Whetting your appetite for 2020 dining at Hell Bay...

September sees a month-long foodie celebration across the islands – from farm tours, demonstrations with local producers, to island-hopping supper safaris, there’s plenty to get your teeth into. Here are five reasons to choose Hell Bay as your Taste of Scilly base…

Join us at Hell Bay during September for a weekend of cookery demonstrations and delicious dining experiences with the Truro School arm of the prestigious Leiths School of Food & Wine Academy.

Perhaps it’s the ruggedness of the island with the Atlantic air rolling in across heather and gorse-clad cliffs? Or the perfect contrast of the tranquil calm of the hotel? Whatever, there is something indefatigably, indescribably, joyously relaxing about Hell Bay. Ironic, isn’t it?

Ensconced amongst Bryher’s rugged coastlines and at one with the elements, Hell Bay makes an evocative base for a wellness retreat. This September, islander Gem Hansen will lead our first yoga & meditation break. Here, Gem shares her journey to yoga, and emphasises why yogic practice and island escapism go hand in hand.
