Ivy Cottage

This is a cottage with an easy, old-island charm. From the lane, Ivy feels wonderfully rooted in the character of Tresco — close to neighbouring cottages, winding paths and the gentle comings and goings of island life. Walk one way, and you’ll soon reach the dunes and white sands of Green Porth; wander the other, and New Grimsby, The New Inn and Gallery Tresco are all within easy reach.

Inside, Ivy is cosy, relaxed and made for simple holiday living. The open-plan lounge and dining room is the heart of the cottage, with space to gather around the table after a day outdoors or settle beside the log burner when the evenings turn cooler. The kitchen is tucked a little further into the cottage, keeping the living space calm and homely.

Ivy sleeps five across three bedrooms, making it a lovely choice for families or smaller groups. A single bedroom and shower room downstairs offer useful flexibility, while upstairs there is a king master bedroom, a twin room with zip-linked beds that can be arranged as a superking by prior request, and a family bathroom.

Outside, the cottage opens into a hidden private garden at the back of the property - a pretty stretch of lawn and patio surrounded by unusual greenery thriving in Tresco’s mild, maritime climate. It is a peaceful place for morning coffee, barbecues, children’s games or a quiet hour with a book after the beach.

Cosy, colourful and beautifully placed, Ivy Cottage is a classic Dolphin Town retreat for those who want character, convenience and one of Tresco’s loveliest beaches just five minutes from the door.
