About Us

Sylina is a modern property built by the previous owners and run as a B&B for a number of years before we bought it in October 2006.  During this time we have made extensive improvements to the property, including the addition of our stunning conservatory which opens to a large private garden, both of which are available for our guests sole use at all times. Our Silver Award reflects these efforts in striving for excellence and to enhance the quality and enjoyment of all our guests' visits.

Our country location means you are guaranteed the peace and quiet people coming to Scilly appreciate and you will see that there is so much more to St. Mary's than just Hugh Town. Bar Beach is at the end of our lane and if you continue round the coastal path you will discover Pelistry Beach “the locals favourite”. Halangy Ancient Village and Bants Carn Burial Chamber are no more than 10 minutes walk away, this is the most perfect spot to watch the sun setting over Samson and Bryher, and sometimes you may be lucky enough to encounter our local BT engineer playing his bagpipes to the setting sun!

When staying at Sylina you can enjoy a full cooked English breakfast to set you up for a days exploring; vegetarian and lighter options are also available. We use local free range eggs in our cooking and you will notice the difference immediately. Breakfast is served between 8.00-8.30am to allow you to walk to the quay to catch the 10.15 tripper boats, if you don't fancy the walk the 09.24 bus picks up at the top of our lane and will get you in to town in plenty of time, alternatively you can hire a bike and there are several good taxi services available. An early breakfast can be arranged for guests departing on early flights.

All special diets can be catered for but please give us as much notice as possible.

Juliet's Garden and the Golf Club are within walking distance; in “town” all of the pubs offer bar snacks and there are some great restaurants and cafes to sample. We can let you know which the current popular places are, just ask!
