Guest Reviews:
- "Monkstadt House was amazing. Our room on the first floor was well appointed with tea, coffee, tv, etc. The bed was incredibly comfortable and everyone on the staff was very friendly. We had a spectacular dinner our first night and enjoyed starting our days with breakfast here. The property was a bit out of the way (single track road) but well worth it due to the silence in the evenings." - "Would recommend booking in for dinner one night for an excellent meal. Hotel was lovely, staff were super helpful."

- "I cannot rate this hotel enough. We are already planning our trip back. The hotel itself is an amazing building with great history, the rooms are exceptional, the decor is done really well and feels special when you open the door. The bathrooms are amazing, the shower is particularly good. The staff there could not be nicer, they were really cheery, helpful and engaged in conversation. We ate there in the evening and for breakfast. The food is outstanding, even if you are not staying in the hotel, go there just to eat. It is amazing! The location of the hotel is superb, with easy links to anywhere on the island."
