Guests say

The Old Malthouse in Monksilver is a well-received cottage, praised for its peaceful location, comfort, and well-equipped nature. Guests have enjoyed the local walks, proximity to attractions, and the nearby Notley Arms pub. While some guests have raised concerns about cleanliness and maintenance, these appear to be exceptions, with many finding the cottage clean and welcoming.

Most guests found the cottage to be clean and well-presented, with spotless kitchens and immaculate bedding. However, a few reviews mentioned issues with cleanliness, including fleas and poorly maintained areas, which slightly lowers the score.

The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, beautiful surroundings, and convenience for exploring Somerset, the coast, Quantocks, and Exmoor. The proximity to the local pub is frequently appreciated.

Guests have reported the cottage as comfortable, with warm beds and a cosy lounge. Some minor issues with heating and a leaky shower were noted, but overall, the comfort level is high.

The cottage is well-equipped with games, DVDs, and a well-appointed kitchen. Some guests encountered issues with appliances and maintenance, but these seem to be isolated incidents rather than the norm.

While some guests mentioned a welcome touch of wine, biscuits, and milk, it is not clear if this is a consistent offering for all stays. As such, it is not possible to accurately score thoughtfulness based on the available information.

    Lovely cottage in a lovely village. Location ideal for discovering Somerset. Notley Arms pub iis located less than a minutes walk and is a perfect country pub for a drink and something to eat.
