One of the best holiday locations in the UK, the Isles of Scilly offer crystal clear waters, sandy beaches and loads of places to discover and explore. For those of us used to the orange glow of light pollution there’s the promise of a stunning view of the stars on clear nights.
The Star Castle Hotel offers one of the best places to stay on the isles. Located on the main island of St Marys, this 16th century castle has 38 rooms and a wide range of facilities. There’s plenty to see and do on St Marys, and loads of great restaurants well stocked with local seafood.
Regular boat trips make visiting the other islands easy, so you’ll find more than enough to keep you busy. Main attractions are the Abbey Gardens, lighthouse boat trips and the chance to see animals like dolphin, seals, basking sharks and occasional rare visiting birds.
