Breakfast was excellent. Good choice with items off the menu available.
Some items at breakfast could be served hotter, i.e sausages.

Beautiful and warm rooms, comfortable bed, good quality linens, great shower, good selection of tea and coffee provided, lovely Mervue Organics toiletries. The bar and restaurant were excellent for dinner. The breakfast had a great selection of cold and hot food items. The staff were all very professional and friendly.
Our room was not fully dark as the lights from the corridor came in around the door. A shower cap should be provided. The prices are quite high for such a small town.

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 👌
We loved everything 😍

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.
I'm being picky but 1 or 2 of the waitresses in the restaurant could have been more attentive. The staff at breakfast on the other hand were so warm and welcoming as were the staff at the hotel reception.

Breakfast was delicious, fresh and wait staff was very friendly. You could have a simple serving of fruit, yogurt or fresh scones, or opt for the large breakfast options off their menu.

Beautiful room with plenty of space. Everything is so cute and cozy. Right across from the water. Very peaceful stay. Walked up to the two local pubs just across the bridge but returned for dinner. Mussels and brown bread were excellent and a huge portion.
10/10 would recommend and stay again.

Lovely sea view. Very nice bathroom. Comfortable bed. Nice breakfast. Good WiFi.
Evening meal, though the food was very good the dining room was extremely busy, which resulted in our main course being forgotten. This finally arrived after over an hour following prompting.

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.
No room service!

Bedroom was lovely. Check in and out simple. Great location. Great views if beside a window. Friendly and nice atmosphere.
Couldn't park at property as no spaces but we did get a public space across the road. Fine for us as not many bags/ no children etc.
Dinner menu was just OK. I had to inquire about vegetarian options before booking as only a starter on the menu.
Breakfast was ok - set menu. Got the one of the orders wrong but this happened at another table also so we didn't say anything. I would recommend a pen and paper to waiting staff even if just a couple of tables as we had to ask for orange juice again and that's why we didn't bother we food mix up.

Everything about our stay was excellent, the food was marvellous (including breakfast) good selection of drinks and plenty of atmosphere in the bar area. The staff were all friendly and very helpful. I can recommend the mussels!!
Only thing to improve it would have been a bath (which is our preference)
