Home from Home in Paradise
Awaken to the soothing sound of the sea lapping gently against the granite walls outside your bedroom. Enjoy a freshly ground coffee as you watch St Mary’s harbour slowly come to life. Observe the abundant birdlife on the constantly changing shoreline from the comfort of your armchair. Venture out and St Mary's quay is a mere 100m from your beach house, with the restaurants, pubs and shops of Hugh Town all close by. Then after a day on our beautiful off-islands return home, fire up the barbie, enjoy a freshly grilled Scillonian lobster with a glass of champagne and take your front row seat as the setting sun casts an orange glow across the tranquil evening harbour.
Occupying an unrivalled position right on the water’s edge, Lower Anchorage is a large, modern two-bedroomed harbourside apartment. This Visit England, Four Star Gold rated apartment offers stunning and uninterrupted harbour views from its comfortable and spacious main lounge/ dining room and also from the master bedroom. Lower Anchorage is conveniently located and yet offers guests total peace, quiet and relaxation from the stresses of modern life. Home from home, yet a world away from the mainland.
Life’s a Perfect Beach - Isles of Scilly
Our islands are a uniquely blessed corner of England, a haven of outstanding natural beauty far from the madding crowd. Scilly boasts many spectacular, powder white beaches and crystal-clear waters one might expect to find in somewhat further flung destinations than southern England.
Enjoying a temperate maritime climate with longer sun hours and milder average temperatures than the rest of the UK, the islands are fortunate to be an excellent all year-round holiday destination. Spring and Summer are a great time to relax and soak up the sun on one of our many beautiful, deserted white sandy beaches, or pay a visit to the sub-tropical gardens on Tresco. For all its temperate mellowness, a wintery Scilly can also be witness to impressive storms and tempestuous seas. Autumn and Winter on the islands are wonderful times to revel in the islands’ stunning natural beauty and warm local hospitality.
