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!’

Francesca, 

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.

Janet, 

It’s safe to say we fell in love with Cawsands and Blue Monkey and have already booked our return trip. Blue Monkey is so well equipped. We really didn’t need to bring anything. We were particularly impressed with the provisions for children and the kitchen. We were a big group of 6 adults and 5 kids (age 0-12). The kitchen had everything we could need for big communal meals around the huge table, and loads of things we wouldn’t have expected. The bedrooms are a fab size and the beds are really comfy. The location is perfect. A stones throw to the beaches, which is particularly useful when trying to get everybody out of the house and inevitably forgetting stuff. We barely left the village! Thank you Blue Monkey for a wonderful holiday and we can’t wait to come back!

Lucy, 

We rented Blue Monkey over Christmas and my daughter’s birthday, and couldn’t have wished for a better place to celebrate. The house is cosy and comfortable (and was beautifully decorated for Christmas). The kitchen is equipped with everything you could possibly want, the beds are really comfortable, there’s enough sofa space for a crowd to lounge in comfort, and the beach/local pubs are a stone’s throw away. Perfection!

Kate, 

You won’t find a more comfortable and snug venue in a cold January in Cornwall. The log burner wasn’t needed but added to the ambience A lovely week with friends made even better by Blue Monkey. All the facilities you need. Even the dog had a welcome gift. Superb.

Jet, 

We had a fantastic weekend at Blue Monkey! The location is absolutely gorgeous and the house itself was perfect. Very spacious and fully equipped with absolutely everything we might need. We will be back!

Mollie, 

A wonderful few days in Cawsand and kingsand with our two small children. Very well catered for children and adults alike. We didn’t bring our dogs this time but previously have done so. Annabel is very helpful to ensure your stay is as comfortable and memorable as possible. Highly recommend!
