Restaurants in Cornwall – Where to Eat Out in Kingsand, Cawsand, The Rame Peninsula and Plymouth
One of the great advantages of staying at self catering holiday homes in Cornwall is the flexibility that this type of break brings. You can eat what you want, when you want, and the facilities at Blue Monkey, with its lavishly-equipped kitchen, are perfect for the most elaborate meals. However, whilst it is great to have a cosy night in or enjoy a relaxed breakfast in the cottage, it is also fun to dine out on holiday – especially when you have built up an appetite after a busy day of walking, surfing, sunbathing and sailing.
Cornwall is famous for its food, and a stay in self catering holiday homes in the Kingsand area offers a great opportunity to discover the local cuisine. On evenings when you don’t want to cook, there are many excellent restaurants within just a few miles of the cottage, or slightly further afield in Plymouth.
