A lady from St Blazey and her friend have enjoyed a free five night stay on St Mary�s, courtesy of Isles of Scilly Travel and Tregarthen�s Hotel, after winning the prize at a competition at Royal Cornwall Show earlier this year.
Mrs Maureen Moffatt and her friend traveled to St Mary�s with Skybus and enjoyed five days of luxury and relaxation at the hotel.
Tregarthan�s Hotel was founded on 1848 by Captain Frank Tregarthen, who ran the steam packet �Little Western� delivering mail, provisions and visitors between Penzance and the Isles of Scilly. The hotel has played a special role in establishing the Isles of Scilly as an exclusive destination for visitors.
Mrs Moffatt thoroughly enjoyed her stay, she said: �This is the fist time I have ever stayed on the Isles of Scilly and it has been absolutely fantastic. I came here about 30 years ago on a day trip and have always wondered what it would be like to stay here.
�I was very lucky to win the competition and I have had a wonderful time. Everyone has looked after us so well and I can�t fault anything. �
After the success of this trip Isles of Scilly Travel and Tregarthan�s Hotel have teamed up to offer a holiday package, available until the end of October, of a 3 night break with prices starting from as little as �368* per person.
(Flights based on travel from Land�s End Airport and supplements are available from Newquay, Exeter, Bristol and Southampton, dependent on availabitly) please contact Tregarthen�s Hotel on 01720 422 540
