Monkey Tree Holiday Park

Monkey Tree is a holiday park near Goonhavern, set between Perranporth and Newquay on the north Cornish coast. The three-bedroom lodges sleep six and come with one bathroom, parking, and access to the park's outdoor swimming pool, restaurant, bar, and children's playground - the full package for families who want on-site entertainment rather than self-catering solitude.

The lodges are designed for family use: open-plan living areas, fitted kitchens, and enough space for six without feeling cramped. On-site dining means evenings don't require a car, useful if you've spent the day at the beach. Rated 7.5 on Booking.com from 20 reviews.

Perranporth Beach is 4.6km away - three miles of south-facing sand with lifeguard cover in season, reliable surf, and a long run of dunes behind. Holywell Bay is 5.9km, and Porth Joke - one of the few undeveloped coves on this stretch - is 6.4km. Newquay town and Cornwall Airport are both under 10 miles. The Eden Project is 21 miles south-east for a day trip inland.

Best for families with young children who want on-site facilities and easy beach access without committing to a full self-catering setup. Less good for couples or anyone seeking a quiet rural base - it's a park environment with other families around.
