Blue Monkey Cornwall Reviews 

Our stay in Blue Monkey was fabulous. The house is great, very comfortable, scrupulously clean and excellently equipped. The courtyard garden was lovely with colourful plants, outdoor furniture and gas BBQ.
We were three generations and 2 dogs fully occupying the house and there was plenty of room for everyone. The games and toys provided were a very nice touch. We all had great fun on the kayaks, paddle boards, body boards and the grandchildren also enjoyed rock pooling with the little fishing nets all provided.
There’s something for everyone in Kingsand/Cawsand with beaches, plenty of walks, good pubs and a fun ferry ride over to Plymouth if the fancy takes.
Blue Monkey provided an excellent information package with everything you needed to know and more before your stay.
I would thoroughly recommend.

Blue Monkey is breathtaking; the bedrooms were super cosy and comfortable, the living rooms were spacious and accommodating but the kitchen was just exceptional! It had everything we could ever need.
Location-wise, it cannot be beaten! The sea, the coffee shops and the Cornish beer all on your doorstep… literally!
We’ve already booked our return visit and we simply cannot wait.
As our 2 year old said ‘I love the monkey house!’

Blue Monkey is a luxurious, stylish and well-equipped house, perfectly located in the heart of Cawsand, a stone's throw from the beach and great local pubs. The beds and sofas are comfortable, and the kitchen has everything you could ever need. Can highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at blue monkey.
Very comfortable & cosy, everything you could want from a self catering accommodation.
The bathrooms were a luxurious experience

The Blue Monkey is a charming and perfectly maintained holiday house. It has been thoughtfully equipped to enable the greatest joy and ease possible for any guest's stay.

We had a very cosy winter break at Blue Monkey and would highly recommend it for couples, families and groups of friends alike. The booking process was very easy and the manager was lovely to deal with. Lots of beautiful coastal walks to do straight from the house with lovely pubs to come back to afterwards - especially the half way house two doors down.

Excellent accommodation, comfortable, well equipped, stylish. Possibly the best holiday accommodation we've experienced.

Just returned from a new year stay at Blue Monkey and I have to say this cottage is fantastic. Extremely comfortable beds, luxury bathrooms and a very well equipped kitchen. Located in the heart of the village with great pubs/eating facilities a few paces away.
We all enjoyed our stay very much, I would not hesitate to recommend.

Eight of us had a very enjoyable holiday at the Blue Monkey in August 2019. The property was in good order when we arrived and was spacious and well equipped. We had had several helpful conversations with the manager before arriving which helped us to sort out things such as a supermarket home delivery. This meant everything went smoothly and we could relax straight away. The twin villages of Kingsand-Cawsand comprised a particularly attractive location with plenty of places to eat and drink, especially the Devonport Inn. We enjoyed kayaking (equipment at house) and some of the water sports activities on offer, and were able to swim in the sea every day. We walked in both directions on the South West Coastal path to Mount Edgecumbe to the east and Rame Point and Whitsand Bay to the west, both excellent walks. We also enjoyed looking round Plymouth by means of the ferry from Cawsand Beach. To get there, we travelled from London to Plymouth by train and then got a taxi from Coastline for a reasonable price considering the large number in the party. There was also a reliable local bus service which we used. We would definitely consider another holiday at the Blue Monkey.

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday at The Blue Monkey cottage - having every holiday home comfort you could possibly ask for. The welcome of fresh flowers and a beautifully home baked cake set the scene. The quaint Cawsand village has three beaches and just a short walk from the cottage the exploration of the beautiful coastline in the two Blue (red) Monkey kayaks is fantastically fun! The walk to Penlee Point is worth the breath taking view. The area has enough local eateries to facilitate - we found the Davenport Inn our favourite. All in all the owner has made our return booking an easy one.

Blue Monkey lived up to our expectations and more. We had a cream tea waiting for us on arrival together with such useful extras like bread, butter, milk, eggs and really good coffee.

The house is gorgeous and you can tell there have been no cutting corners. All the facilities are great quality, even down to the sky+ tv with all the channels, not that we watched that much tv.

We did have to park next door to unload but car park is only 2 mins away so really no hassle but you do need to pay £25 parking for the week.

Cawsand is very quaint and the bakery just up the hill to the left has the best full English, and they make amazing cakes and bread including chocolate sourdough. To the left is the Halfway pub only 2 doors down with friendly service and great atmosphere.

The property has 2 kayaks with paddles and life jackets for your use, plus beach games. There is a gas BBQ which we used one night for a lovely BBQ whilst sat in the garden which has a nice big table with umbrella and feels really cosy with lighting and party lights.

Having slightly older kids we went to near by Adrenalin Quarry for go karting, and a fun water park. There is also a zip wire and large swing all near Liskeard about 30 mins away. But we also enjoyed the beaches, long dog walks and lazy evenings.

If we had any questions Annabel was very quick to respond.

All in all Blue Monkey is one of the best houses I have stayed in in Cornwall and I would not hesitate to recommend Blue Monkey to anyone.

A special place with beaches and walks which are out of this world all around it. Loved being here for some real quality time with the family and enjoying all that this delightful corner of Cornwall has to offer. Blue Monkey is comfortable, very well positioned and a pleasure to spend time in. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back and my only regret is that we were only booked in for one week and not 2! Thanks for a fab stay.

Me, my girlfriend and 6 other friends stayed at The Blue Monkey as we were attending a wedding at Palhawn Fort and Blue Monkey simply made our stay perfect. From the minute we found the place Annabel was so helpful in making sure we got the dates booked in and kept in contact throughout the 6 months leading up to our stay. When we arrived at The Blue Monkey we were blown away the size of the place was perfect, kitchen was brilliant and plenty of seating seeing as there was so many of us. All of the bedrooms are a good size but the two main rooms were stunning. My parter was 6 months pregnant so it was important she was comfortable and she was so happy and felt at home. The local village is lovely all of the pubs are so welcoming and well priced and the food was also very good. We were very fortunate that we had stunning weather the whole time, if you do then I would suggesting getting up nice and early to go and watch the sun come up, best part of the day. Overall our stay was amazing and The Blue Monkey is simply perfect, we will certainly be back.

We have just returned from Blue Monkey having had a thoroughly enjoyable stay. Excellent location - close to beaches and within driving distance of a number of excellent attractions and eateries. The property itself is a generous space with genuinely everything you need and even some things that you wouldn't think of that are handy! I am usually quite cautious making recommendations, but don't have any hesitation in recommending Blue Monkey to anyone!

Excellent location and great cottage with lots of facilities you can enjoy very much. The beach is within 2 minutes walk. The cottage was in very clean and presentable condition, great welcoming tray that was the icing on the cake. My guests enjoy their time very much, very comfortable beds and bathrooms. Many thanks

Blue Monkey is a gem.
You're only 50 once and I needed somewhere very special to host some young old school friends. To sit around the kitchen table and catch up on old times - to instantly relax in a house with character, dare I say it more than a bit of history and I am convinced soul - was simply perfect.
Brilliantly accessible and oozing Cornish charm I could not have hoped for a better w/e to unwind, to switch off, switch on, laugh, cry and look forward the next 50 years!

And with wonderfully comfortable beds to sleep off the long night and dream of those tall tales!

And as someone accused of a lack of an eye to detail, even I was impressed with everything on hand to cover all our needs!

I must also mention the superb host Annabel who has a wonderful ability to ensure the booking, build up, stay and "afters" were all so well choreographed and everyone of my dumb questions answered with an exclamation mark!

And last but certainly not least, we took advantage of the local cook Emma to fill our fridge full of wonderful suppers which meant we could get on with hugs, handshakes and wine while the food was warmed and served. Inspired!

In short, no longer a hidden gem.

Beautiful property, beautifully furnished and with everything you could possibly want for a comfortable stay. We loved it! Can’t wait to go back again!

Loved it. Great location. Incredibly well equipped. We were blessed with good weather, but if we weren't, we would have been happy to spend all four days hanging out playing the huge selection of board-games in the house. Will definitely come back - to make use of the kayaks if nothing else.

Exceptionally clean! The Blue Monkey reviews did not lie, they literally have thought of everything. From start to finish our week at the Blue Monkey was perfect. We found the house to be really well equipped, they even had everything for the youngest in the group, high chairs, bouncers etc, you name it they had it! We tried horse riding which was recommend and loved it. Kayaking with the BM kayaks, and we went to the Zoo. There is a nice pub a few meters down where we had a lovely meal, 3 other pubs within 5 mins walk, lots of little beaches on your doorstep with beautiful clear water and lots of places to walk and a great playground. So if you don't fancy staying indoors next to a nice cozy fire with the family, there is lots to do.
Cawsand/Kingsand really is the ideal getaway, really an unspoilt village. We definitely will return. Booking was easy. We were a group of 5 adults, 4 children 0-5 and a dog.

All 9 of us have had a wonderful stay. Between us there are 3/4 generations (including the 3 dogs!!). A beautiful area of the world.

Blue Monkey is perfectly equipped - the team have thought of everything.

The only thing I would mention if you are staying with elderly relatives is that there are no downstairs bedrooms. My nan couldn’t make it up the stairs so we had to make a bed downstairs!
