There are also hairdryers in the rooms and complimentary toiletries (see Extras).

Kitchen

​

OK so you may not want to do much cooking, but there's everything here if you do.

​

The kitchen includes an electric oven with extractor hood and ceramic hob, dishwasher, refrigerator, electric kettle and toaster, plus an automatic waste bin! (The microwave is in the Utility room)

As you can see in Extras our complimentary 'Welcome Pack' is full of goodies so you will not need to rush out to the shops on arrival.

Utility Room

​

Here is the washing machine (powder/liquid is provided) and a tumble dryer. There's also a large work-top under which there is ample luggage space and on top is a microwave.

Scilly now recycles, glass, paper, plastic and metal, and all the relevant re-cycling bins are here.

​

A large coat rack is provided for outdoor clothing.

​

Garden

Well it's a sort of room, and we expect you to make a lot of use of it.

​

Flowers bloom at most times of year, with a superb display of mesembryanthemums, from mid June to early August - that's the shimmering mauve flowers in the front wall.

​

But we suspect the favourite area will be 'Brett's Deck', that's the large decking area with relaxing seats, a table and sunshade. With the garden facing roughly westward, and with Scilly having very long/late sunny evenings (due to us being almost half-a-time-zone further west than London) you can relax and enjoy whatever is your favourite drink or snack, and also have a pleasant chat about the day you've had, or the days to come.

​

P.S. As to why it's 'Brett's Deck' you'll have to read the story in our Visitors' Handbook that gives advice on Carn Ithen and the islands,
