Star Castle Hotel

Perched atop the historic Garrison Hill on St Mary's, the largest of the Isles of Scilly, Star Castle Hotel is a remarkable blend of Elizabethan heritage and contemporary comfort. Originally constructed in 1593 to defend against Spanish invasion, this Grade I listed fortress has been thoughtfully transformed into a family-run hotel that exudes character and charm. Guests can choose from 38 individually styled rooms, either within the castle's ancient granite walls or nestled among the lush gardens in country cottage accommodations, many offering private verandas and sweeping sea views.
