The Duchy of Cornwall aims to provide unique opportunities to stay in attractive period properties in beautiful locations. Drawing on diverse skills within the Duchy, each property will be comprehensively refurbished, furnished and equipped to respect the style and age of the building.At The Guard House we have retained the services of a leading interior designer to create an exclusive and comfortable base to explore the islands. The Guard House is located within the Garrison walls on St Mary’s, the largest of the Isles of Scilly. A perfect base for exploring the unrivalled natural beauty of the islands. The Isles of Scilly provide an ideal holiday setting, free from the bustle of modern life. Unspoilt quiet beaches, tropical plants, magnificent views, historic buildings and a slower pace of life captivate all visitors who return year after year.The Guard House nestles against the Elizabethan Garrison walls and has a private garden terrace, formerly a cannon battery, with panoramic views of the harbour and islands of Samson, Bryher, Tresco and St Martins. Garden furniture, and barbecue are provided.The Guard House was constructed in the early 17th century and as the name suggests, was originally constructed adjacent to the main gated entrance to the fortified garrison area.The interior of the cottage has been carefully refurbished to retain the traditional character of the property whilst providing a beautifully furnished and equipped base for an enjoyable holiday.The slate flagged porch leads to the open plan kitchen, dining area and sitting room which occupies the entire ground floor of the Guard House.
