About Sylina

Sylina is a 4* Gold Award self catering holiday apartment.

Sylina is located in the scenic, quiet, north-west corner of St. Mary’s. It’s an easy and pretty 30-minute walk into Hugh Town and to the quay, to catch boats to the other islands. If you don’t fancy the walk, hop on the local bus which drops you off in time for all the off island boat trips. There is a bus-stop 50m from the front door. You might consider hiring a bike or a Golf Cart to help you explore the many lanes, coves and beaches around St. Mary’s. If you just need to get from A to B you can book a ride with one of the friendly local taxis.

Sylina is a stone’s throw from the coastal path and close to Bar Point, with its secluded and safe white sand beach. Halangy Village and Bant’s Carn, Iron age and  Bronze Age sites of significant national importance are a short stroll away. Time your evening walk to enjoy the stunning sunsets over the island of Samson. You’ll appreciate, too, the fantastic views of Tresco and its Abbey Garden, as well as the islands of St. Martin’s and Bryher.

A quiet 10-minute walk from Sylina will get you to the Golf Club and Juliet’s Garden, both with spectacular views across St. Mary’s Harbour and beyond to St. Agnes and Bishop Rock; a 10-minute walk in the other direction will  bring you to Trenoweth, home to a couple of flower farms, apple orchards, vineyard, and a fantastically safe place for kids to explore camps and rope swings in the woods. A little further on is Pelistry bay, a charming sandy beach popular with visitors and locals alike.

Sylina is owned by Kate and Jeremy who have moved to their beloved Scilly after three decades of happy holiday visits.  They have a wealth of information about how to get the most out of your holiday and are happy to help you plan your days accordingly. Kate Jeremy and their daughter Ellie, live on site – not that you’ll notice them, as their home and garden have separate access. But you’ll be safe in the knowledge that if you need any help or assistance whilst on your holidays, they’re right there for you.
