Welcome

Hell Bay is tucked away in a secluded cove facing the Atlantic Ocean on the beautiful, rugged island of Bryher. There can be few hotels in the British Isles that enjoy such a spectacular and picturesque setting. It’s the ultimate place to escape, relax and recharge. 

Set in our own grounds, we have 25 suites, all beautifully appointed with Lloyd Loom furniture and Malabar fabrics. Rooms and public spaces also boast works by some of Cornwall’s leading artists. We have a large terrace, where you can enjoy a long leisurely lunch or drink while taking in the extraordinary views. A sunset deck to take in the stunning sunsets over Gweal Hill.
