The Cottage

Cocooned within a cluster of woodland, Smugglers is a peaceful, secluded retreat. Its traditional décor and quintessential cottage feel will suit those who remember childhood holidays on Tresco. As night falls, stoke up the log fire and relax in the snug lounge.

Smugglers has ample garden space, with an enclosed lawn ideal for playful family afternoons, and a courtyard garden hidden behind the property.

Our Favourite Thing

The ‘secret’ gateway from the back of the garden, through the trees, and out onto the banks beyond. Discovering this sea view will blow you away.
