Description

Monkswell Park in Wellswood, South Devon, dates back to the 1920s, and is described in Pevsner's Buildings of England as 'The most distinguished property tucked into the slopes overlooking Hope Cove with wings angled to create a protected terrace with veranda facing the sea.' There are two holiday cottages to let - please see our other listing for our smaller property which sleeps 4 (The Garden Rooms).

With fabulous uninterrupted sea views over Lyme Bay, Monkswell Park benefits from an extremely rural and quiet, picturesque cliff top location on the South West Coastal Path, but is only one and a half miles from Torquay town centre, and approximately twenty miles from the historic city of Exeter. Also within a short drive are pretty Dartmouth, and the quirky market town of Totnes.

There are excellent local shops and restaurants within easy access, and a walkable sandy beach within half a mile of the property. There is also access to a ‘near private’ pebble beach from the one and a half acre lawned garden. The nearest railway station is Torquay although Newton Abbot is only seven miles away. The nearest airport is Exeter.

Monkswell Cottage benefits on the first floor from one king sized bedroom (en-suite), one twin room and a bunk bedded room. There is a main family bathroom with large walk-in shower.

The ground floor features a lounge with fabulous garden and sea views (with door to the private courtyard), and a cottage-style kitchen with full oven, gas hob, full sized dishwasher, microwave, kettle and toaster, and washing machine. The separate dining-room with parquet floor comfortably seats six, and has doors to the private courtyard which features table and chairs for eight guests. Also on this floor is a downstairs cloakroom.

A gate to the garden features a large private patio with additional furniture and uninterrupted sea views.

Please note:- At Low Season (October 1st to May 31st) a £315.00 non-returnable deposit secures the week that is required, and is payable upon booking.
An additional balance payment of £175.00 per person per week is charged, and is payable 30 days prior to occupation.
At High Season (June 1st to September 30th) it is a booking/holding deposit of £420.00 followed by a balance payment of £210.00 per person, per week

Please note there are no additional charges if a bank holiday is part of your chosen week/s, this being handled on a first come first served basis.

Bookings are made Saturday to Saturday for Monkswell Cottage and Thursday to Thursday for our smaller property (The Garden Rooms).

High and low season refer to any required week commencing with a Saturday or Thursday falling between the dates as identified above, and will be available for occupation at around 15.00 hours, vacation please by 10.00 hours.

Bookings will not be accepted unless accompanied with the relevant deposit. If a reservation is made less than 30 days before arrival, the full rental is immediately due. Non payment by due dates will be treated as a cancellation and re-letting may take place.

It would be appreciated if any faulty equipment, breakage, and/or accidental damage is found or incurred during the occupation, that it be reported as soon as possible. We trust also, that should the occupant cause any damage, responsibility will be taken, and that a contribution to reparation will be made.

Please note also that for the purposes of insurance, and in consideration for the majority of our guests smoking is not permitted. Further, but for the exception of registered guide dogs, pets are not allowed, and we regret, no hen or stag groups will be accepted.

Delightful, Idyllic with lovely views over the garden towards the sea with the birds singing was out of this world, perhaps this is why we have had more than one holiday here. the Cottage is so delightful and kept so clean with everything you need with the welcome you get from the owners we feel like we are family. My Response Many thanks for your kind words...we look forward to having you as guests again. J & J

Beautiful house with great character and fabulous views.

 By Elizabeth Stanley on 23-Dec-2017

We spent a fabulous Christmas break at Monkswell Park Cottage. Jenny and Julian were very helpful before and during our stay. As they live next door to the cottage they are very convenient should you have a problem , which luckily we didn’t. They decorated the house for Christmas and we felt very much at home. The house has a beautiful lawned garden with views of the sea and a private steeply stepped access to a little cove. There are at least 2 very nice restaurants within walking distance. We would love to visit in the summer and hope to return. I would highly recommend staying here.

Wonderful Cottage with an amazing view
