Blue Monkey takes its name from 2 interesting historic periods:
Firstly, it used to be the village pub known as "The Blue Anchor" and one of its regular visitors when in dock was Nelson. He regularly frequented this watering hole and could be seen from the road dancing the night away, up in the first floor front room.
Secondly, it takes is name Monkey from the time when it was the cannon ball store supplying the fort. And the “Monkey” is the name given to the triangular formation the cannon balls were stacked in hence the name “Blue Monkey”.

The West Country / Cornwall region
Cornwall is a popular holiday destination with nearly 700km of coastline and more than 300 beaches. Popular with all generations, its mild climate, golden beaches, dramatic Atlantic rollers and colourful past of smugglers and pirates will make your stay in Cornwall a memorable one. Whether you’re after a family holiday or a romantic getaway for two, Cornwall is the perfect place for a self-catering holiday.
Cawsand / Kingsand area
Situated on The Rame Peninsula or "The Forgotten Corner" as it is known locally is an oasis of peace and tranquillity, away from the crowds and bustle. Whatever your interest you will find a visit or stay here a truly unforgettable experience.
Once here you will find an area of great natural beauty, quiet secluded beaches, magnificent scenery and spectacular walks an ideal family holiday destination.
These historical fishing villages are unspoilt by time and are frequently winners of the Best Kept Village award and a conservation area set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty the villages are an artist's dream.
The twin villages of Kingsand and Cawsand have many features of traditional coastal villages, with their narrow winding streets. There is plenty to explore in the villages on foot including the independent shops, galleries and eateries. Perhaps the most recognisable feature of the villages is the Clock tower along the seafront of Kingsand which was erected to commemorate the coronation of King George V.
The history surrounding Cawsand Bay is enthralling. Notorious for being the haunt of smugglers in the 18th & 19th centuries it was estimated that 17,000 casks of brandy a year were smuggled. Fishing, boat building and farming also form the basis of this quaint, unspoilt village's heritage.
Cawsand Bay offers the perfect place to drop anchor and is popular for swimming, windsurfing, water skiing, a triathlete’s dream training area.
A stunning walk will take you along the Coastal Path starting at Cremyll winding its way through the 800 acre Mount Edgcumbe Park, which according to the Shell Guide is probably the most beautiful in England. It continues along a breathtaking walk to the glorious Whitsand Bay, a great learners surfing beach and at low tide an excellent kite surfing bay. Just behind the bay is one of Cornwall’s most challenging and stunning Whitsand Bay links golf courses, open to the public.
From Cawsand beach, and just a few minutes’ walk from Blue Monkey, you can take a passenger ferry across to the city of Plymouth which offers an abundance of high street and independent shops, restaurants, cafés, bars, theatres & attractions to suit everyone. The Barbican & Hoe are steeped in history & are definitely worth a visit.
Towards Liskeard and Bodmin Moor there are many other activity centres for all ages, including of course the well known Eden Project.

Guestbook for Blue Monkey
"Absolutely, I would recommend this accommodation to my best friend!" We stayed in the stunning 'Blue Monkey' cottage in Cawsand over New Year, and would recommend the property to anyone. The biggest draw is its location - right in the heart of the village, yet go into the cute courtyard garden and it's completely peaceful! The quiet town beach & sea front is literally a 1 min walk across the street which was fantastic; your morning coffee won't even cool as you take it along with you to sit on the sea wall & read the papers! It had a nice atmosphere too; it very quickly felt like 'home', aside from the 'boutique hotel'-style en-suite of the master bedroom was definitely a step above our bathroom at home! ;-) It was clear that the owners have put a great deal of thought into various personal touches around the house - for example the bed linen is of a high quality as is the crockery. There's also a shower on the ground floor by the utility room - perfect for washing off sandy feet or wetsuits! Would highly recommend - we have already booked up for later this year." Wimshursts Sept 09.
"We've had a lovely stay at the Blue Monkey really relaxing and enjoyable. The weather has been kind to us to! We would recommend a visit to Fowey (beautiful harbour/shops and teas!) Also Padstow was fabulous especially Rick Steins fish and chips. Really enjoyed some breath taking costal walks and cycled around Penteran valley down to Mevagisssey (lovely, very busy fishing port). Will miss the delicious cream teas and food. Going home to plan our return!" The Smits, West Sussex August 09.
"We want to live there....We first fell in love with the area, then Kingsand and Cawsand and now Blue Monkey. The villages are pure Cornish, steeped in history and with local people that are simply wonderful. Add four great pubs each of which prides itself on its beer and cooking, a beautiful outlook on to Cawsand Bay and you just about have the lot. Blue Monkey is divine and the owners have decorated and equipped it to colour supplement levels of style and comfort. Superb! We are back there next year". August 09.
"Kingsand- Cawsand was recommended by some friends and we'll certainly pass on that recommendation along with the Blue Monkey." The Woodhouses, Aberdeen, July 09.
"As Kingsanders for a few years now, this house ticks all the boxes!! Fabulous family accommodation and not too many footsteps from the beach. At the end of the day when the children are picnicked out. We never venture far when the sun shine, why would you. Just one request don't tell too many people about the forgotten corner." The Jamersons, August 09.
"What an amazing place! We had a fantastic holiday with beautiful weather. Thank you very much." Lots of love the Williams & the Liddys, June 09.
"What a beautiful location. We had a fantastic relaxing holiday Blue Monkey was excellent and well equipped. Hope to return one day." Burntwood, Staffs, August 09.
"Enjoyed the stay, loved the house, would come again." Mrs O A Lane, May 09.
"What a house! What a place! What an amazing holiday we have had! The house is beautiful and so comfortable. We have already planned our return. Kingsand and Cawsand are real hidden treasures and long may they stay that way. The people are so friendly and the walks and views are stunning. Enjoy your stay but dont tell too many people about it!" The Godwins 09.
"The Blue Monkey has proved to be a home-from-home and a great base to visit Cornwall. Found it spacious and loved the decor. Shall hopefully return in a a few years." The Franklins from Perth, June 09.
"40 years or so we have walked along the sea front road and past the Blue Monkey. Of course all those years we wanted to live there and now we can afford it we no longer wish to be anywhere else than where we are - but that is life. But 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. It is solid and warm when you need it, and cool when you wish to get out of the sun. Three pubs within no more than five minutes walk and a lovely 'everything' shop with lovely marmalade. It was a joy to stay there and to be inside looking out at the passers-by who were gazing in at our log fire: it was nice not to be the 'passers-by' after all these years."
