The Crows Nest, St Marys, Isles of Scilly


The Crows Nest, St Marys, Isles of Scilly

The Crow’s Nest is a delightful getaway offering stunning views right from the beach. This flat is perfect for those seeking a peaceful escape with beautiful surroundings. From the windows, guests can enjoy vistas of the harbour, the golf course, the nearby islands of Tresco and Tean, and even the iconic Round Island Lighthouse in the distance.

This accommodation is ideal for couples, featuring a comfortable double bedroom, a shower room, and an open-plan lounge diner with a kitchen area. The lounge also includes a bed settee, providing an option for friends who prefer separate sleeping arrangements, though the flat is best suited for two people.

The islands, located just 30 miles southwest of Cornwall, are known for their early arrival of spring, thanks to the warming effects of the Gulf Stream. Frosts are a rare occurrence, and the climate encourages the growth of subtropical plants, lending an almost exotic feel to the landscape.

Visitors can indulge in scenic walks along the coastline, soak in the stunning seascapes, and relax in the cosy pubs and restaurants scattered across the islands. Birdwatchers will find plenty to admire, while anyone looking to unwind in natural beauty will be captivated by the breathtaking landscapes that surround The Crow’s Nest.
