About this property

Monkswell Park Cottage is a refurbished

Monkswell Park Cottage is a refurbished, quiet self-contained and angled wing of Monkswell Park with most modern facilities included, along with fabulous sea views. For additional information see our web site, ask for details.


Monkswell Park 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.' With fabulous sea views over Lyme Bay Monkswell Park benefits from an extremely rural and quiet, picturesque cliff top location, but is only one and a half miles from Torquay town centre, and approximately twenty miles from the historic city of Exeter. There are excellent local shops and restaurants nearby, and a sandy beach within half a mile of the property. There is also 'near-private' access to a pebble beach from the one and a half acre lawn garden. The nearest railway station is Torquay although Newton Abbot is only seven miles away. The nearest airport is Exeter

stunning location, quiet, gorgeous large cottage
Very nicely decorated 3 bed property, with stunning views out to sea. The cottage is to the left side of the picture, with an enclosed courtyard, open the gate to another set of table and chairs with the view out to sea. The Annex is down below on the right of the picture, and looks directly out to sea. Quiet and peaceful, plenty of room. The private cove is down LOTS of tiny steps, but kept well tended if you want to go down. The propery is down a little coastal path lane behind large gates, just off the bumpy Ilsha marine drive. Beautiful large sloping gardens, sat and watched Morris the automatic mower cut the grass. WIFI not too good though, especially if your 02!! Best place for a signal, master bedroom by dressing table. Very close to Torquay centre seafront. Fab power shower in master. Books, dvds, games on hand, with large tv, and everything in the kitchen you could wish for. We found the bed in the master bedroom very hard, but the twin room beds were better. Lovely hosts, homemeade maramalade & slice of cake on arrival. Its all about the view here....bliss.

Lovely property with fabulous sea views and much to do in the area!
We enjoyed our stay at Monkswell Park - the gardens are beautiful and the accommodation itself was spotlessly clean and comfortable. It's worth mentioning that the cottage is the left hand side elevation of the property in the picture rather than the whole building and that phone reception and internet is very patchy (which is mentioned in the details but it was quite difficult for us as business owners to keep up to date with work and would possibly have been trickier had we brought grandchildren that love gaming!). Having said that, the views are magnificient and the owners were very welcoming and helpful. The walks around the headland are superb and the local beaches at are fabulous - do get the furnicular down to Babbacombe beach and take the walks down to Ansteys Cove and Maidencombe beach. Torquay and Paignton are big enough towns for there to be something to please all the family and there are so many wonderful things to do in the area that we were averaging 2 or 3 each day and then needed a rest (so we were very thankful for the comfy sofas)!!!

Tolles Cottage, atemberaubende Aussicht, himmlische Ruhe
Sehr schöne Wohnung, toll eingerichtet, alles was man braucht. Jenny und Julian sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Leider nur englisches Fernsehen und sehr bescheidenes WLAN.
