Having enjoyed our previous visits to the Isles of Scilly many years ago, we could not have found a nicer place than Pelistry Cottage, Ann is such a warm, helpful host and makes sure that your stay is like home from home nothing is too much trouble. The breakfasts are the best such a great choice to choose from. Our room was perfect clean, bright and fully equipped. Ann is also very knowledable about the Islands. Thank you.

My wife and I stayed here in early May. Up on arrival we were met by Anne who made us most welcome and showed us to our room. We stayed in number 4 bedroom which has a choice of two singles or one huge double bed ( two singles pushed together. The ensuite and bedroom were spotlessly clean and nicely decorated. At breakfast there is a good choice of food , cereals , toast , full English. As the previous review said the kettle and fridge for fresh milk in the dining room is available during the day and there are drink making facilities in the bedroom.

Ann runs a fantastic b&b.. friendly, spotlessly clean. Comfortable. Superb breakfasts. Ideal central location for all of town..quiet. Quite simply a wonderful b&b. Rooms are big enough for two adults to relax, shower is refreshing. Beach towels provided. Beach less than a few minutes walk. Highly recommended.

Visiting Pelistry Cottage was akin to spending a week with a good friend. We were welcomed with a card and box of fudge and indulged at every breakfast. With freedom to come and go and put the kettle on, what more could we ask. Immaculate bed and bathroom to fall into at the end of each joyful day made up the perfect holiday.
