Guests say

The Old Malthouse in Monksilver is a well-received cottage, praised for its comfort, peaceful location, and well-equipped facilities. Guests appreciate the characterful charm, cosy sitting rooms, and comfortable beds. The proximity to local attractions and the inclusion of thoughtful welcome packs add to the positive experience, despite some isolated reports of cleanliness issues.

Most guests found the cottage clean and well-presented, contributing to a comfortable stay. However, a few reviews mentioned cleanliness concerns, including evidence of fleas and untidiness, which slightly lowers the score.

The location is highly praised for its tranquillity and convenience for exploring nearby attractions such as Exmoor and the Quantock Hills. The village's peacefulness and the proximity to a local pub are frequently mentioned as highlights.

Guests consistently report a high level of comfort, noting the spaciousness, cosy atmosphere, and extremely comfortable beds. The presence of a log burner and electric heaters adds to the overall cosiness.

The cottage is commended for its well-equipped kitchen, selection of games, DVDs, and books, and modern amenities like HD television and good Wi-Fi. Some minor issues with maintenance, such as a steep staircase and a leaky shower, are noted.

Guests frequently mention and appreciate the welcome packs, which include items like wine, biscuits, and flowers. While these gestures are warmly received, it is noted that such gifts may vary and are not guaranteed with every stay.
