Day 1 Travel to Penzance for the morning sailing to St Mary’s. The Bell Rock Hotel is just a five minute walk from St Mary’s Harbour. A luggage transfer will be provided by a local operator.
Day 2 St Mary’s is the largest of the Isles of Scillies islands with 1,800 inhabitants. Spend the day exploring Hugh Town, the island's 'capital'.
