The Islands

St Martins

The third largest of the Isles of Scilly, St. Martin's is remarkably natural and unspoilt, with gorse-covered moorland, flower fields and sweeps of white, fine sand beaches. This is where the Isles of Scilly Dive School is located and from where Morvoren and RIB charters are provided.

The Seven Stones pub has a bar menu and serves food lunchtime and evenings. The Round Island Bar at the St Martin’s Hotel also serves food. Non residents can eat in the Tean Restaurant which was awarded a Michelin Star in 2008. On Monday nights, Polreath Tea Rooms have a curry night (eat in or takeaway), they also serve evening meals on Thursdays. Adam’s Fish and Chips, winners of the BBC Radio Four Food and Farming Awards for Best Takeaway 2008, are open on Tuesday and Thursday evenings for both eat in and takeaway. The award winning St Martin’s Bakery can provide fresh filled rolls, pasties and pizzas along with bread and a range of cakes. St Martin’s Post Office offers a very good range of supplies.

St Martin's has a gallery, a gift shop, and a flowers-by-post service at Churchtown Farm (01720 422169)

St Mary’s
St. Mary's is the largest and most populated of the Isles of Scilly. Consequently it also has the most facilities for the holiday-maker, including divers' families. ScillyDiving's Moonshadow Charters are operated from St. Mary's.

St Mary's has a Co-op and several other shops offering a wide range of foodstuffs. There are 4 pubs on St Mary's all serving lunches and evening meals. There are also numerous cafés and restaurants to choose from. Locally caught fish can be bought on the islands.

Accommodation
For charter groups on St. Martin's we can provide details of available accommodation; this is usually good standard self-catering. We can also recommend accommodation for those who are taking courses at the dive school and diving independently, and their families. Please note that nearly all island accommodation requires you to bring sheets, pillowcases and towels, but duvets are provided.

If you are staying on St Mary's we will give you some choices of accommodation for you to arrange. Information about available accommodation can also be found in the official Isles of Scilly site.
