The Cottage
A series of stone steps take you down from the road and through copious garden space towards the property. Wood floors throughout and light furnishings give it an airy feel. The ground floor boasts a cook’s kitchen with island, dining room, and a living room ensconced towards the back, all encircled by outdoor patio space.
Upstairs, two bedrooms and a family bathroom line the front of the property, while the triple aspect ensuite master bedroom might be our favourite spot.
Our Favourite Thing
The master bedroom and its ensuite bathroom both overlook New Grimsby and the Tresco channel.

It’s still the best cottage on the island! Well appointed, roomy, large garden, stunning views, private, detached, close to all amenities yet still tranquil. The Tippens
The Location
Amble down the hill to the New Inn and enjoy a cold beer in its sunny beer garden – even better, take a glass down to the sea wall beyond and watch boats come and go as you sip away.
Exit Townshill through the back garden gate and follow the track towards the rugged north end of the island – the terrain here is altogether different and features two ruined castles to explore.
