tia

Years ago we stayed in a cottage on TResco which was in a row of possibly 6? which had a shared outdoor pool. Loved it - it was my last family holiday - I was 16 and it was gorgeous. No idea of the company, but there really can't be that many on Tresco??

Bea,check the archives.
Lots of info.
Dinny is a Scillonian (?) too.
I am planning a trip there for ny 40th next year.

which island, Bea?

yes, that is right, Moondog (Scillonian, that is!)
just back from home, was fab, very crap being back!

lol that she turned up so fast!

i went ot tresco

Bobsmum, the whole of Tresco is run by a lessor, under the name of Tresco Estates. They also now run Hell Bay Hotel on Bryher. So self-catering (o hotels) on Tresco can be found here

here is the tourist info site for the islands - all accommodation listed and they will send you availability lists of accomm on request. here

sorry, first link went wrong \link(www.tresco.co.uk\Tresco}

ggggrrrr, last try!

thanks all! i did an archive search and have been looking at the tresco site... looks lovely!

have to get my skates on now and try and figure out.... where, how, when and could i muster the energy to drag an 11 month old (due in oct!)all teh way over there (will also have a 6 and 3 year old in tow... not to mention dh!!!)

will keep looking and please do add more if you can think of anything else!!!!

you must go, Bea, it's the best place in the world. going to try and do a pic of me and dd on the beach there last week... will out your name in thread title, look out!

Bea, Tresco is THE most fantastic place. Went there on my honeymoon, going back next year.
Watching this thread with interest.

Lucky you Dinny, did you grow up there?
Love the little yellow shells on the beach.
DH went every year as a child. Enid Blyton style holidays.

have done you a thread, Bea...

Where are you staying, MrsNoah? Be cryptic if you like, lol...

Don't forget to pack some Michael Morpurgo for the six year old bea. Ds read The Wreck of the Zanzibar and Why the Wales Came this summer and is now desperate to visit Bryher and Sansom...

my sister was in Why The Wales came, Marina (wih lovely Dexter - they all got food poisoning during filming, iirc)!

Seeing the film is next on our list dinny. Would that be Dexter Fletcher, by any chance? [drool]

yeah, we all were soooo into him, he came to our school assembly when they wre filming, lol

Havent booked anywhere yet. in fact was discussing it with DH tonight. Must get on with it.
On honeymoon we stayed at Inn. The Girls rowing team were in the bar and were quite pissed (looked like they were having a hoot)! Were you one of them I wonder???

Only just read Why the whales came a couple of months ago myself.. wonderful book.

Sorry Bea, not helping much.

I even sat through bloody awful Caravaggio for him you know.

MrsNoah, which gig team - Czar, Men-a-vaur...?

Nah, I'm from St Mary's, would always be Bonnet!

Sounds like there'll be a MN contingent on Scilly next summer - must do a meet in the Mermaid...

Serica - all the way.

We stayed in Holy Vale on St Marys - not sure if they still rent though. Several other places as well but was a few years ago now.

Just found a web site - scillyonline.com that might be useful?

Dont know.
I do remember I nearly collapsed cycling up the only hill in St Mary's heavily pg on rented bicycle.
Dh chose a nifty looking mountain bike with 42 gears and I chose sweet Vicar's wife style bicycle with basket on front... it was crap!

lol I used to end up always trying to cycle back up that hill just as school was kicking out and getting caught up with all the kids.

loads of self-catering, booked up ages in dvance, most of it (my M & D have accomm but alway rebooked for most of the season each year)/

here's the tourist info site IOS
