Peninnis Sunset.jpg

Carntop is a modern Guest House, located on the outskirts of Hugh Town, the ‘capital’ of St Marys. It’s a five minute walk from the town centre, and a few minutes further to the quay, where daily boats leave for the off-islands. Also a few minutes from Old Town, or Peninnis headland and lighthouse.

About Us

We (Nick & Angela Jenkins ) moved to Scilly in 2004, having rebuilt a bungalow originally built in the 1950’s for Nick’s grandparents. We both worked for Barclays Bank for over 20 years, and decided it was time for a change. We have now been running the Guest House for over twenty years, and still enjoy meeting new guests, as well as welcoming back others who return year on year.

 

Nick’s family came to Scilly over four hundred years ago, Angela’s first visit with Nick was over forty years ago, and so we are able, and happy, to give our guests a local insight. Our aim is for all visitors to feel at home, and to have a relaxing and memorable holiday.
