Response from the owner Thank you for your kind review. The sea view can be enjoyed from the bedrooms and bathrooms, we do not advertise this as a key benefit, but we are 50 metres from the beach. The cottage is considered luxury for The Isles of Scilly and above expectations compared to equivalent Duchy of Cornwall properties, which would charge a 25%+ premium on our prices. The cottage has every modern convenience for a self-catering cottage, including a fully equipped kitchen, washing appliances, full entertainment system with satellite TV, and full Wi-Fi. We are not a hotel. We went out of our way to provide you with a hot meal on arrival as a courtesy, we aim to please where we can. But as a self-catering, you are expected to meet your own dietary requirements or eat out. Unfortunately, we experienced an unusual cold snap while you were staying and increased the underfloor heating at your request. (Furthermore, we pushed it to 26 degrees C in the lounge!) We are positioned out of town and the location can be viewed on the map provided, we also provide a link to Google maps in our welcome e-mail sent out a month prior to arrival. We are sorry you did not enjoy The Isles of Scilly, it is a unique location and does not provide "seaside attractions" of larger communities. Our visitors come here to enjoy walks and traditional local beach or boating experiences. We hope you had a safe journey home, thank you again for staying with us.

“Great location & excellent clean, comfortable accommodation”
Lovely property, easy walking distance to Hugh town & the quay (15 mins). Extremely well kitted out, great decor, large, comfortable beds. A great deck to sit out & enjoy breakfast / evening sun. Our 1st trip to the Isles of Scilly, this is a gem.
