We've stayed at the Monsal head on a couple of occasions and still find it a magical location, the views really are stunning. The rooms are comfortable, but can be a little cold in the winter months. Bathrooms functional but a little on the small side. The breakfast room/restaurant while serving great food is a little sterile - You will... More

My husband booked us a room for the weekend as a surprise birthday treat. The location is wonderful, the views are fantastic. We could not fault a thing with this hotel. The staff were lovely, nothing was too much trouble. The room, although old fashioned, was clean and comfy and the views were stunning. Last, but not least the food... More

We visited the Monsal Head for a meal later on in the afternoon on New Years Eve. There were 10 of us and despite the staff getting ready for the evening, they made us feel very welcome - and our two dirty dogs too! We rested on sofas in the lounge until our meal was ready - and the food... More

I have lived close to the Monsal Head for 10 years now, and I have drank in the bar quite a lot, and dined in the restaurant every now and then. If you want a decent pint (usually plenty of choice of real ales), a sandwich and one of the best views in the country, then this is the place... More

We got this on a bed and breakfast deal for £59 per night, what a bargain, comfy bed,very warm could do with a lick of paint but this is a little gem, staff are very attentive without being in your face, food excellent. More
