Morva on Porthcressa
Situated on St Mary's, the largest island on the archipelago Morva is the perfect base to explore this unique holiday destination, known for its mild climate, abundant wildlife, incredible scenery and unspoilt beaches. The island also features ancient Bronze Age burial sites, a 16th-century castle, stunning coastal walks and a picturesque harbour.
Porthcressa Beach is just steps from Morva’s front door. This beautiful sandy beach faces east, offering sunrise views and calm, clear waters ideal for swimming, snorkelling and paddling, with its gentle curve of golden sand and proximity to local cafes, pubs and shops. The beach is known for its tranquil atmosphere, scenic views, and frequent sightings of seals or seabirds.
The Cottage
Picture yourself in this traditional whitewashed granite Scillonian cottage beautifully appointed with all the modern comforts, waking up to a spectacular ocean view or perhaps sitting in the beautiful garden to enjoy a morning coffee or a glass of wine while taking in the stunning views straight out to sea.
Morva oozes charm and character and is a gorgeous spot to enjoy the Scillonian lifestyle. Metres from the golden sands of Porthcressa Beach, and just a five minute walk to the town, and then just a few minutes more to the main harbour for boat tours and day trips to the off islands.
“We had a fabulous 2 weeks here, our 7th visit to the Isles of Scilly. This has been the most comfortable cottage by far and the views out-standing”
Isles of Scilly
The Isles of Scilly are a picturesque archipelago located 28 miles southwest of Cornwall, England. 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.
