A hotel in the Isles of Scilly has been nominated for a prestigious national award. The Island Hotel on Tresco is one of three finalists in the England for Excellence award.
The Island Hotel is situated on the northern end of Tresco at Old Grimsby and has long been associated with distinction and high quality. The Hotel is also seen as one of the premier places to stay on the Islands (along with St. Martins Hotel) in term of indulgence, not detracting from the fact that many prefer the Islands for their historic importance and natural beauty.
There have been several high profile articles written about Hotels on the Islands recently, including the Guardian’s ‘Five Stars for 2002’ feature. The transport links to the Island are also an important factor as the helicopter service runs a direct route to Tresco.
