Access guide...
Introduction
Our home is over a hundred years old and is set in a peaceful island location at the top of a hill and offers 3 guest rooms that are situated on the 1st and 2nd floors of the house.
We are located a 5 minute downhill walk from Par Beach and Higher Town quay and a 25 minute downhill walk from Lower Town quay. Our island store and post office is 50 metres away and the nearest town is Hugh Town on St. Mary’s which is a 25 minute boat ride away.
There is one road less than a mile in length that runs from Higher Town Quay at one end of the island to Lower Town Quay at the other end. It is not a public highway and can be uneven in places. There are also numerous footpaths and beaches to explore and the terrain varies from fine sandy beaches to rugged moorland.
There is no public transport on St. Martin’s except for a boat service that operates between islands which is weather and tide dependant.
We look forward to welcoming you. If you have any queries or require any assistance please telephone 01720 422046 or email [email protected]
Pre-Arrival
The Isles of Scilly are reached via fixed wing plane (Skybus) from Lands End, Newquay or Exeter or by helicopter or boat (Scillonian III) from Penzance. The off-island of St. Martin’s is then a 25 minute boat ride away by inter-island launch.
There are three electric mobility scooters available to hire on the island. For further details please contact Chris Saville on 01720 423563.
We welcome Assistance Dogs at Polreath but guests are not permitted to bring other pets to stay at the property.
