Star Castle Hotel

Location and Views: The hotel offers stunning views of the bay and surrounding islands, situated in a historic castle environment. Its location is perfect for exploring nearby areas like St. Mary's and the Scilly Isles, despite requiring a steep walk from town.

Absolutely lovely hotel. Full of character and history. My only criticism is that I had a room on the top floor and being 6’4” had to duck all the time so I didn’t bang my head and stoop when I had a shower but that’s my issue not the hotels. Breakfast was delicious, beds were super comfy, and the room was very clean.

Stayed at the Star Castle 6 to 9 August 2025 with a 10 month old and 3 year old. We had an absolutely amazing time. The staff are so family friendly and go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. The kids menu (served handily at 5.30pm) was fresh and balanced. The chef even pureed all meals for my 10 month old meaning she could eat delicious food and not have to live off jars for the duration of the holiday. Special shoutout to Luke who our 10 month old fell in love with. Breakfast was also great for both adults and kids. What was such a treat is that we could put the kids to bed and eat a lovely, adult meal, a stone‘s throw away with the monitor on the table. We loved the Castle restaurant. Excellent wine list and really appreciated that they didn’t try to push the expensive wines and we had a different, delicious, mid range wine every night. Wonderful and warm indoor pool went down very well with the toddler. She also loved the Wendy House. The hotel driver, Kris is also an extremely nice and helpful man. In summary, it’s a wonderful, family run hotel, where the owners have instilled an extremely warm and friendly culture in all their staff. They go out of your way to make you feel welcome and also make the most of your time in the area. Would highly recommend.
