Guest Cottage Holiday, St Agnes, Isles of Scilly

Picture
Until we moved into the bigger house next door, the Guest Cottage was our lovely little family home; and though we have stripped and transformed it into an elegant holiday space, it still has a welcoming feel.  Far from being impersonal self-catering accommodation, you will find it is genuinely designed for living.  The kitchen centres round a warming cast-iron Everhot cooker, and has everything you need, from proper cook's knives to Moomin mugs, garlic press to dishwasher...

Living

Picture
If you have a wild, windy, rainy day, you'll be snug and happy curled up on the sofa, playing cards, watching films, dipping into our eclectic shelves of books (art books, Dickens, Aga Sagas, modern novels, 18th century histories of Scilly...), and watching the glow of the wood-burner.



Sleeping

Picture
Upstairs, the two bedrooms (one with king-size bed, one with a double and a single) are painted in serene blue-greys, lit by deep-set sash windows framing bright lighthouse views.  Goose-down pillows and duvets, fine pure cotton sheets and the amazing quiet of starry island nights will complete your days of exploring rocks and beaches with the most peaceful of sleeps.

Conserving

Picture
We have designed the cottage with much thought, not only for your comfort, but also for our exceptional St Agnes environment.  The wood-burner uses sustainable fuel, cleaning products and kitchen basics are organic and fair-trade where possible; and most importantly, we try to conserve our island's well and rain water supply.  The water is hot, and the shower powerful, but we ask our guests to be as careful as possible not to overuse or waste this precious resource.
