Starfish
Set above Old Grimsby on Tresco’s eastern shore, Starfish looks out across the harbour towards Blockhouse Castle and the scattered isles beyond - a view that feels both open and gently sheltered.

The Cottage
The open-plan kitchen and dining space sits at the heart of the cottage, while the sitting room offers a calm place to retreat to at the end of the day, the log burner lit and the last of the light fading outside. Contemporary finishes sit easily alongside maritime touches, artwork and antiques, giving the space a relaxed sense of character.
Sleeping eight, Starfish works well for families or friends sharing time together. Three comfortable bedrooms - a master superking and two twins that can be arranged as superkings - are paired with a generous living space that feels both sociable and easy. A sofa bed is available on request for a little extra flexibility.
Outside, the cottage settles naturally into its setting. A terrace and balcony offer places to step out into the day - coffee in the morning light, or a quiet moment looking out across the harbour - while the Sea Garden lawns and shoreline lie just beyond, opening everything out.
Our Favourite Thing

The Location
The Ruin Beach Café, sailing school and indoor pool are all close at hand, making it easy to dip in and out of island life as you choose.
But it’s the balance that stays with you - light and shelter, openness and calm a-nd that ever-present sense of the sea, just beyond the edge of things.
