Gem
Like its namesake, this beachfront beauty sparkles atop Tresco’s western shores. Gem’s convenient location places it almost next door to the Flying Boat Bistro, Tresco Stores and the Bike Shop.
The Cottage
The cottage interiors exude coastal cool throughout – living room, kitchen and dining space are all interlinked, and a separate TV room provides a perfect playtime pad for the children. Upstairs, the master bedroom swims in sea blues and turquoises – spend lazy mornings wave-watching from the luxurious king bed. Two further bedrooms are decked out in candy stripes and fun floral prints.
The Location
Temptation comes in the form of the Flying Boat Bistro and its indulgent menu – begin your day with breakfast here to fuel island-wide adventures. When it comes to swimming, you’ll be spoilt for choice, with a tempting indoor pool at the nearby Spa, plus two glistening outdoor pools for hotter days.
Our Favourite Thing
Evenings on the terrace, drinking a G&T, watching the sun sink behind neighbouring island Bryher – just heavenly.

Flying Boat Cottages
You couldn't sleep closer to the ocean if you tried.
Perched proudly atop Farm Beach, these New England style cottages enjoy expansive views across the harbour toward Bishop Rock lighthouse, Bryher's Shipman Head and Cromwell's Castle. Many even have direct access to the safe and sandy beach below. Taking their name from the World War I seaplane base that made this sandy perch their home, today, these beachfront pads are among the islands' finest accommodation.
Situated at the heart of the village, you'll enjoy access to the neighbouring Tresco Island Spa and tennis courts throughout your stay. The Abbey Garden is also yours to explore, just a 20-minute stroll away, or why not head to St Mary's for a round of Gold on surely England's most picturesque course?
The Flying Boat Cottages have been rated Five Star Gold Award by Visit England.
