The sun has started to shine, the flowers are blooming, and there is still time to get to Tresco for one of the best times of year! Below are five of our favourite cottages for the ideal May escape. Whether you're looking to book a last-minute surprise for your loved one or feel that your extended family need an excuse to get together, there are plenty of beautiful cottages to stay in...
Raven
18th - 25th May
Surrounded by one of the most beautiful garden walls we have ever seen (it's just coming into full bloom at this time of year), featuring a large sheltered private garden, and just a few steps away from the golden sands of Raven's Porth and the Ruin Beach Café, Raven Cottage has everything you need for a perfect May getaway.
Considered interiors, a peppering of antique furnishings, and absorbing original artwork all add to its character. Four light, roomy bedrooms, a vast oak-floored lounge and a modern kitchen combine to create a stylish holiday spot.
Sophie
27th May - 3rd June - Half Term Week
Live life according to the tide at Sophie, one of our beachfront Flying Boat cottages. The seafront terrace beckons for alfresco dining and refreshing sundowners while the children play on the beach below.
Inside, the cottage sleeps eight people across four rooms, enjoying incredible ocean views from the living room and master bedroom, which also enjoys its own private balcony.
Merrick
14th - 21st & 21st - 28th May
Family-friendly Merrick is settled just above the white sands of Farm Beach. Sleeping eight, it enjoys sea views and proximity to the shop and spa.
From time to time you’ll even have friendly neighbours in the field next door – the island’s herd of cattle!
Watch House
31st May - 7th June
Picture perfect Watch House stands proudly atop Ravens Porth, with some of the best views on the island from its resplendent sunroom.
Upstairs, a cluster of cosy bedrooms provides space for eight, with the sea views from the master bedroom stealing the show.
Farmhouse
20th - 27th May
Encircled by lawns and lush, floral borders, Farmhouse is perfect for larger groups embarking on an island adventure.
With views across the Atlantic to the uninhabited island of Samson, it is simultaneously coastal and central. The stores and spa are on your doorstep and the exotic walkways of the world-famous Abbey Garden are just a five-minute cycle from the cottage gate.
