) your local boatmen will be more than happy to ensure your transport from St. Mary's to the Off-Island of your choice. If you are staying on St. Agnes, you can contact St. Agnes boating at www.st-agnes- | boating.com. If you are staying on Bryher or Tresco, you can contact Bryher Boats at www.bryherboats.co.uk .
