Very good

The owners were very obliging and left us a key for early arrival and room easy to find.

Breakfast was hot and OK

The shower in the bathroom was poor. Water not hot enough and slow supply

Food was fantastic, bed comfy and clean.

We stayed in the Heather Suite. Bed was very comfy, nice thoughtful items like sweets and homemade treats, good selection of hot drinks the breakfast was perfect.

Smelt very damp, very dated, no privacy as we had to close the blinds/curtains as people eating in the restaurant could see into the bedroom. Dated spa bath, no decent shower.

Passable

We didnt get to stay as we had an pet emergency. We did call to let them know, no one acknowledged our call. We asked for a change of dates again no reply. I would have expected some response or minimal refund as we paid for breakfast which obviously wasnt eaten.

Very good

I would definitely go back to the Salty Monk but I wouldnt stay in Heather again.

There is a beautiful garden and although the property is on a busy road there is no sound of traffic in the rooms or garden. The breakfast was superb both days. We stayed for dinner on one night and it was utterly delicious. All the staff were friendly and courteous and nothing was too much trouble for them.

We stayed in Heather which is an outside room. Its spacious and has a little courtyard area but it felt damp and rather dark. We discovered a dehumidifier under the dressing table which improved things but I wouldnt want to stay in that room again. Also the bathroom was just so small it was a struggle. Definitely a one person bathroom.

Sidmouth lovely location for visiting other Devon areas, Lyme Regis and Beer were beautiful.

The breakfast was good but the downfall was the burnt sourdough toast. My husband and I cant stand burnt toast. So surprised this was brought to the table.

Better toast not burnt and not to be given the end of the bread toasted. - like door stops! The room (Heather) smelt very damp musky on arrival and windows were already open. We only had one hand towel in bathroom and disappointed we had a bath no power shower. When we booked this was the only room available on website. But while we were there, only a couple of other guests staying and they were not on the same days so not fully booked. Also one of the bedside lights did not work.
