Just 28 miles off the coast of Cornwall, the Isles of Scilly offer a world apart from everyday life. Endless white sandy beaches, rocky coves and stunning seascapes let you wind back the clock to a more carefree time of simple pastimes and pleasures.

You can win a piece of this unspoilt paradise with a three- night break for two on the island of St Mary’s, courtesy of Mincarlo guest house and Adventure Scilly.

The laidback and friendly Mincarlo guest house sits in a quiet corner of the bay overlooking St Mary’s Harbour. Start the day at Mincarlo with a homemade breakfast, made using fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. Come and go as you please – take one of the local boats to another island, explore St Mary’s by foot or bicycle, sit on the terrace in the evening sun and simply take in the stunning surroundings. At Mincarlo, you can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere and a warm welcome, with breathtaking views.

Your prize also includes return Skybus flights from Land’s End airport, courtesy of Isles of Scilly Travel. Flying over to Scilly on an eight or 19-seater Skybus takes just 15
minutes and is a unique way to visit this special destination.
