For us there were a few positives, but also a lot of negatives. On the plus side our room had a good sea view, the bed its bed linen were excellent (although the bedhead had come adrift), the room was a good size and the castle - which if you are staying in the 'modern' annexe is virtually acedemic -...

It is rare to enjoy a hotel stay where there is literally nothing to grouse about. We had never visited the Scillies before but always wanted to, and happened to see the Star Castle mentioned in the Sunday Times at the appropriate time. We chose a Superior Castle Room (no 7) in a deal that included flights to and from... More

Whilst staying at the Bell Rock Hotel in St.Mary's I was told by a friend who had visited the Star Castle to make sure I called in. My friend and I walked up , first we went to the Garrison to see a well displayed story of the past history, then further up we entered grounds of the Hotel, and... More

Instead of repeating what others have said (and with which I thoroughly agree - this hotel is superb), I would like specially to commend the service and the staff in the two restaurants. We stayed five nights and I have to say that I have never had such good service in any restaurant or hotel. The staff (in both restaurants)... More

Would thoroughly recommend this hotel. Great service, very friendly staff, amazing food (choice of 2 restaurants), lovely rooms with superb views from many of them. When our baggage couldn't be carried on the same flight from the mainland, they even arranged for someone to go back to the airport to pick it up specially for us when it arrived on... More

Booked a holiday before a dreaded medical situation and decided to splurge out. Husband had always wanted to go to the Scillies, I was not so keen in April. However, we were both delighted with our choice of island and hotel. Everything about the hotel was excellent, in spite of doubting the previous reviews. We chose a garden room, mainly... More

We have just returned from the Scillies. We had 5 nights in Star Castle. We chose a garden room which although slightly disapointing from the outside, was very comfortable and tasteful inside. The bed was so comfortable, just the best! We did not opt to pay more for sea view and that was a good decision, the islands are so... More

We recently returned from a 4 night stay at the Star Castle for our honeymoon and it couldn't have been better. They organised our travel (by helicopter) and gave us a warm welcome at the heliport, taking our luggage for us straight from baggage collection to our hotel room. We had to have one of our bags come out on... More

We had a fabulous holiday. The telephone greeting and reception were first class. Everyone on the staff were very friendly and very helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was amazing. An exceptionally wide choice across the two restaurants (one specialising in seafood) where the quality of the ingredients was fabulous. The portion size was generous (but not wasteful)... More

This was our first visit to The Isles of Scilly and we hope won't be our last. The Star Castle made us welcome from being met at the airport to our departure. The hotel is lovely, a truly magical place steeped in history. The staff, every single one of them were friendly, helpful and prepared to go out of their... More
