Recommend this restaurant with rooms in Monmouth. City centre quiet location with convenient parking. Ben and Kenny hosts very friendly and welcoming. We ate one dinner and two breakfasts there , all great, service good and rooms comfortable, with quirky and unusual decor.

We didn’t book this rather it was arranged by a third party walking company and looking at the other reviews this suggests we were unlucky with the room. They’ve clearly worked hard on the ambiance and design but our room was a very small double although the en suite was ample. We stayed in The Badger’s Sett Our room backed onto a car park and we were awoken very early by rubbish collection lorries. The breakfast was excellent but note their earliest available was 8.30 which is a little late if you have a big day. We left warm clean and well fed so were generally happy.

We were greeted with a lovely warm welcome and shown to our room. We had everything we needed, slippers, towels, water, tea and coffee and a wonderful comfy bed. We slept really well, in fact best nights sleep we have had for a long time. We stayed in foxes room.

In the heart of the town, only a short walk away from the main street. The staff all make every effort to accommodate any requests and really make this place what it is. The young lady in charge of dinner each evening was very capable as was Josie who in the morning seemed to manage the breakfast service single handed. All the food was well made, we ate at there on each of our three nights. It was very clear that there is a strong local customer base which is a good sign. Breakfast was also well made. There is a small supplement (£6.95?) if you want to choose from the continental and cooked meals otherwise one or other is included. The room was tight on space but clean and comfortable. Bigger rooms were available. The Wi-Fi is good and worked right at the top of the building. Follow the directions/instructions sent by the owners as satnavs don’t always find the carpark at the rear of the building and the front is not accessible by car. A very friendly, quirky, arty accommodation refreshingly different to the run of the mill chain hotels.

Came to stay for 3 nights to attend an event. Great communication beforehand with messages advising us about parking and optional upgrading of breakfast to full English. Easy to find with good parking out back, with reasonable parking rates. Greeted by friendly manager and explained how to work the back door which can stick. Key however was attached to a large wooden panel making it not the most convieneinet thing to carry around. Room was stunning on entrance and had clearly been well decorated. However on closer inspection the room was really rather dusty and the quirky decor was in serious need of a dust, salt lamps in the room being very grubby. Bathroom very tired and in desperate need of updating as this is a stark contrast for the rest of the room. At night the room was stifling hot and only one small window to be opened, did not sleep. In addition the staff in the pub next door smoke directly below this window and strong whafts of cigarette smoke drift through. We looked for a desk fan but one wasn't included in the room. Breakfast was included in the booking but we opted to upgrade breakfast for both of us for both days, even if £10 each a day was a little steep. Service was nice and polite and breakfast clearly freshly cooked. However I did not think £10 each was value for money. Small portions and very average meal. We opted to go to the Wetherspoons the next morning and frankly got a better value for money, and enjoyable cooked breakfast for half the cost. We also found our room wasn't cleaned whilst we were out, when we asked about this its apparently due to covid restrictions. However we have stayed in other hotels during covid and this was not an issue. Gave the sense of lack of professionalism. Overall you can see alot of work has gone into this place but there are little things that just let it down. Also including the full English in the breakfasts you include with the booking would be good, this is one of the only establishments that ask you to pay extra for a cooked breakfast when they advertise 'Breakfast Included' on the booking.

Spotlessly clean room Comfy bed plenty of pillows staff very helpful and friendly Thought we could only have a continental breakfast but when we went down for breakfast menu on table and we had a choice We both had a full English with coffee and juice which was cooked well and great presentation
