Information

Inhabited since the Stone Age, the Isles of Scilly are steeped in history and adventure. A combination of Atlantic extremes and sub tropical havens the archipelago offers a surprisingly diverse choice for discerning travellers. It is also a magnet for sailing enthusiasts, with an incredible variety of conditions, from the challenge of the Atlantic to the tranquillity of the Channel.

The largest island, ST. MARY’S may well be only two and a half miles by one and three quarter miles but it is also home to around seventy five percent of the population. Hugh Town, the ‘capitol of the Isles of Scilly’, stands on a sandbar with a bustling centre, historic port (with it’s famous shipping route to Penzance), fine restaurants, hotels and pubs. In total contrast the rest of St. Mary’s is a virtual tapestry of woodlands, heaths, marshland and dune covered beaches.

There is plenty to tempt sporting enthusiasts too - golf, cycling, horse riding, world-class water sport and sailing facilities including fishing, windsurfing and scuba diving. For the cultured visitor the island offers a rich heritage of architecture, art and crafts. St.Mary’s is also the perfect base from which to explore the rest of the islands.

The island of TRESCO was bought by, wealthy merchant banker, Augustus Smith from the Duchy of Cornwall in the mid 1830s and has remained in ownership of the family ever since. Augustus was an avid plant collector and established the world famous Tresco Abbey Garden, home to countless sub tropical and temperate plant-life from around the world. The small population virtually all work within the holiday industry that has thrived through the development of the gardens offering the chance for visitors to embrace the idyllic coastal and rural areas of Tresco whilst enjoying the very best hospitality available.

BRYHER may be the smallest community of the Isles of Scilly but is arguably the most colourful, the splendour of wildflowers during spring is the stuff of legends. The island is also a resting place for countless migratory birds in autumn and home to the awe-inspiring Atlantic ravaged Hell Bay.

The untouched beauty of ST.AGNES is breathtaking. With its tiny flower farming community the island has managed to maintain an air of tranquillity. Surrounded by stunning hidden coves, white sandy beaches and rock pools leading to crystal clear waters, St. Agnes is a truly magical place.

For those looking for a peaceful holiday ST.MARTINS, the third largest of the Isles of Scilly is ideal. The white sands and clear waters of the coastline are but the icing on the cake for an area of virtually unspoilt beauty. Whatever the time of year St. Martins offers the very best of nature’s wonders. From fishing and snorkelling to coastal walks and stunning views the island is never anything less that remarkable.

Hello.
We were thinking of bringing our 50' motor boat to the Isles of Scilly in June or July (circumstances permitting).
Is there a need to book in advance?
Thank you

Gale-force winds during Storm Aiden contributed to a freak wave that knocked down 10-metre yacht six miles south west of the Isles of Scilly. The single-handed sailor was rescued unharmed and was towed into safety by the St Marys RNLI Lifeboat in incredibly challenging conditions. Winds were reaching force nine, but the stricken vessel was safely towed to the harbour.

The distress signal was received by the Falmouth Coastguard in the early hours of the morning.

Coastguard Ian Guy said"The yachtsman described being hit by a large freak wave which capsized, rolled and disabled the vessel and with a such a severe gale forecast for the area this morning, it was important to get assistance out to this small sailing vessel quickly."

The lone yachtsman is reported as being an experienced sailor handled the situation well.

Another reason why the RNLI is so important to us mariners and deserve any support you can give.

Well done lads and lasses

The Schooner Hotel Isles of Scilly
Ahora hemos regresado de nuestras vacaciones de navegación y ahora estamos recordando nuestras experiencias. Uno que es muy importante para nosotros es nuestra visita a las islas de Scilly. Nos encantó la isla y especialmente el Schooner Hotel y su maravilloso restaurante. Muy amigable con los yates y el propietario tiene un hermoso yate como se mencionó en un comentario anterior. Esperamos visitar aquí nuevamente en algún momento en el futuro. recuerdos fantasticos

Little Arthur Cafe St Martins Isles of Scilly
When visiting these incredible islands don't just stick to St Mary's. As beautiful as it is, these islands need exploring and one of the easiest and interesting of the group is St Martins. And when there The Little Arthur Cafe is a great place to hang out. we just loved it here and its a place you can unwind. Most of us come to these islands to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of working life or stresses of family life. Well here is a place that you can forget about all that, but its important that we visit these places on our visits as they rely on us for their income and if we don't, then they simply wont exist. This just doesn't just go out to te Little Arthur Cafe, but all the other small family run businesses on this beautiful group of islands.
If you are reading this and have never visited the Isles of Scilly, please put it on your to do list and experience something special before its to late.

Deffinitely the best hotel and restaurant on these beautiful islands. A nice healthy walk up the hill and then you are ready for a drink and a bite to eat. Although we stay on the boat my inlaws stayed at the hotel so we met up here quite a lot. We will do the same on our next trip.

24/02/2019 @ 9:35 am

As seems customers on your harbour guides we have left reviews on the businesses we used on our visit to the Isles of Scilly. We hope they help others when on these beautiful islands.

Mrs S Seagar

Hello I was wondering if you could give me any information about getting the ferry from Penzance to St Mary's. We would like to travel around the end of June and stay on the islands for about 5days. There would be two of us and we would like to know how much the return fare would be and dates and times.
Thank you in anticipation.

Regards

Visited these lovely islands earlier this year and came across your site while searching for information. Great and informative guide and help while we were visiting. tried most of the restaurants you recommend and have no complaints whatsoever. heading over to the Med next. and have just had a look at your Barcelona guide. Port Olympic is going to be our next stop. Hope you're harbour guides are as useful and informative there as they have been here.
Thanks

Hi Glenda and Barry. Great to hear you had a great time. Remember we met at the Schooner bar.Me and Sheila also had a fantastic time. We are definitely going back next year, probably June, hopefully for a couple of weeks.Would be great if you are there at the same time. Not got any contact details for you, so hopefully you see this.

We have just had the best holiday in our lives on these incredibly beautiful, unspoilt islands. We are now well into our sixty's, and have travelled far and wide, but for some strange reason we have never visited these islands before. Well we have now, and we will be returning often. We found your guide very useful and easy to use, as we are quite new to the internet.
Best places? There are too many to mention them all, but we did love the vinyard, and the location of Schooners, oh and Juliets Garden, etc etc. as I said too many to mention.
Look forward to returning.

We are just getting used to using the internet, having been given an Ipad from our children. We took it with us to these beautiful islands and have had great pleasure in using it on your harbour guide.For the first time we now understand how useful the internet is, and why everyone seems to use it so much.
Great experience.

In response to Mary, Helen and Grace's comment, we have stayed at the Schooners and have to agree with your comments.We also loved the whole experience. We also met Keith and he was so accommodating and helpful.
We were not aware that the yacht they have is also available for charter though. Hopefully we will take advantage of this next time we visit.

Like the areal shots of the harbours on your pilot notes page. Simple but pretty useful to get an idea of the layout.

29/07/2013 @ 11:38 am

Mary, Helen and Grace

Would just like to add that we also had a fantastic meal and service at Juliets Garden. In fact we have come to the conclusion that all the meals we had on these islands were spot on. Better get on the scales and walk some of it off.

29/07/2013 @ 11:27 am

Mary, Helen and Grace

We have just visited these Islands for the first time, but it wont be our last. Although new to the internet we found your site easy to use and enjoyed trying the various restaurants. Although we were not booked into the Schooners hotel, we found ourselves using it for food and drinks as the location and the service are second to non.
We are planning our next trip here soon and hope to be able to get a reservation there.
If you have never been to these islands before I would strongly recommend this hotel.
They also have a large yacht, that you can go out on. The gentleman we met was called Keith, and he was extremely helpful and courteous.
A big thank you from the three of us.

Unfortunately Harbourguides wont be able to update The Isles of Scilly untill early 2013. However we will make sure it is completely up to date for the 2013 season.

HG Crew

Thanks for your comment"The Johnson Family" we are glad to hear that you found our guide informative, and we accept that there are certainly more businesses and services on these islands that merit inclusion. Our rep Paul Smith is visiting the islands at the beginning of October to update the guide, and include as many more businesses as possible. Hope you have a great trip to Gibraltar..

18/09/2012 @ 9:33 am

Johnson Famiy

Having just visited these Islands for the first time, we found your guide both informative and honest. We were even able to pass information on to people who had been coming here for decades and were perhaps stuck in their ways and hadn't recognised the changes over the years. However there are quite a lot of businesses that merit some kind of inclusion on your guide, and we have sent you an email with information about said services.
ps having seen your guide to Gibraltar we are planning a trip there in October, will let you know what we think.
Thanks, the Johnsons.

Douglas Noble

We have been going to the Isles of Scilly for many years now, we have noticed that they are not so remote now because ‘Brussels’ in the form of ‘Health & Safety’ have finally caught up with them. Up until recently it was like living in the 1950s over there, but now there is a lot more light pollution as the harbour is lit up like a Christmas tree. There is much less evening entertainment now so there is less to do in the evenings especially if its raining. Over the past ten years the number of vehicles has multiplied ten fold. Having said all that it is still a wonderful place to go if you want a quiet holiday and like walking. You can drink without worrying about driving; taxies are very cheap and will pick you up from anywhere so long as you can tell them roughly where you are! Put the taxi phone numbers in your mobile phone. The off islands are much less developed, visit them all if you can You can hire bicycles but bear in mind it’s quite hilly. As the days go by you will find that you are physically and mentally ‘slowing down’ allowing you to recharge your batteries in readiness for the return home, which will come all too quickly.

Hi Janet Malcom and twins..We are updating our guide to these islands early 2012 and there will be a lot more information for you to look at. It would be difficult for us to single out any particular hotel or island, but what we can say is that if they are featured on our guide we doubt very much that you would be disappointed

11/12/2011 @ 11:14 am

Janet, Malcom and Twins

We are planning a passage to these isles for our summer holidays in 2012. Although we will be sleeping on our boat some other members of my family will need accommodation..Can you recommend which Island they should stay on etc.

Not been to these islands for a few years now, but just looking at your site has reminded me of one of the nicest evenings i have ever had, at the Dibble and Grub with a partner who has now sadly passed away. The memories are great though and i am now thinking about coming back to this wonderful part of the world. So thanks.

We are planning to update our guide to these fabulous islands early in 2012, its got to be one of the Harbourguide Crews most enjoyable sites to work..We just love the atmosphere and the residents here..Look forward to seeing you all and compiling a great guide for future visitors..

HG it would be worth your while to pay Scilly another visit. There has been quite a few changes over the last few months ie. new restaurants,shops etc.

10/09/2011 @ 5:03 am

Mat and Sheila Walsh

We are planning to come to the islands later on this year, and have been looking at the accommodation on this site. We are thinking of staying at the Schooner Hotel, as it looks an ideal location and within our price range,can someone give us some feedback on what its like there as its our first visit and a special occasion.
Thanks Mat

We last updated our guide to these beautiful islands two years ago and they were still as unspoilt as ever..we are now due to update the guide later this year,and like you we hope they stay the same for many years to come..... I'm sure they will.

Its been twelve years since we last visited these beautiful islands.Please tell me they are as unspoilt as they were then as we are re-visiting later this year and are fearing they will have lost their mystique and innocence.

The Stone Shop by Helen Stacey-Norris

Always so helpful, bought a fish necklace there many years ago and brought it back to be mended, great job done and adapted another silver chain for me. These little gems make our holiday and I always find something else I can,t live without. Go on have a browse...who knows what you may find.

Star Castle Hotel by Malc

Star Castle Hotel
We loved pretty much everything about this hotel and its restaurants. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the food and rooms top quality. The only thing I would point out is that its a bit of an uphill walk to get there, but once you have arrived its well worth it.

Definitely the best way to see the beauty of the Island is by bike. We went for the electric option and covered and seen much more than we would have done by other transport. Beautiful Islands, cant wait to return

St. Martin's Vineyard by Vonny & Carl

St. Martin's Vineyard
The best way to spend a day is to wander around this stunning vineyard. It is also educational and we learned a lot of things about wines. The shop is well stocked and they also have home brewed beers. A fantastic way to spend a day and one we will definitely repeat on our next visit.

13/12/2023 @ 9:54 am

The Stone Shop by Kieran Roberts

The Stone Shop
One of the reasons we visit these islands is to get away from large chain stores that you see on every high street in the UK. The Stone Shop is a typical island business shop that is privately owned and run, and therefore giving a far better and personal service. The shop is full of unusual items and gifts and although only small you can find yourself brousing amongst all the stock for some time. nine times out of ten you wont leave without finding something you want to take home with you.

Harbour View Self Catering by Debbie & Ken

Harbour View & Fraggle Rock
We took the boat trip to Bryher and saw Fraggle Rock Bar on your website and thought we would pop in and have a look. Its a lovely bar restaurant and as the whether wasn't very good, we spent most of the afternoon here waiting for the boat. The staff looked after us very well and we both enjoyed the food (and of course the drinks) There is also self catering accommodation available with log cabins belonging to the same owners, we are considering staying here on our next trip to these beautiful islands.

Best way to get around this island is by bike. If you have a reasonable amount of fitness its very easy, however if like me, you dont fancy too much excersise try one of the electric bikes, its like going back in time when we had so much energy.

The standard of food here really is high class and we really couldnt fault it. Unfortunately we only discovered it on this site towards the end of our visit, so wasnt able to come back again. However now we know about it, we will be making it one of our first ports of call on our next visit.

Well of course when visiting these unique islands you just have to visit the Star Castle. Fantastic stroll up the hill to the hotel and restaurant. Thee really isn't a better hotel on the island as far as we are concerned. If you want great service fantastic hospitality and incredible food and not on a tight budget, try it. Its not crazily priced by any means, but remember you pay for what you get, and you get a hell of a lot for your money here.

Little Arthur Cafe by Jen and Co.

We nipped over to St Martins for the day on the little Ferry. we had a good walk around and headed back to the ferry stop, had a quick look on this guide and saw this lovely little place. It was perfect, we could sit and have a lovely snack and drink and watch the ferry come in. Its the best place to be if you are waiting for the ferry at this end of the island. You can really relax with no worries of missing it.
However if you were to miss the ferry, there are far worse places than St Martins to be stranded for a night or two.

Fantastic memories of staying at this wonderful hotel. we we really were treated like royalty! Picked up and dropped back off at the airport, fantastic room and food. Advice to anyone coming to these islands and staying here. Book an extra few days if possible, you wont regret it.
Thanks for a fantastic holiday and we really look forward to seeing you again in 2020 xx

Well worth the visit to St Martins just to have a meal and drink here. Run by a young couple who have transformed the whole building and experience. Great to see top end restaurants on this tiny island.

The Tanglewood Kitchen Company by Chris and Helena

A really good idea, and something other small islands should do. Fantastic food to eat in, take away, or get it delivered. Heaven

Star Castle Hotel Restaurant by Chris and Helena

I totally agree, the best hotel by far..we also love the walk up the hill, although we are glad that it's downhill on the way back.. many happy memories here, and we hope there are more to come

The Seven Stones Inn by Andrea & Chris T

Probably our favourite restaurant on all the Islands. The couple who run and own it (Sorry forget the names) have done a fantastic job in refurbishing this place. Its a complete transformation from the past and a really welcome adddition to this beautiful island. If you visit the islands take time to go to St Martins and try out this place..You wont be dissapointed.

Schooner Hotel by Sarah and Mick

Oh My God, just stumbled accross you, we are thinking of visiting the beautiful Isles of Scilly early next year. Its been 9 years or so since we were last there. We didnt stay in your hotel but frequented your bar and restaurant as often as we could. great to see you are still there and cant wait to call in again. do you still have that beautiful boat that was moored outside the hotel?

Schooner Hotel by Glenda and Barry

Just love the location of this fabulous Hotel Restaurant. We didnt stay here as it was our first time on the Islands, but we ate here and found it fabulous. The owner was extremely polite and helpful. When we return we will be staying here providing they have vacancies.
