The Two Island Break

1st - 18th October 2025
Discover the ultimate October escape with our island-hopping Two Island Break across Bryher and Tresco.

Begin your escape with a stay at The New Inn or a Sea Garden Apartment on our neighbouring island of Tresco. Soak up the best the island has to offer – from the world-famous Abbey Garden and soothing Island Spa, to the wild northern headlands and the shimmering, mica-dusted beaches of the south.

Then hop over to Bryher, just a short boat ride away. There, tucked into the island’s rugged west coast, you’ll find Hell Bay Hotel – Scilly’s highest-rated hotel; a peaceful haven of fresh sea air, dramatic scenery, and total tranquillity.

New for 2025 – Bring Your Four-Legged Friend

If you’re bringing your four-legged friend, be sure to book a Sea Garden Apartment on Tresco – they’re dog-friendly throughout October (Hell Bay Hotel is dog-friendly throughout the year). Find out more about getting here with your dog on our Dog-Friendly Stays page.

 

The Two Island Break – Tresco

Your break starts with two nights on Tresco, where you’ll have the option to stay at The New Inn or in a Sea Garden Apartment. Wherever you choose to stay, you’ll enjoy complimentary access to the renowned Tresco Abbey Garden, the serene Island Spa, and bike hire to explore the island at your own pace.

Fill your days with coastal walks, peaceful garden strolls, or a revitalising swim – the perfect island escape. In the evenings, savour wood-fired flavours at the Ruin Beach Café or enjoy comforting classics at The New Inn’s own Driftwood Bar and Pavilion dining room.

Choose between two unique ways to experience the beauty of Tresco…

Stay at The New Inn, where your island escape includes a hearty breakfast each morning. Recently refurbished and just steps from the harbour, The New Inn offers stylish rooms – many with sea or countryside views – and a welcoming Sleeper’s Lounge for unwinding with a book or board game.

Or, opt for a more independent stay in a Sea Garden Apartment. Set just above the shoreline with spectacular sea views, these light and airy apartments offer all the comforts of home, with the freedom of self-catering. Travelling with a dog? The Sea Garden Apartments are dog-friendly throughout October, so your four-legged friend can come along for the adventure.

Whichever option you choose, your time on Tresco promises coastal walks, garden wanderings, and moments of pure relaxation — before you hop across to Bryher for the next chapter of your Two Island Break.

The Two Island Break – Bryher

Next, take a short boat ride across to join us on Bryher – Tresco’s smaller, more rugged, and dramatically beautiful neighbour. Here you’ll find Hell Bay Hotel, a peaceful and secluded retreat nestled on the island’s wild western edge.

As the Isles of Scilly’s highest-rated hotel and restaurant, Hell Bay is renowned for its 3 AA Rosette dining. Head Chef Richard and his team craft seasonal menus celebrating the best island produce. Prefer something more relaxed? Enjoy a comforting bar meal before retreating to your suite or settling in with a book to watch the changing skies from the Lookout Lounge.

Each morning begins with a delicious Hell Bay breakfast overlooking the tranquil Great Pool. Spend your days walking Bryher’s varied coastline, savouring leisurely lunches on the terrace when the autumn sun shines, or sharing a romantic moment wrapped in a blanket on the sunset deck with a glass of fizz in hand.

While some Bryher businesses may have reduced hours in October, the hotel remains fully open and with stunning walks, peaceful beaches, and daily boat links to Tresco, there’s always something to discover.
