Lying just off the coast of Cornwall, enjoy the slower pace of life and old-world charm from our base in Hugh Town.

Day 1

After your departure, we travel south through Devon, making a stop en route before continuing into Cornwall to our overnight hotel.

Day 2

An early start today as we head to Penzance to board the Scillonian ferry. During our crossing, you will enjoy a unique perspective of some of Cornwall's most iconic coastline, sailing past quaint fishing villages, impressive lighthouses and towering cliff tops - look out for famous landmarks such as the world-renowned open-air Minack Theatre, Porthcurno Cove and the Land's End peninsula, as well as marine wildlife-spotting from the deck. We arrive in St Mary's around lunchtime and take a leisurely walk (luggage transfers will be provided) from the quayside to to Bell Roack Hotel in Hugh Town, the island's 'capital', where you'll stay for the next four nights.

Day 4

Enjoy a full day at leisure in Hugh Town, escaping everyday stresses to return to a gentler way of life where old-fashioned values are championed. Situated between two beaches, which are both a short walk from our hotel, perfect for taking in the tranquillity and mild climate, thanks to the Atlantic's gulf stream. Alternatively, you may enjoy a wildlife safari boat trip searching for the local puffins, seals, rare seabirds and dolphins. If you decide to explore further afield, why not visit one of the beautiful neighbouring islands? St Mary's is known as the 'Gateway to the Isles of Scilly', so island-hopping is easy with local boat trips departing from the quayside. With five inhabited islands to choose from, you'll be spoilt for choice!
NB. Evening dinner is NOT included at the hotel this evening which will enable you to explore your choice of culinary experience Hugh Town has to offer.

Day 5

Today's included excursion takes us by boat to the privately owned island of Tresco. Here, we include visiting the world-famous Abbey Gardens, Scilly's sub-tropical gem, with free time to explore at your own pace. Flourishing just twenty-eight miles off the coast of Cornwall, Tresco Abbey Garden was established around the ruins of a Benedictine Abbey and is home to over twenty thousand plants from over eighty countries and every Mediterranean climate zone. Watch out for red squirrels and golden pheasants meandering by, marvel at magnificent sculptures in shady glades, and browse haunting echoes of island shipwrecks in the enchanting Valhalla Figurehead Museum.

Day 6

With a leisurely start to the day, we check out and this afternoon you take the short walk back to the quayside to board the ferry back to the mainland (luggage transfers will again be provided). Upon arriving in Penzance, our coach will be waiting to take us to our overnight hotel.
