Our Guestbook
“ First time visit to Monks Haven and won’t be the last. It was very busy but we managed to get a table straight away for breakfast. They allow dogs too which a massive bonus, not only that they have us a small plate of sausages for the dogs, which I just think is absolutely lovely. My husband ordered the large breakfast which came with every item you’d expect and was cooked to perfection. I had a tea cake which was delicious too. The staff were very friendly and very attentive. Definitely recommend a visit :) ”
