Swap city streets for the streets of Scilly and experience coastal living in a Scillonian cottage for a week or two, where your daily commute will take you for a stroll along the beachfront towards town to pick up your freshly baked bread for the morning, and your office days are swapped for lazy afternoons in the garden or sitting at the window watching the comings and goings on the water.

Fancy being energetic? Head to Porthmellon, the next beach along and try your hand at some of the local watersports, will kayaking, wind surfing or stand up paddle boarding be your thing?

For a bit of exploring, its just a five minute walk through town and onto the quay where you’ll find the boats leaving to take you to one off the off-islands for the day or maybe you want to discover the local wildlife, or go on a fishing trip for the afternoon, there’s all sorts of boating trips taking place.

At the end of the day, gather the family for a meal together in the conservatory dining room and catch up on your island adventures then pour a drink, cross the road and take a seat on The Strand to enjoy the sounds of the sea lapping on the beach below and watch the sun setting on another exciting day.
