Pearl

Set above Old Grimsby, this is a cottage made for easy coastal living. Mornings begin with light across the water, days can drift between beach, boats, tennis and swims, and The Ruin Beach Café is close by for long lunches by the shore. With Hut62 Boat Hire, the Sea Garden Spa facilities and the north coast footpaths all within easy reach, Pearl places some of Tresco’s best-loved island pleasures right on the doorstep.

Inside, the cottage is relaxed, sociable and full of light, with an open-plan kitchen, living and dining space designed for time together. Patio doors draw you towards the sea views throughout the day, whether you are stepping outside with a morning coffee or settling in after a day on the water.

Three comfortable bedrooms offer space to retreat. The master bedroom makes the most of Pearl’s wonderful position, with sea views from the bed towards Blockhouse Castle and the Eastern Isles, while the second bedroom enjoys lovely views over the garden. Flexible zip-linked beds can be arranged as superking or twin by prior request, and an ensuite bathroom and separate shower room make Pearl a practical choice for families or friends sharing the cottage.

Bright, comfortable and wonderfully placed, Pearl is a relaxed coastal base for those who want sea views, island facilities and Old Grimsby’s easy rhythm all close at hand.

If you're feeling energetic, you'll rejoice at the proximity to the Sea Garden tennis courts, indoor pool and Hut62 Boat Hire - or, take an invigorating hike across Tresco’s north coast via Gimble Porth beach.

Those more inclined towards holiday relaxation will want to soak up the sun on the Ruin Beach Café terrace.
