An October with a difference

Whilst we deem September as the secret summer, October is a greater secret still. The island is quiet, the end of the season is in sight but the winter weather is yet to arrive. Tresco is alive with autumn colour in the form of Kniphofia (Red Hot Poker) and Amaryllis belladonna, not forgetting the beautiful heather and Pampas grasses.

It is a time of year that feels peaceful and reflective, as we consider the season just past and look forward to the colder, festive period ahead. With empty beaches at your disposal and the New Inn to cosy up in, October on Tresco is like no other.

If it is days spent exploring in the crisp air and evenings cosied up by the log burner that you're after, book an October stay on Tresco. We still have cottages available throughout the month and each spot is full of different quirks that will make for the perfect autumnal escape. Whether that's a private garden perfect for a morning coffee, a window overlooking the distinctive Monterey Cypress trees and dramatic sea and sky in the distance, or a log burner and sofas for all the family to pore over a puzzle, an autumnal break never looked better.

Whilst you're looking at the possibilities October has to offer on Tresco, why not glance over the events page and see what takes your fancy? Better still, have a look at the breaks on offer; from yoga to the two island break, there is plenty to get stuck into throughout our favourite autumnal month.
