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 in the autumn.

Ahead of our Foodie Break featuring Truro School of Cookery this April, guest chef AJ Turner reflects on the islands’ local producers, Bryher’s captivating landscape, and why the Crab Shack makes the perfect cookery venue.

A highlight of the islands' calendar, Walk Scilly returns for 2020 at the beginning of April.

If you're staying with us this spring, take part in a weekend of cookery demonstrations and delicious dining experiences with the Truro School arm of the prestigious Leiths School of Food & Wine Academy.
