Blue Monkey

Between sleepy fishing villages and coastal retreats lies this five-bedroom cottage, complete with a log fire and gorgeous garden. It sits in a perfect spot for hikes around the Cornish coastline, while the beach is just a ten-second walk away. You can even make use of the home's two kayaks and two paddle boards for free. Back at home, the bedrooms are beautifully decorated, with a couple of stunning en-suite bathrooms. Feel the sea breeze from the picturesque garden, where you can sit with a book before embarking on a walk. Admire the elaborate architecture of this Georgian edifice, and get to know the locals in the quaint coastal hamlets of Kingsand and Cawsand.
