The New Inn
“Superb food, excellent service and stunning scenery...”
|
|
Perched above the harbour of New Grimsby, looking across the narrow channel to the island of Bryher...
Upstairs there are sixteen en-suite double bedrooms, with space for young children. The inn also has its own outdoor heated swimming pool. Guests in the evening can look forward to a first class culinary experience in the restaurant, prefaced, perhaps, by an aperitif in the Resident’s Bar. The seafood is wonderful, fresh and locally caught; the beef, much of it reared on Tresco, is famously tender.
There are many special events with Real Ale festivals in May and September, visiting musicians throughout the year and even a Guy Fawkes evening in November.
Such is its popularity that the New Inn stays open all year. Guests who visit the island out of season have the opportunity to see the massing of migrant birds, witness whole fields of narcissi flowering while the mainland shivers, or experience the full exciting force of a winter storm from the sanctuary of the cosy bar. The warmth of an island Christmas is truly magical.
