“The Dock Inn strikes me as exceptionally well-situated, particularly for those heading to the Isles of Scilly; I appreciate that it's right across from the ferry. I also like that the rooms are above a lively pub, yet maintain a quiet, comfortable atmosphere. In-room breakfast, a definite plus, seems a particularly cozy touch, especially with harbor views.”
