Chris, my wife, and I have fallen in love with The Scilly Islands - which for those who don't know, are about 30 miles into the Atlantic off the South West tip of England. We fly there by helicopter (how else!) and we stay the night before the flight in the lovely town of Penzance in Cornwall.
We have discovered a small hotel there, The Camilla House, which is exceptional. Susan and Simon Chapman gave up the rat race in London and moved to Penzance four years ago and they have just finished refurbishing the hotel up to their very high standards. It's very special.
So A Golden Helicopter Award goes to the Camilla House.
On a similar vein I've now stayed at two Shire Hotels in the UK- indeed we ran a recent Professional Speakers Association National Meeting at their Leeds hotel and it's a similar story of service. The staff simply cannot do enough for you, the facilities are excellent .and the food exceptional - and how many hotel chains can you say that about?
A Golden Helicopter Award then to Shire Hotels also.

We've added a link to your post. We're doing research on the Camilla House in Penzance, and I hope you don't mind that we added your post to our list of sources. We're working hard to create a guide to the best independently owned hotels around the world for budget-minded travelers.
