The islands of Tresco and Bryher are two of five inhabited islands of the Isles of Scilly, found 29 miles south west of Lands End.

Due to the prevailing effects of the Gulf Stream, climate is mild, with sunshine hours generally greater than the UK average, rainfall less, and winter frost and snow unexpected.

Tresco can be reached from the British mainland by helicopter, fixed-wing aircraft or ship. The scheduled helicopter service flies direct to both Tresco and St Mary's: the other services go to St Mary's only, with a launch connection. Advance booking is essential.

Once on Tresco you will taken by tractor-bus to your accommodation or New Grimsby quay - for the boat trip to Bryher, and for the duration of your holiday you will enjoy a car-free lifestyle. The only vehicles on Tresco are those owned by the Tresco Estate which service the accommodation, farms and woodland.

"it may prove difficult to leave ....... the traditional bar is packed with nautical memorabilia ....... lounges have a friendly, bustling ambience ..... serving traditional favourites ...... bedrooms are simple, well-kept and comfortable."
