The space
Luxurious Blue Monkey Cornwall sleeps 10, accommodate up to 4 dogs.
Is available from £699 for 3 nights.
Blue Monkey Cornwall is ideal for two families to share and this has resulted in over 80% of the property being booked each year, mainly by returning guests and their friends.
Blue Monkey Cornwall is one of the most popular 5* UK baby and dog friendly holiday cottages, just a pebbles throw from 3 beaches, with 2 free paddle boards and 2 kayaks for our guests to use.
This grade II listed property with garden is a relaxing, luxurious home away from home situated in SE Cornwall in the heart of Cawsand.
It is 10 minutes from Polhawn Fort, 4 hours from SW London by car less by train from Paddington to St German + Taxi (20 mins) and a true family haven: a perfect child and pet friendly holiday home. We welcome up to 4 dogs.
If you desire, for peace of mind, that your holiday is booked you can now automatically and securely book in the free periods on our website's availability page.
It is hard not to feel more than a little bit smug when renting this gem of a coastal chic cottage because its exactly the kind of place people harbour fantasies about living in.
Nestled in the heart of the exceptionally pretty and quaint village of Cawsand, just a few steps from its sandy bay, winding cobbled streets and pastel-coloured Georgian houses,
Blue Monkey Cornwall offers a taste of the good life, by the sea with the beach on the doorstep and romantic log fires and claw foot baths inside.
It is the perfect bolthole to escape to for a bit of family rejuvenation any time of year, whether beach combing and rock pooling in winter with hot chocolate and log fires, or beachside picnics, buckets and spades and long lazy evenings on the terrace in summer.
It comes as no surprise to learn the house has had something of a celebrity following, although going back some years to when Admiral Nelson was commonly spotted dancing in the lounge in its previous incarnation as the local pub!
Nowadays, thanks to a labour of love renovation, its picture-perfect Grade II listed, exterior hides a beautifully renovated interior with 5 spacious bedrooms and 4 glamorous bathrooms, including 2 with deep and indulgent free-standing baths.
Mini guests are well catered for with 2 travel cots, 2 highchairs and stair gates at the top & bottom of the stairs.
And are commonly accommodated in the pretty twin bedroom or bunk room see website floor plan.
The enclosed terrace garden at the rear is a lovely space for little legs to stretch, although the beach just a 10 second dash from the door, is often a stronger draw.
The spacious open plan living/dining area is a lovely spot for cosy family nights thanks to its plentiful comfy seats, exposed stone walls, wood burner, television with Sky package Netflix, plus a handy range of over 100 books, and over 30 board games.
The dining room is bright and airy thanks to its whitewashed walls warmed by a stone feature fireplace and large wood dining table with seating for up to 10 guests.
The dining area also provides access to the lovely, illuminated courtyard garden with BBQ and seating area, an idyllic spot for morning coffee, lazy afternoons, or evening meals al fresco under candlelight.
“Far better equipped than my own kitchen” .
Our large kitchen is ideal for families and stylishly kitted out with Emma Bridgewater crockery, Nespresso coffee machine, an electric oven, grill, hob, 2 large fridge freezer, dishwasher, microwave, food blender.
The shower room on the ground floor is ideal for washing off the beach and is also handy for dogs, since well-behaved pets are welcome.
