Ideally located for exploring the many
attractions of Cornwall and West Devon

Beechwood holiday cottages are situated in the quiet village of St Ive surrounded by beautiful countryside on the edge of Bodmin Moor and are within easy reach of the sandy beaches and spectacular cliff walks of the north and south coasts. The world famous Eden Project and the fascinating Lost Gardens of Heligan are approximately a 30 minute drive.

The fishing villages of Looe and Polperro, where you can enjoy sandy beaches as well as deep sea fishing trips, are a short drive from St Ive. The coastal path with its stunning sea views leads eastwards from Looe to Seaton beach and, for keen walkers, on to the Rame peninsula and Mount Edgcumbe House and Country Park in the 'forgotten corner of Cornwall'. Westwards from Looe, the coastal paths leads to Polperro and to Polruan from which you can cross by ferry to Fowey (home of Daphne du Maurier).

The golf course at Bindown, Looe has panoramic sea views and St Mellion International Golf Course with its famous Jack Nicklaus course is within easy reach of Beechwood Cottages.

The nearby Bodmin Moor, home of the legendary Jamaica Inn, is justly renowned for the beauty of its vast expanses of rugged moorland and magnificent granite tors and its wealth of prehistoric and more recent mining remains. The Mining Heritage Centre at the old mining village of Minions, is well worth a visit, as are the ancient burial chamber at Trethevy Quoit, the Cheesewring and the prehistoric standing stones, The Hurlers.

There are numerous National Trust properties locally including Buckland Abbey, Cotehele and Lanhydrock. Tintagel Castle of King Arthur fame (English Heritage) perched on the cliffs on the North coast is also a popular day out.
