Ivy Cottage is set in the heart of the quiet Cornish village of Tregurrian. Whilst only a short walk to Watergate Bay and a short car journey away from the hustle and bustle of the major tourist resort of Newquay, Tregurrian itself is within five miles of attractions, scenery, sports facilities and historic sites to satisfy the needs of most holidaymakers.
For those of you who are happy to look beyond the five miles, a radius of twenty miles will take you to every attraction Cornwall has to offer.
