The New Inn
About
Nestled on the picturesque west coast of Tresco, The New Inn is the quintessential island retreat where traditional charm meets modern comfort. Guests are welcomed into a heritage inn that boasts 16 recently refurbished en-suite rooms, many offering sweeping sea or countryside views, and a cosy set of communal spaces that celebrate the island’s vibrant cultural life. The inn’s hospitality shines through its signature dining scene – the Driftwood Bar and Pavilion dining room offer a relaxed yet sophisticated menu featuring local produce and a distinctive Tresco twist. Daily continental and cooked breakfasts are included, and the adjoining beer garden provides an ideal spot to unwind with a pint while watching the harbor’s ebb and flow. Just a stone’s throw from the harbor, guests also receive complimentary access to Tresco Abbey Garden and can enjoy the island’s extensive leisure facilities, including indoor and outdoor pools, a spa, tennis courts and even nearby golf on St Mary’s. With a wealth of experiences – from live music to wildlife tours – The New Inn is a perfect base for exploring the Isles of Scilly. Whether you’re seeking a romantic getaway, a family adventure, or a quiet escape, The New Inn delivers warm island hospitality, award‑winning comfort, and an unforgettable sense of place.
