With the Scillonian steamship making regular departures just metres away on Penzance harbourside, The Dolphin Tavern is an ideal resting point for travellers to or from the magical Isles of Scilly. Just 28 miles off the Cornish coast, a visit to these stunning, sub-tropical islands is like a visit to another world.
