I set up the brewery in 2001 after 26 years of teaching had driven me to drink!
I make traditional English real ales using where possible local (to the S.W.) ingredients. No chemicals are added and the beer is considered to be a local health drink. The more you have, the better you feel.

During the summer months I produce “Natural Beauty� (a light quaffing ale, very popular on the off islands and at lunch time on St. Mary's) and “Scuppered� a darker malty dangerously drinkable beer with a strong local following.

In the winter I also produce “Whipped and Laid� a dark, stout and “Three Sheets� another dangerously drinkable beer. I also produced a lager type beer called “A.S.B.O.� which was very popular. (It was suggested that a hoodie be offered with every 5 pints bought!)

The beers are available in all good pubs on the island and can sometimes be found at beer festivals all over the country.

Following the severe gales in the winter of 1962, Nornour (Eastern Isles) yielded up some remarkable Romano-British finds, causing some St Mary's residents to establish a local museum. Initially the only viable option was a temporary display in the Wesleyan Chapel during the summer months. After much fundraising and thanks to huge volunteer enthusiasm, the present Museum was built. It opened to the public on July 15th 1967 and received a visit from H.M. Queen Elizabeth II on August 8th 1967.

Our collections are extremely diverse, including material from many wrecks; a wild flower display (during the summer months); Romano-British artefacts; stuffed birds; local art and much more. Thanks to the generosity of local and mainland benefactors, we have received many varied accessions for research and display purposes. We welcome any items of Scillonian provenance or directly relating to the islands.

In the main section, we stock items such as Kellogs cereals, Nescafe coffee, Mcvities biscuits, Walkers crisps and snacks, Heinz beans and tinned goods, bread, fresh and long life milk, sugar and many more essential items. However, along side these, we also have a large selection of pastas and pasta sauces, rice (including arborio and sushi), sauces and pastes for the ideal curry or chinese meal, plus all the little extras, even fortune cookies and chop sticks! We also sell a good range of beers, wines and different spirits.

St. Martin's Vineyard has a mild climate, enjoying a favourable position as the most southerly in the UK.
The unique flavour of this wine is influenced by the black granite soil, the pure sea air and above average annual hours of sunshine. This combination ensures the full ripening of the grape varieties selected for the location.
This wine has a light, fresh and delicately fruity flavour. Served lightly chilled, it is a good accompaniment to seafood and light meals, or on its own as an aperitif.
Wine is available for purchase
in the winery.

Our landlord, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, gave permission for St. Martin's on the Isle to be built in 1987 and the hotel was subsequently opened in May 1989.
As you can imagine, building on such an environmentally sensorial island surrounded by a marine park required a great deal of sensitivity both in the choice of location and the choice of materials. The resulting hotel, nestling into the hillside and built to resemble a cluster of granite cottages, has received much acclaim and is now accepted as a part of the landscape.
The hotel, the only one on the island of St. Martin's, faces west overlooking mature gardens, it's own quay, white sandy beaches and clear blue sea, with uninhabited islands as a backdrop framed by magnificent sunsets in the evening.

Rooms within the castle have been elegantly refurbished whilst retaining the character of the original rooms.

There is a choice of accommodation at the hotel. Star Castle was built in 1593 during the reign of Queen Elizabeth, for the defence of the Isles of Scilly. It stands on the fortified Garrison Hill to the west of Hugh Town, St Mary's, and commands magnificent views of the sea and isles in every direction. The Castle has been the scene of many historic occasions. The Dining room was the original officer's messroom. It belongs 'to the age of Drake and the sea-dogs.

Garden rooms and suites are adjacent to the castle in the grounds. Some guest rooms and suites have sea or harbour views.

Dining at the Castle is a delight. Guests have the choice of two award-winning restaurants featuring fresh locally caught sea food, local produce and vegetables from our own kitchen garden. Open during the summer months and adorned by a magnificent vine, the Conservatory restaurant is light and airy. It has the same convivial atmosphere as the Castle restaurant, but specialises in seafood and offers a delightfully alternative dining experience.
