Staying at The Bell Rock Hotel, St. Mary’s
8 DAYS | 8th July 2026
Just 28 miles off the southwest tip of Britain lies the small, beautiful archipelago of the Isles of Scilly. A charismatic destination with unique charm and warmth there is mile after mile of white sandy beaches, acres of natural landscape to explore, and a rich and fascinating history. The skies seem bigger here, the horizons further away, and the landscape broader. It all feels quite intimate and old fashioned, it is as if you’ve stumbled upon an idyllic film set from a bygone era. Let the concerns of everyday life drift away on the falling tide. This is the stuff that holiday memories are made of: beautiful surroundings, a gentler pace of life, quiet conversation and nature’s soundtrack.
The Bell Rock Hotel is perfectly situated in St. Mary’s on Church Street; a quiet part of town, it is very convenient for the two beaches and the shops of Hugh Town. The hotel offers comfort and elegance, the highest standard of service and a friendly atmosphere. It boasts a pleasant dining room, lounge and an indoor swimming pool. All bedrooms offer comfortable accommodation with en-suite facilities. The hotel has no lift, but does have some ground floor rooms.
