Very quiet and short walk to shops. Town was not very busy considering it is the county capital. Plenty of shops from Waitrose, M&S, Iceland, Fat Face, Joules , White Stuff and most bars were open at night unlike some of the surrounding towns. Symonds Yat is worth a visit if you have time as it is so peaceful plus they serve Welsh Black lamb

Itâs clean, well equipped and spacious. The courtyard garden is well maintained and attractive. We are familiar with the town of Monmouth so we knew where we could find free parking but there are plenty of car parks within the town. We would stay here again.

It was very central and very easy access to the things we required. We did have slight issue with some basic food, milk being left for us which was an excellent and helpful gesture. On arrival only half of what had been mentioned was there. It had no real bearing on our stay. Overall a very enjoyable stay in Monmouth.
