We had a relaxing stay at monks

Its location and quietness at night time . Nice bar /restaurant. Choice of fish on the menu is fantastic, but a little restricted if you are a meat eater and are staying for a couple off days .

Would go back in a heartbeat

The most beautiful and peaceful room we have ever stayed in. We could have sat in the sunken windows all day and gazed out at the ocean. The food was excellent as you expect in Monks. A very chilled 2 nights.

Relaxing girly weekend away

What was there not to like!! Everything was just amazing, the accommodation was perfect. The room was so cosy and clean with a sea view so it ticked all the right boxes. The staff were fantastic too especially Maria who really looked after us. The night porter was also extremely efficient and friendly too. We will most certainly be back. Would highly recommend 👌

Monks are always excellent. Every year, we dedicate a number of nights to stay in this little idyllic hideaway. The views are beautiful, the staff excellent- big shout out to Susan & Alfie and the accomodation is of an excellent standard.

Monks Review

Lovely staff, bedroom allocated on the ground floor, which was so convenient and comfortable, coffee maker was a lovely treat, but the meal was superb - best yet on this trip around the W A W!!! Just one thing - no room service for breakfast in the morning. Next time, I will stay in one of the cottages, if they are self catered? Thank you for a lovely stay.
