This was our first visit to the Isles of Scilly. We stayed in a superior room with sea view for 7 nights, dinner, bed & breakfast. The room itself was somewhat disappointing. It was rather small and not what we had expected for the price. It did, however, have a stunning view of the harbour and quayside. We were surprised... more

Glad you enjoyed your stay at Tregarthen's and we really look forward to welcoming you to the hotel again soon. We are starting the first phase of refurbishment of our bedrooms for the 2010 season - including tiled floors in the bathrooms!

We were truly apalled with the behaviour of the restaurant staff and every evening was like playing musical chairs, you never knew where you were going to sit in spite of us asking for a none view window (we live by the seaside). The behaviour of one of the waiters called Matt was disgraceful he actually argued with my wife... more

This is a very nice hotel considering that it is 150 years old! The hotel itself is decorated nicely and has been modernised in the lobby. However the rooms are not as up to date as I would have liked, considering we had booked a superior double room. Although the room was quite large and comfortable it was not as... more

We would just like to clarify a few things. Tregarthen's does not have a swimming pool and certainly neither our information sheets nor our website says that we do. There is however an outdoor pool on St Mary's managed the Council of the Isles of Scilly. Also, although the vast majority of our customers are very happy with the standards...

Tregarthen's came recommended but it does not come cheaply!! All the staff were very pleasant however the dining experience here left a lot to be desired!! Our first evening we were paying for a 4 course meal... The starters came out and as soon as we had finished we literally had our plates taken away out came the next course...closely... more

I am very sorry to hear about this and wish that you had spoken to me at the time, as I would of course have been more than happy to make sure that your meals were saved at the pace that suited you. In general, we receive nothing but praise for the quality of dining experience at Tregarthen's. A recent...

We stayed here in June for a family holiday having been recommended to us by friends. Recommendations can be a dodgy but we soon realised our friends were right and we were not going to be dissapointed. The location is fabulous and ideal for either going on a boat trip, hitting the beach or a wonder round the quiet streets... more

Dear Benjamin, We are extremely sorry that you have been disappointed and also surprised as we have had no negative feedback from guests regarding the staff recorded at all in May. In fact, we have had some really positive feedback, including a comment from the 'Liverpool Echo' that 'the staff could not do enough for you and the food is...

As the Scillonian 111 docked at St Mary's we could see Tregarthens overlooking the harbour. We were greeted by the hotel porter who took our luggage and then did the short 2 or 3 minute walk to Tregarthens. The hotel looked good from the boat and when we arrived our thoughts were confirmed. The cheery greeting from the receptionist matched... more

We stayed at Tregarthen's in April and loved it so much we went back again in August and we were just as delighted with our stay. The location overlooking the harbour not only provides superb views but is also ideal for getting the boats to the off islands or popping into the heart of St Mary's. The food was excellent... more

We picked the hotel for its location and we were slightly disappointed as the room did not have a seaview. Although the service from the staff was great the hotel really needs an update as the rooms are very dated. This is not a cheap place to stay and if you expect the same level of accommodation for the money... more

This was the first time we have stayed at this hotel, but have visited the Islands many times before. Tregarthens is the longest established hotel and has a very loyal following, hence the clientel tended towards the elderly, but the staff are young and very friendly and helpful. The position must be the best on St Marys, very near the... more
