Lounge
A large room for just sitting around watching TV, eating or simply relaxing.
The dining table looks out across the front garden towards Pulpit Rock (part of the Peninnis headland), beautiful Old Town Bay is about 80m from your front door, with Old Town Church at its far end.
Relax in one of two sofas, one seats 4-5 the other seats 2-3.
There are two modern white sideboards. One contains games, CDs and DVDs; the other holds books, table mats etc.
Bedrooms
There are two double bedrooms, both with en suite shower-room One has a double bed and overlooks the front garden facing west, the other has a superking (can be twin) and overlooks the rear garden.
All bed linen and towels are provided and beach towels are also available. If you are staying for longer than a week, a weekly change of linen is provided.
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, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, electric kettle and toaster, plus rubbish and relevant recycling bins. Dishwasher tabs, rinse aid and cleaning products are provided.
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. Beach towels and outdoor seating cushions are located in the utility room.
Also you will find a container for recycling all clean glass
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 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.
