If you love 'Cornwall with Caroline Quentin'..

'Cornwall with Caroline Quentin' on ITV1 has drawn a big audience in 2012. If you've been enjoying the programme, why not make St Ives your holiday destination this year?

Arguably the jewel in the crown of this beautiful county, St Ives boasts magnificent sandy beaches, stunning coastal scenery, a world-famous arts scene and some of the best restaurants in the land.

Add to that a mild climate (with the highest temperatures in the UK), a picture-perfect harbour, twisting cobbled streets, and a Mediterranean-hued sea right on your doorstep, and you can understand why visitors return again and again.

If the freedom and comfort of luxury self-catering appeals to you, Blue Horizon is a great base for exploring St Ives and West Cornwall. Its idyllic location overlooking Porthmeor Beach, is close to the coastpath and within a few minutes' walk of St Ives town centre.

Stunning sea views, free parking right outside, and an almost traffic-free road all add to the appeal.

It does tend to book up quickly though, so to be sure of the St Ives holiday or short break you want, don't leave it too late! We hope to see you soon.

Banish the winter blues in St Ives!

For some years now, St Ives has firmly established itself as a true 'year round' holiday destination with a lively atmosphere from January right through to December.

So, why not beat the crowds and grab a bargain by treating yourself to a luxury winter break by the sea?

Exploring Heligan

A 40 minute drive from St Ives takes you to what BBC Gardeners' World viewers have voted the nation's favourite garden.

It's 20 years since the Lost Gardens of Heligan were rediscovered, and if you've not been, we'd highly recommend it.

A foodie's paradise!

If the fresh sea air isn't enough to whet your appetite on holiday in St Ives, the local menus surely will.

Although Blue Horizon is equipped with everything you need to prepare just about any meal in style, one of the great advantages of self-catering accommodation for many people is the freedom to explore local eateries.
