"My second time staying here, and I will be back. The room was spacious super clean and comfy and the woman on reception couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was excellent. It's a shame they don't reopen the restaurant for evening meals though, I'm sure they would be busy every night. The Co-op has changed to an Asda - it's right across the road and the hotel offers wine glasses in the lounge if you bring a bottle in to your room. Very nice place."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in St Mary'S?
The best area to stay in St Mary's is the village centre, particularly around Main Street and the harbour.

This area is the heart of St Mary's, offering easy access to essential amenities and the island's ferry services. Main Street is where you'll find most of the local shops, cafes, and restaurants, and it's a pleasant area for a stroll. The harbour is a focal point, with boats coming and going, and offers lovely views of the water.

Couples looking for a relaxing break will appreciate the convenience of staying in the village centre. You'll be within walking distance of several eateries for evening meals and can easily catch a boat for day trips to other islands from the harbour. This allows for an easy experience without needing to rely on taxis or long walks.

For those who enjoy a bit more seclusion but still want good access, staying slightly outside the main village, perhaps along the roads leading towards Hugh Town, can be a good option. You might find properties with more expansive views or larger gardens, providing a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring.
