Monmouth is a lovely town with lots of shops, market, places to eat and theatres. We stayed to go to the theatre and had an excellent evening show with Alfie Moore. There are excellent butcher shops and M&as food . There are lovely riverside walks and further afield the Forest of Dean to explore.

Monmouth itself is very pretty and quite touristy. We didn't spend too much time there but explored the countryside and villages around. We went to Symonds Yat, Tintern Abbey, Chepstow and a couple of castles. What a beautiful area. This area is also quite food-y. In fact the small restaurant we used on our first evening had a Michelin star - how lucky was that?

There isn't much to do here, but the point of our trip is always the same, so we do get a lot of enjoyment out of it.
People are so friendly and helpful. The only place I know where around 80% of the population say good morning, and acknowledge you.
Two definite recommendations - if going in August head to Harts (fantastically discounted bras and swimwear for the ladies), and don't leave without going to Coffee Lab. Superb!

Monmouth is a lovely small town, with an excellent array of shops, including many small specialised enterprises, some interesting historic buildings, beautiful countryside around and also very friendly people. There is plenty to do and see in the town and it is a great centre for visiting cities such as Cardiff, Hereford, Cheltenham and Bristol. Not far from Monmouth is Symonds Yat, on the border between England and Wales, and some fantastic border castles such as Goodrich, Skenfrith and the White Castle. Road links too are very good.

We did not stay long enough ( one night ) we will be going back to stay longer, it would be a good base to explore the area. It will be car based as Dr. Beeching put paid to to good public transport in the area.
Queens Head Inn was in a good location, a short 2-3 min walk to the Main Street and all other amenities. A historic building with all the olde world character you could wish for. Our room was comfortable, the breakfast excellent and Neil was full of information about the local area. A truly dog friendly pub too. So if you want a few nights in Monmouth or to break up a longer journey we would recommend the Queens Head Inn as a very good value for money place to stay - we certainly will if in the area again.
John's Lookout was the perfect property for our stay in Monmouth. The location was perfect - a few minutes walk into the town and very easily accessible to get onto the motorway. The view was absolutely amazing and the neighbourhood was quiet. The actual house was a home away from home with all the modern amenities and very nice finishes complete with outdoor entertainment area.
Hotel its self was fine it would been better if it was managed, the garage staff run the garage not a hotel , however it worked somehow, also lacking in the cleaning department, bins overflowing, rubbish in entrance not good first impressions walking in , room was tidy , in general not bad for the money
Absolutely lovely place to stay. Wonderful hosts, big room with huge en-suite and comfy bed. Was only there for one night, but would return in a heartbeat! Missed breakfast as had to make an early start, but it smelt and looked amazing.
Much better than a mainstream hotel. A great find. Well done folks!!
Breakfast was self-catering which was ideal for me since I don't like fitting with hotel timetables and don't always want a huge cooked meal. Bread, butter, milk and coffee were provided in the annex, along with excellent jams. Refills were no problem for the hosts. The room was very quiet.
Very convenient hotel. Spotless room. Best hot water shower out of 13 hotels we stayed so far on our holiday. Very friendly and helpful staff. Best value for our money. Highly recommend for any one. Really would like to come back to Monmouth and stay at Mayhill hotel.
We loved this pub stay, amazing find in the heart of Monmouth, Vickie (especially) & her lovely team made our anniversary stay extra special, so friendly & welcoming & can’t do enough for you, highly recommend a stay here, we’ll be back soon!
The Punch House was in central Monmouth and had lots of character. The room was comfortable and the standard menu of "pub grub" was fine. They do not serve breakfast but that was also fine as quite a few places to choose from nearby.
Neil was so friendly and interesting. The place is full of history and character and if you're looking to stay somewhere other than a typical hotel, then this place is for you. Original fireplaces from the 16th century. Amazing!
Very Good value for money.
Very good location.
Big room and en-suite. Clean and in good condition.
Wonderful breakfast.
Good hotel bar with Wifi and sport on TV.
Very helpful and nice staff.
We had a lovely couple of days.
The location was great exploring Monmouth,
The breakfast was wonderful.
lots of choice.
Filled up for the day.
Lydia the waitress was so nice and happy at breakfast
All of the staff at the hotel were nice and helpful.
Hotel was of good standard, bed a little too firm for me but bathroom clean and adequate. Building appears to have a slight tilt, room appeared to tilt slightly to one side along with some of the corridors.
The staff in this hotel are always friendly & eager to please, the housekeeping is to a high standard & the hotel is always keenly priced compared to others in the area (which are not to the same standard).
