The Isles of Scilly encompasses five inhabited islands: St Mary’s, Tresco, St Martin’s, Bryher and St Agnes – plus numerous uninhabited islands to explore.
Each of the Islands has its own distinct character and make sense to choose accordingly if you are looking for a particular holiday experience. If you want to visit all of the Islands then staying on St Mary’s is probably our best bet as the inter-island boats use the Quay at Hugh Town as their base. If you want white sands and seclusion then St Martin’s might be the Island for you.
There are an abundance of accommodation options on the Scillies with a range to suit every taste and every budget. You can rent a self catering property, stay at a cosy bed and breakfast, get pampered in a luxurious hotel or you can try camping on the islands.
We highly recommend reserving accommodation before you book anything else. Places to stay are usually in high demand so look to book many months in advance to get the location and type of accommodation you want. Alternatively, if you have flexibility with your travel dates it’s always worth looking out for accommodation which has become available due to a late notice cancellation.
