Monks Treasure Reviews

Steve
A fabulous holiday for all the family. The owners were very welcoming and helpful throughout our stay and nothing was too much trouble. The "cottage" was very spacious and the views from the upstairs living area were stunning. We will be re-vising again soon.

Had an absolute blast on holiday at Monks Treasure.

The beds were super comfortable and the kitchen functional. Loved the hot tub and friendly donkeys in the field next dRead moreoor.

The cottage was equipped with everything we needed for a weekend retreat in the countryside. The horse and donkeys were so friendly and the entire place was just stunningly beautiful. We had an amazing time.
Graham
The cottage was really spacious for 5 adults 2 children and a toddler. Al very clean. The snooker table and hot tub were great on the wet days to keep the kids happy. Very comfy barn conversion, home from home feeling. No WiFi, vodaphone works fine but 3 not at all so be prepared.

A lovely quiet location with plenty of parking and a hot tub. Wifi is very intermittent as is 4g etc but thats not always a bad thing!! Plenty of living room space and a large square dining table which was nice. Beds very comfy. Would recommend for a family get together.
Hilary
Good place to stay with a big family
Kirk
We had a Christmas break in the barn On arrival we had the barn decorated with a tree and a present under the tree. A really lovely touch.The barn was a beautiful building to stay in cosy and spacious at the same time. Tony and his wife are great hosts and always happy to help make your stay great. The farm is a hidden gem, quite and out the way bu t a short trip to bude or holsworthy close enough. The snooker room and hot tub were great to have to keep everyone entertained. Thank you
Helen
This is a perfect location for exploring the coast - the barn was very comfortable with loads of space to relax. The farmer was really welcoming and suggested different walking routes for us and our dog. Definitely recommend a stay!
Chris
Fantastic place to stay, the owner who lives on site is very friendly and helpful. We found the house to be very clean, comfortable and well equipped. You are surrounded by fields so very peaceful and the two donkeys and horse which live in the field behind the cottage were super friendly. The only negative for us was the staircase being open (no r isers) and our dog wasn't keen on this so we had to carry her up and down which was a good work out when she is nearly 30kgs.
Rebecca
Such a beautiful location and lovely accommodation! Snooker table was great fun and the hot tub was very relaxing with great views! Would definitely go again!!
Kate
lovely big room for a family gathering. enjoyable farm walks and easy access to the sea at Bude and other lovely beaches. Good shopping in Holsworthy.
Scott
Lovely place with plenty of character and the owner will do whatever he can to help. The ponds are great for young kids to learn how to fish as there are loads of fish and the whole area is full of wildlife, frogs, dragonflies, buzzards and bats on a night. This is a true gem and so peaceful but very close to local attractions.
Graham
Fantastic property. Brough 2 small children and they loved the space to run around and play, and the hot tub. Beautiful surroundings and views. Very friendly owner and lovely pets that enjoy a fuss. A really great rural experience with peace and quiet and plenty of space for a group of 8 plus a dog. Snooker table a big bonus also. Easy access to al l local areas. I would recommend to anyone to stay here.
Kerry
Home from a very cosy Christmas stay at the farm with family and friends. It was perfect. Loved the hot tub even on the cold evenings outside we were warm in the tub. The games room was great too. All the kids, older teenagers and a 7 year old, all enjoyed their Xmas at the farm. Would definitely go again.
Margaret
Just spent a week with family and friends. 4 adults 2 x 16 and 1 x 12. More than enough room. Great views, great hot tub, great holiday. Nearest pub not open during the day so a drive out is needed.
Dennis
Lovely barn conversion, but needs alot of tlc on the cleaning front, hot tub in desperate need of attention, along with things. Garden not fully secure, but host did help with this, no amenities close by unless you wish to drive, local pub closed, had to drive everywhere.
Peter
Enjoyed a lovely stay at this property. Very peaceful and tranquil setting, unusual layout added to the charm of the place. The snooker table and the hot-tub are welcome additions and ideal for long dog-walks. Would certainly recommend.
Paul
Fantastic relaxing holiday The host was welcoming and couldnt do enough to make this one of our best family holidays together. Donkeys, horse and chickens very friendly, scenery beautiful, would defiantly recommend.
