The Beeches Hotel & Elemis Day Spa

There are just four rooms in this elegant Georgian Manor house, close to the enchanting port of Charlestown on the South Cornwall coast, offering acres of space and the most luxurious home from home imaginable.

Saunter down for breakfast and the chef will fix you a smoothie while you discuss what you want whipped up for your breakfast. The Sensory Bistro Lounge serves classic food from Cornish cream teas in the gardens, or a hot buttered toasted tea cake by the roaring log fire, to mouthwatering lunches like fresh scallops and king prawns, with a drop of Chablis or Sancerre.

The Elemis Premier Day spa with its five treatment rooms and knowledgeable staff offers plenty of diversion onsite, but you need stroll only a stone's throw to find a picturesque harbour often used in film productions due to the famous fleet of tall ships moored there. The beach is approximately 500 yards from your door with breath-taking cliff top walks to Porthpean and Carlyon Bay, while The Eden Project is a short drive away. Go on, indulge your senses.
