If you've been watching BBC2's new documentary series An Island Parish, about life on the Isles of Scilly, it's possible the sandy white beaches, turquoise waters and friendly community have inspired you to visit. While making the series, the film crew stayed at the Star Castle (01720 422317) on St Mary's, a family-run, hotel located in a star-shaped castle with an award-winning restaurant. Until 22 March guests can stay four nights for the price of three, costing a total of £380 per person, including helicopter flights from Penzance.
