Upon arrival we were greeted by the most wonderful, spacious and welcoming house we have ever stayed in. The 3 children spent the first hour just running from room to room just enjoying the light and the space before we took them on the short (30second) walk to the delightful beach. The house was wonderfully equipped for children – there was a blender for making purees, Sky HDTV for the odd CBeebies programme!, high chairs, a stair gate at the top of the house where the children slept, baby bouncer, beach tent, travel rucksack, crabbing lines, fishing nets and body boards.

If we did decide to live at the seaside I cannot imagine any nicer village than Kingsand & Cawsand or indeed any nicer house than The Blue Monkey for it is absolutely delightful in the village and in the house. It is extremely comfortable and provides everything that you could wish for.

The beaches and the local walks were perfect for both children and adults, running routes were glorious, crabbing was entertaining and the local ale, ice cream and pasties were delicious. This is a place I can imagine returning to again and again as the children grow older – where they really can be children; running bare foot past the house with a sense of pure freedom, wielding crab nets and shrieking with laughter is something that all children should experience and Blue Monkey is the place to do it

Staying at the Blue Monkey was a delight from start to finish. The booking service was excellent, personalised & most accommodating to our needs. The Blue Monkey itself has the look & feel of a real home.”

With access straight to the beach we went for bracing walks and drove to surfing beaches then return to Blue Monkey to a log fire and hot baths. We even found a lovely babysitter and had an evening out, Heaven.

We had a lovely stay at blue Monkey. The owners really have thought of everything! It’s in a great location – right in the centre of Kingsand and so close to the beach but also very quiet and peaceful. Kingsand was a great find for us – we have been to many other places in Cornwall but never here, we loved it! A great combination of a charming fishing village, great coastal walks & some really great places to eat. And a really special, beautiful beach at Whitsand. The house is superbly equipped (we had a baby & all the baby equipment was much appreciated) & is very comfortable and spacious. Brilliant to find somewhere of this quality that is happy to have children & dogs – a rarity. We will definitely be back!

We returned for a second year at the Blue Monkey for another fantastic Easter holiday. The house suited everyone from the grandchildren to the grandparents especially the large kitchen area.

We chose Blue Monkey because the house had everything we were looking for. On arrival to the house we were really taken aback by its grand scale it was much bigger than we had all anticipated. We were blown over by the Master bedrooms en suite.

The Blue Monkey is gorgeous – it surpasses all expectations of a ‘holiday home’. It is spacious, well-equipped and tastefully decorated. It is clearly loved by its owners, and I have to say that we have fallen in love with it too. I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone, and we will definitely return in the foreseeable future.

Blue Monkey is presented and maintained to an excellent standard. It is warm, welcoming and very well equipped and you immediately feel at home. Just yards from the beach.

This was our second stay at “Blue Monkey” and I can honestly say that stepping back into the house was like coming home. Everything had such a comfortable familiarity about it – my husband and I were truly thankful to be back! The owner of Blue Monkey has thought of every comfort and we found many updates and improvements since our last visit (not that it wasn’t perfect the first time!).

The accommodation is excellent. All the possible facilities and equipment that you could ask for. I would recommend for either families with young or old children. So nice to go somewhere that feels like a home rather than holiday accommodation.

Spacious and practical but stylish as well. It suited our needs as a 3-generation extended family very well. Kingsand and Cawsand are perfect villages for a relaxing holiday. Beaches were on the doorstep, and good walking, village shop, post office, pubs, and cafes, were all to hand.

Stayed here for a week with two families. It is a beautiful, stylish house in the middle of the village. The house is very well set up for a big group or couple of families. The living rooms, bathrooms and bedrooms are stunning. There were two Canoes available which we used most days with the kids. Great to also have a shower downstairs to throw wet & cold children into. We would stay her again or recommend to anyone else.

Were it not for our friends choosing to get married in the Rame peninsula’s stunning Polhawn Fort, we most likely would never have discovered this very special corner of Cornwall or the beautiful bay and seaside villages of Cawsand and Kingsand. Our primary considerations when searching for accommodation were location, space, and child-friendliness. The Blue Monkey appeared to offer exactly what we were looking for, and in reality, easily lived up to our high expectations.
