My wife and I had a terrible experience at this place, and we moved to another B&B. The owner was very aggressive; she was always stressed and speaking in an impolite and aggressive way. Adding to that, we switched twoo rooms; both were very uncomfortable. They were noisy because they were right on the street, the beds were very uncomfortable,... More

It is unfortunate that despite every effort made by our staff to accommodate and attend to this guests needs and requirements when they stayed with us 9 months ago, that such a negative review was put forward. However, other reviews and comments in our visitors book for that same weekend, last year were much more appreciative and friendly. More

I stayed here on the Easter weekend and had a wonderful time. It is right in the centre of Bowness so really handy for getting out and about! The rooms are spotless and beautifully decorated. The staff could not be more helpful and to finish it all off the breakfast was spot on. Thank you for a very enjoyable stay... More

I chose Monties as a last minute birthday getaway for myself, partner and 18 month old son. Our room (Room 7) was a large room with a small en suite with shower. Very tastefully decorated, clean and had everything which we required. It was wonderfully warm which was great as the day we arrived was very snowy! A cot was... More

Perfect location - would definately recommend... More
