Wow! What a place to stay

We stay here with family after a busy wedding week. Could not have picked a better place to set up camp and relax. Everything was perfect and Annabel was amazing in arranging, communicating with us throughout.

Lovely home in Kingsand ❤️

The Blue Monkey is a beautiful and very comfortable home, with some gorgeously extravagant touches (best baths!) We loved using the wood burner and the very generously supplied logs. It’s a really lovely place to stay. They’ve thought of everything and I thoroughly recommend it.

Couldn't have been better.

Property was spotless and very tastefully decorated. Little touches to greet us on arrival such as the scones, jam and clotted cream were much appreciated. A beautiful house in a lovely location.

Short break at Blue Monkey

We enjoyed our stay very much. Very well equipped for our younger family members, 3 under 1s. The location was perfect ,close to the sea and the car park is very close. Good pubs very near by. Very happy memories made around the kitchen table. Safe outdoor space, beautiful plants. Thank you Blue Monkey!!

Lovely Stay at Blue Monkey

We had the perfect stay in Blue Monkey in the wonderful village of Cawsand. We loved coming back to the fire on cold days and playing in the sea in the warm ones. Thank you for making the house so welcoming and stylish. We look forward to staying again one day soon. Many thanks. PS Pip and Pocket had a fab holiday!

Blue onkey was welcoming and homely with lots of pleasant touches , the welcome pack was great!

Our holiday included three small connected families - including a nine year old, a toddler and a teenager plus 2 dogs. As the weather was changeable, we made out own entertainment from beachcombing and collecting seaglass to rockpooling, dog walking and exploring the area. As one of our company has been very poorly lately, we were determined to have fun. This involved two pirate nights where we dressed up and generally enjoyed ourselves! Duncan cooked delicious meals including a thai curry and we woke to the smell of freshly baked bread most mornings. We set off with enthusiasm for a longish walk to the Mount Edgecombe estate via Port Picklecombe - the cocker spaniel , Charley, & golden retriever, Sonny ,really relished the walk. The dramatic scenery was spectacular and the mounting storm clouds even more so! Eventually a full-blown electrical storm saw us all running for the cover and warming coffee of the Edgecombe stables coffee shop! Some of our group then chickened out by returning in a taxi! On Monday evening we ordered pizza takeaways from the nearby shop - I think we over ordered but we had cold pizza slices for our beach picnic the next day. A beach we liked was Port Wrinkle - it was warm that day and we all went in for a swim- quite an achievement with ages ranging from 17months to 76. All in all a good holiday - we hope to return to this lovely area and Blue Monkey soon.

Komfortabel ausgestattetes und liebevoll eingerichtetes Haus.

Wir würden Englisch mit Scones und auch einer Flasche Prosecco empfangen. Anabel erkundigte sich nach unserem Befinden. Wir fühlten uns sehr wohl und heimisch.
