Stepping into White Cottage is like stepping back in time, an old Scillonian cottage with plenty of reminders of days gone by, from the wooden beams and the thick granite walls to the ornamental fireplaces and quirky layout.

Being located on Church Street you are half way between Town Beach and Porthcressa Beach both just a minute or twos walk away so just check the wind direction, grab your beach gear and head off for a quick morning dip before starting the day.

Just a few minutes level walk away you’ll find the main town with its shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants and a couple of minutes further along is the quay where you can spend many a happy hour watching the boats coming and going or maybe jumping on a boat yourself and heading out to one of the other islands for the day or perhaps on a wildlife spotting or fishing trip.

Don’t forget to take time out of your holiday to just relax in the gardens, either sit in the front garden and people watch as they head in and out of town, or unwind in your own private back garden where you can fire up the built in barbecue and enjoy a meal and a drink or two in the evening sunshine.

For a traditional Scillonian cottage, close to the town and beaches, White Cottage is definitely one to be added to your list.
