Dial Rocks

Set above the curve of New Grimsby harbour, Dial Rocks is a light, welcoming cottage with far-reaching views across Tresco Sound towards Samson and the neighbouring islands.

At A Glance

Alongside its whitewashed neighbours, the cottage enjoys a wonderful lookout position — close to the harbour, Gallery Tresco and The New Inn, yet lifted just enough to feel peaceful and set apart. From here, the island unfolds below you: boats moving across the water, tides shifting through the channel, and the soft silhouette of uninhabited Samson framed by the windows.

Inside, Dial Rocks is bright, relaxed and easy to settle into, with cool coastal blues, hardwood floors and a generous open-plan living and dining space. There are plenty of corners for different holiday rhythms: somewhere to read, somewhere to cook, somewhere to gather by the log burner after a day on the water.

The cottage sleeps up to six across three bedrooms, with a double sofa bed available on request. The downstairs bedroom has its own sweeping ensuite, while upstairs bedrooms feel light and generous, with views that bring the island close. One favourite room looks directly towards Samson — a simple, beautiful reminder of where you are from the moment you wake.

Outside, the garden gives Dial Rocks much of its charm. Patio space and sloping lawn are wrapped in exotic greenery, creating a sheltered place for slow breakfasts, sunny afternoons or a quiet drink as the harbour settles into evening. To the front, the sun deck makes the most of the cottage’s elevated position and open outlook.

Comfortable, characterful and wonderfully placed, Dial Rocks is a classic New Grimsby cottage for those who love harbour views, garden space and island life within easy reach.

Our Favourite Thing

The garden - a fusion of patio space and sloping lawn, encircled by a halo of exotic greenery. And don't forget the sun-deck out front!
