Star Castle Hotel, Hugh Town - A Historic Bastion of Island Elegance
Perched atop The Garrison, the Star Castle Hotel commands a unique position within the Isles of Scilly, offering a distinguished escape. This family-run establishment, housed within a 16th-century castle, seamlessly marries its rich heritage with contemporary comfort. It's a place where history whispers from the ramparts and the allure of the surrounding archipelago is ever-present, making it a standout choice for those seeking refined island living.
Location
The hotel's commanding location on The Garrison provides breathtaking panoramic views across the stunning archipelago of over 140 islands. A leisurely stroll leads to the heart of St. Mary's, the largest island, with its harbour, shops, and dining. Nearby, you can explore the Duchy of Cornwall, the Isles of Scilly Museum, and the historic Garrison Walls, all within easy reach. For those seeking to venture further, the hotel's courtesy transport is invaluable for exploring hidden coves like Porth Helick or the winding lanes leading to Old Town, home to the Scilly Spirit gin distillery and acclaimed potter John Bourdeaux.
Style and Character
Steeped in history, the Star Castle Hotel is a genuine 16th-century fortress that has been thoughtfully reimagined. Original features such as large wooden beams, open fireplaces, and stonewalls have been preserved, offering a tangible connection to its past. These are beautifully complemented by contemporary styling in subtle hues, with quality fabrics by Linwood and Clarke & Clarke, and evocative artworks reflecting the local landscape. The interiors offer welcoming, light-filled spaces that invite relaxation, a far cry from the castle's original purpose, providing a unique and intriguing atmosphere.
Service and Facilities
A dedicated team of long-serving staff are the custodians of the Star Castle experience, committed to ensuring a stay that is both relaxing and memorable. Their attention to detail is paramount, providing a warm and efficient service. The hotel offers a good array of facilities to enhance your stay, including an indoor heated swimming pool, a tennis court, and complimentary golf. For those arriving by air, courtesy transport from the airfield adds a layer of seamless convenience. The Dungeon Bar provides a unique setting for pre- or post-dinner drinks, offering a wide selection of wines and spirits.
Rooms
The hotel offers 38 rooms, encompassing categories such as Castle Rooms, Single Guardrooms, Garden Rooms, and Suites, each designed to offer comfort and character. Many rooms still maintain their historic charm, featuring king-size beds, en-suite bathrooms with complimentary toiletries, hairdryers, and seating areas. Certain rooms offer sea or harbour views, while some suites provide outdoor space and small refrigerators. The Guardrooms, located along the ramparts, offer individual, compact spaces with en-suite facilities and private entrances, perfect for the solo traveler. Larger rooms and suites often include seating areas, private terraces or patios, and ample space for relaxation.
Food and Drink
The Star Castle Hotel excels in its culinary offerings, with two award-winning restaurants focusing on fresh, locally sourced produce and exceptional seafood. The proprietor, Robert Francis, personally ensures the freshest lobster and crab, caught aboard the hotel's own fishing boat, 'Gallos'. Daily changing menus feature beautifully presented local fish like John Dory and hake, alongside dishes such as rabbit stuffed with wild mushrooms. Evening meals are available through 2 to 5-course options, complemented by a curated selection of fine wines from around the world. Breakfast is a generous buffet followed by cooked dishes including eggs Florentine, Benedict, or Royale. The hotel's own kitchen garden contributes significantly to the seasonal fare.
Value for Money
The Star Castle Hotel presents a compelling value proposition, particularly for those seeking an experience steeped in history and offering unparalleled access to the natural beauty of the Isles of Scilly. The inclusion of facilities like complimentary golf and courtesy transport, coupled with the exceptional quality of the locally sourced cuisine and the unique accommodation within a historic castle, justifies the investment for a truly memorable island getaway.
Accessibility
While the historic nature of the castle presents certain challenges, the hotel offers a range of room types, and guests are encouraged to discuss specific accessibility needs with the hotel directly. The presence of modern facilities like an indoor heated swimming pool and the availability of courtesy transport aim to enhance the overall comfort and ease of access for all visitors.
Family-Friendly
The Star Castle Hotel warmly welcomes families, with a variety of room configurations, including suites, suitable for those traveling with children. The array of facilities, from the swimming pool to the expansive grounds, provides ample entertainment. The hotel's commitment to exceptional service extends to its younger guests, ensuring a comfortable and engaging stay for the entire family.
“In Hugh Town, this unique castle hotel stands out. The setting offers views of the Scilly Archipelago, while its dining earns awards for fresh, local seafood. It's a relaxing, family-run retreat with charm and distinctive character.”
