thoughtful touches like homemade biscuits, eco toiletries, friendly teddy bear

More privacy with window coverings needed!!! The room's damp smell on arrival and limited towels were disappointing. A power shower would have been preferable instead of the bath!!!

Totally recommend for a short stay

Beautiful room, comfy beds, lovely decor, and great dog-friendly touches, which made our stay enjoyable with delicious breakfast and a convenient location for lovely walks into town.

For us it was ideal.

We had a lovely two-night stay in the Heather Suite, enjoying the homemade biscuits and the comfy bed, which made for a great night's sleep. The garden area was perfect for unwinding, with cozy hammocks and a peaceful reading nook. The bathroom could have used a second towel, but overall, it was a fantastic experience. 😊

I really enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere and the delicious food at The Monk. My room, the Heather Suite, was spacious and had a comfortable bed. The whirlpool bath was an unexpected treat. Breakfast options offered plenty of choice, and they catered well to food allergies, which was appreciated. The location suited our needs perfectly, allowing easy access to scenic river walks. a few aspects could use attention. The shower was tricky to use, and I accidentally burned my ankle trying to figure it out. Nights were a bit too cold to enjoy the outside seating area. the bus service can be unreliable, with long waiting times, especially on Sundays.

I had a comfortable stay with excellent service and thoughtful amenities like organic toiletries. While the food was enjoyable, I found the additional charges for extra breakfast items to be unusual. The room had issues with dampness, which affected my overall experience, but I appreciated the welcoming atmosphere and the warm hospitality.

The Salty Monk Bed & Breakfast features charming decor with attention to detail, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. The lovely garden area and thoughtfully arranged seating made it a tranquil spot to relax, especially for seniors like myself.

Exceptional breakfast and charming atmosphere

I had a lovely stay in the Lavender Suite, where the charming decor combined with a tranquil garden area created a perfect retreat. The breakfast was truly exceptional, featuring a variety of options that catered to different tastes. The only downside was the initial welcome, which felt a bit unenthusiastic.

Charming decor with an inviting atmosphere and a lovely garden area. The only downside was the traffic noise at night, especially with the windows open. Close to the golf course, which is a nice bonus.

i recently stayed for three nights and was pleasantly surprised by the warm atmosphere and friendly staff. the room was spotless and incredibly comfortable, exceeding my expectations from previous stays in sidmouth. breakfast was a highlight with locally sourced ingredients and a variety of choices, truly delightful.

shower was hard to adjust

would stay here again and again

The room was super comfy with a flat-screen TV, electric kettle, and a private bathroom stocked with free toiletries. The garden is lovely to chill in, and breakfast had locally sourced ingredients like homemade sausages. Spa facilities were on point and ideal for relaxing evenings. Tons of thoughtful touches throughout make it special.

Had an awesome getaway with my friends! We loved the beautiful quayside and enjoyed the unique Underground Passages nearby. The breakfast was delicious and the owners really made us feel welcome. Perfect spot for a relaxed group vacation. Just a heads up , don’t forget to enjoy the stunning nearby landscapes!

The only downside was the shower. it was a bit tricky to use. I accidentally burned my ankle trying to figure it out.

Charming Stay with Minor Drawbacks

Just had a lovely night in the Rose Room. The room was beautifully decorated and provided a peaceful ambiance. The garden view added to the charm. the bathroom light sensor was overly sensitive, which disturbed our sleep. Consider asking for a room with a light adjustment if you're a light sleeper.
