Wake up in a comfy bed, peaceful breakfast surrounded by the sounds of nature, then a wander through quiet woods to get to the coast… well, that’s the dream, isn’t it? Actually, it’s also a very realistic option at Beersheba Farm, a gorgeous Cornwall hideaway 10 minutes’ drive from St Ives and just over a mile from the coast at Carbis Bay. There’s heaps of space around the glamping pods here (five acres of fab wildlife-filled space, in fact) and a nifty design feature allows you to open up the sides of the pod so you can lie in bed to gaze up through the leafy canopy at the sunrise/sunset/stars beyond or set your sights further with glimpses of the bay and Godrevy Lighthouse. Inside each pod is comfy sleeping space, LED lighting and USB charging points; cosiness is ensured with an insulated roof, carpet underfoot and warm panelling. It’s the outdoor space where you’re likely to want to spend much of your time, though – each pod has a sheltered outdoor kitchen, a picnic table and a firepit with tripod grill for your alfresco feasts. A shared fridge and washing-up sink are nearby, and the site has fire-making materials to buy and lots of kitchen kit to hire. Given the gorgeous surrounds, it’s no surprise to hear that eco matters are taken seriously here: each pod has its own dedicated washroom with a state-of-the-art waterless toilet (rigorously cleaned between bookings) and a private shower with eco-friendly toiletries provided.

Camping pod (pet friendly)

Liked: Calm environment sleeping under the canopy of the trees with a roaring firepit and escaping from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Warm showers and private toilet cubicle. Andrew was so friendly and inviting. The landpod offered privacy and only 5 pods on site so not crowded at all. Enjoyed walking through the woods in the dark and feeling safe . Just under 10 minutes drive to Hayle. Our pup was made to feel just as welcome as we were. So much better than pitching up a tent.

Local attractions

Glimpses of the sea from the site mean that it’s likely your first port of call will be the coast… walk through the woods down to the beach at Carbis Bay, just over a mile away, or pack into the car for the 10-minute drive to St Ives or Hayle. The South West Coast Path is a tiptop option for lengthy sea-view hikes, and there are plenty of bike routes along this stretch of coast too. Got some other activities in mind? St Ives and Hayle have rich pickings of surf schools, kayak and paddleboard hire places and fishing trips, and pony treks around the farm and woodland can be organised with a stable half a mile away. St Michael’s Mount is a 15-minute drive south. The beaches are really rather lovely but there’s more to this part of the world than its coastline alone: artsy types will want to take wanders around the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden and Tate St Ives (both 10 minutes’ drive), while animal-mad nippers might like to visit Paradise Park (10 minutes) to meet red pandas, pygmy goats and penguins and ride the Jungle Express train.
