The Toast selection wasn't what we wanted. Though I understand their reasons for not having fresh bread.

Very good, everything you could ask for was supplied.

The smell of dog hit us as we came into the property. However, there was no smell the next morning. The room was cold. We were unaware there was no shower and because of a physical problem, bathing was not possible. There was no light over the mirror in the bathroom so I couldn't see to put in my contact lenses or apply eye make up satisfactorily. As in many places, no place to put used tea bags/teaspoons and so I can imagine that people carry the used bags into the bathroom - dripping on the carpet (not us I hasten to add, we used a little bag to save the bags dripping before discarding).

The breakfast was excellent. The decor was very interesting and attractive. The room size was good.

The room was freezing when we arrived. The staff gave us a portable heater . Recently painted radiator cover smelt of paint throughout our stay.

Really comfortable bed. The breakfast was amazing! Very friendly hosts.

The best breakfast I have ever had at a B&B. So much choice and care taken in presentation and taste!

maybe have binds or similar on the windows as rooms can be walked past or viewed into.

Excellent stay, lovely room, dog friendly, excellent location as we wanted to "walk the byes", a brilliant river walk right into the heart of Sidmouth town and beach area. Lovely hosts, very comfortable room and excellent breakfast.

Beautiful room, comfy beds, lovely decor & great dog friendly touches. We stayed on a Saturday night in August. The Salty Monk is in a great location, lovely walk into Sidmouth which again is very dog friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Breakfast was delicious as were the cheese, biscuits & wine we had Saturday night!

The light sensor in the bathroom was just way too overactive to movement at night. The slightest movement in bed caused the sensor to click (audibly) which then triggered the light to come on in the bathroom which was bright enough to wake us up. We hardly slept as a result and unfortunately the lower score is reflected by this especially as this issue has been raised previously by another customer.

Fantastic 5 star dinner (a little pricey but worth it if celebrating something special) Great breakfast, lots of choice. The room (Rose) was superb. Spotlessly clean; good size tv offering Netflix. Comfortable bed.

The local Bus service not always reliable. There seems to be at least two bus service numbers though to Sidmouth but can be along wait half an hour and more in one instance. If one has just gone. no buses late on Sunday.no Taxis free on the very busy weekend I was there. There is a wooded pathway of 1/12 miles to walk down to the Ham. Unlit at night.

Breakfast good and food allergy catered for. I was pleasantly surprised by the whirlpool bath, very welcome.

Only one little suggestion is the awkward silence in the dining room, would be nice to hear a radio at breakfast.

Delightful stay at Salty Monk , Accommodation, Breakfast and location is superb. The cycle path to Sidmouth next to the property was perfect for us . Will definitely return.

Our ensuite had a jacuzzi bath together with a hand shower. I personally prefer to shower in the mornings but this is a personal preference. The restaurant offers food to a high standard which is priced accordingly, a meal for 2 costs around £150.

Our suite was very clean comfortable and dog friendly. The owners and staff were welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was exceptional and the restaurant offered food to a fine dining standard.
