Welcome to Carnwethers Country House, here on the wonderful island of St. Mary's on the Isles of Scilly, run by Rachel and Jeff Knowles. All the cottages are set within a large, delightful and well stocked shared garden (but also with your own private areas). They all enjoy shared access to a fabulous solar-heated salt chlorinated swimming pool, library, games room, croquet lawn and barbecue.
We also offer delightful B&B accommodation within Carnwethers Country House which is perfect if you'd like to kick back and have your breakfast brought to you every morning. The bedrooms are large - offering super king size double beds (or twins) with enough space for an additional "put-up" bed if necessary.

We would wish your stay with us to be as comfortable as possible, so please do not hesitate to ask if you have any concerns about access or if there is anything that would make your stay more enjoyable.
Here is some information which we hope will be useful for when you come on holiday, particularly as Carnwethers' is located "upcountry" - about 2.5 miles from Hugh Town and the Quay. From April through to October, a community bus operates six days a week on St Mary's providing a circular route around the island.

We have just returned from a wonderful week staying in Secret Garden Cottage with our Spaniel.
The cottage was very well equipped,comfortable bed,excellent shower and beautiful private garden with our own gas bbq!
We were made to feel very welcome by the lovely hosts,Rachel and Jeff and can’t wait to return again next year.
The Scillies were as stunning as ever and the icing on the cake was walking straight from cottage to the beautiful Pelistry Bay .

Stayed here with my partner and 9 month old son at the start of April. We hired Rowan Tree for a week and thought it was fantastic value for money. The location is perfect for relaxing, exploring, walking, and is just a few minutes from the beach. The owners were lovely too. I'd highly recommend staying here.
