Located in the heart of Bowness, Monties offers a mixed dining experience, celebrated for its friendly service and cozy ambiance. While many guests rave about the delicious food and comfortable accommodations—highlighting the tasty full English breakfast and dog-friendly atmosphere—some reviews express disappointment, particularly regarding value for money and occasional service lapses. A few visitors noted issues with food quality, such as unappetizing toast, and complaints from other patrons. Despite these drawbacks, its appealing setting and attentive staff seem to keep diners returning, ensuring Monties remains a worthwhile destination for those seeking charm and comfort.
