Location

Cornwall’s unique character comes from its historic landscape and some 400 miles of spectacular coastline. Beersheba Lodge, set in two and a half acres, is one of a group of former farm buildings on the hills above St Ives & Carbis bay. There are panoramic views across open countryside and woodland with, in one direction St Ives Bay to Godrevy Lighthouse and the beaches of Hayle Towans and in the other glimpses of the Atlantic.

Carbis Bay has a lovely beach which rarely has any surf so makes for an ideal spot for families as the sea here is perfect for swimming.
