Just a short distance from St Marys, on Scilly, Star Castle Hotel is a family-run hotel, with stunning views of the neighbouring islands.

What cuisine is on offer at Star Castle?
Very much a destination in its own right, the hotel has two award-winning restaurants, serving locally-caught seafood, fresh local produce and seasonal vegetables from the castle's own kitchen garden.
