The Cottage
This beachy escape has marine-themed hints throughout, from shelves of sea treasures in the master bedroom, dinner plates adorned with painted lobsters and mackerel, and graduated shades of blue across fabrics, furnishings and the exposed beams in the open plan lounge and dining space.
Featuring three double or twin bedrooms, plus a separate TV room with sofabed, Driftwood is an ideal base for a family escape.
Our Favourite Thing
The long stretch of kitchen, lounge and dining space leads you through to glorious picture windows at the end, with transfixing views across to Blockhouse Castle.

Facilities
Our cottages are well-equipped with a comprehensive inventory, which includes kitchen appliances and equipment, bathrobes, hair dryers, and an outdoor BBQ with tools. Bathrooms come complete with a trio of Ren miniatures.
This property comes equipped with a dishwasher. There is no washing machine at the property, however laundry facilities are available centrally with a small cost payable per load.
Very well equipped and beautifully decorated and furnished. Love the views, the gardens and the privacy. Very comfortable. Well positioned for walks to the Ruin Beach Café. Having the swimming pool next door is another bonus. The Sautelle-Smith family
The Location
The cottage is set amongst an array of colourful blooms in our Sea Gardens, at Old Grimsby. Stroll across the lawn to Tresco’s iconic crab seats and spend a tranquil afternoon watching the waters of Old Grimsby harbour.
A sunny lunch on the Ruin Beach Café terrace is a must – the seafood sharing platter is exquisite!
