The New Inn is a natural base for exploring Tresco and the wider Isles of Scilly. Walk straight from the door to beaches, coastal paths and the Abbey Garden, or head down to the quay for a boat to neighbouring islands.
Back at the inn, the Driftwood Bar is a favourite gathering place for islanders and visitors alike, while the light-filled Pavilion is made for relaxed dining by the sea.
Upstairs, many of the rooms have sea or countryside views, with Hypnos beds, walk-in rainfall showers or deep baths, 100 Acres toiletries, fresh coffee and other thoughtful touches.
Downstairs, the Sleepers’ Sitting Room offers a quieter place to settle in, with a log burner during the cooler months.
Breakfast is included with every stay, while the AA Rosette kitchen serves relaxed, well-cooked food with a distinctly island feel. Much of the menu makes use of Tresco Farm produce, from island-reared beef to homegrown vegetables, alongside ingredients sourced from growers and fishers across Scilly and West Cornwall, changing naturally with the seasons.
Guests also enjoy complimentary entry to Tresco Abbey Garden and access to Tresco’s spa and leisure facilities throughout their stay.
The New Inn holds 4-star Gold awards from VisitEngland and the AA and has been named among The Times’ 100 Best Places to Stay in the UK.
