Morva on Porthcressa: Island living in a cozy cottage retreat
Porthcressa Beach is a charming, sheltered cove located in Hugh Town on St Mary's, the largest island in the Isles of Scilly. This small, sandy beach is framed by low cliffs and faces east, offering calm, clear waters ideal for swimming and paddling.
It’s a popular spot for locals and visitors alike, with its gentle curve of golden sand and proximity to the town’s amenities. The beach is known for its tranquil atmosphere, scenic views, and occasional sightings of seals or seabirds, making it a delightful coastal gem in the archipelago.
The Cottage
Picture a white washed Scillonian Cottage with brightly coloured flowers in the garden and a view straight out to sea, then you’ll know what Morva looks like!
Morva oozes charm and character and is a gorgeous cottage from where to enjoy your stay, across the road from Porthcressa Beach, just five minutes walk to the town and then just a few minutes on to the main harbour where you get the boats to all the other islands from.

Comprising five inhabited islands — St. Mary's, Tresco, St. Martin's, Bryher, and St. Agnes, and many uninhabited islands, this small cluster of islands is renowned for its stunning natural beauty, mild climate, and tranquil atmosphere.
The Isles boast crystal-clear waters, white sandy beaches, and a rich history dating back to the Bronze Age, with ancient burial mounds and shipwreck sites dotting the landscape. A haven for wildlife, the islands attract birdwatchers, divers, and nature enthusiasts, while their charming villages offer a peaceful escape.
