Monks Rest Reviews

Monks Rest was beautiful well worth the visit it seemed like the owner had thought of everything. The area is beautiful we walked did 3 of the local walking routeswhich the owner provided leaflets for and they were stunning. We had our dog with us too and he loved every second.
Graeme
The property was amazing, it had everything you could ask for and felt so homely. Philippa and Glyn were lovely, friendly and helpful. We would definitely love to come back
Michelle
Absolutely wonderful holiday lodge! Furnished to high spec. Bedding and towels top quality and bathroom warm and cosy with fabulous shower. Lovely welcome from owners who even provided treats for our dog. The area was very rural with views to the sea and amazing sunsets. Great dog walking and close to the pub what more could we want? Thank you highly recommended.
Lauren
We had a lovely week with our family in this beautiful lodge. The accommodation is beautiful, and spotlessly clean, it feels nice and luxurious. We enjoyed BBQs outside and took in the view of the sunset and sea. Phillipa and Glynn really care about their guests often offering us recommendations for trips out, we had some great days out enjoying the beautiful beaches and local museum. Our children had so much fun. We were blessed with some good weather but it would be equally cosy in the winter with the log burner, onsite cafe and lovely pub 5 minutes away.
What an incredible property! The hosts are exceptionally helpful, providing their contact details in case you need anything. The property is impeccably maintained, with everything you could need, including an outdoor gas BBQ. The photos and description perfectly match what you get. We were absolutely thrilled with our stay and are definitely planning to rebook for both a winter and summer break soon. Thank you for an amazing 4day stay!
Philip
Extremely well equipped chalet, well positioned for exploring the Heritage Coast and beyond.
