Booked dinner here for our anniversary - did not disappoint! Wonderful fresh, made to order menu options courtesy of the clearly very experienced & passionate chef. Excellent and very friendly host. We will be back & will bring friends with us - we are very hard to please so view this as a complete endorsement! If you are reading this just get a table booked!!!

We stayed here for a Saturday night and were made to feel really welcome by pur hosts Annette and Andy. The room was well equipped and the bed and bedding were extremely comfortable and of a high quality. The garden courtyard and dining room are charming. We enjoyed a delicious hand picked breakfast prepared by Andy. Lovely

Ample parking. Initial impressions were good but the welcome was certainly not warm. We had booked their supposedly deluxe room and on first impressions, it looked lovely but on closer inspection, there were quite a number of issues. The king size bed was 2 singles put together, fair enough but there was a big dip in the middle of the bed. No instructions on how to use the shower and after trying to work it out, I had burned my ankle with the steam and hurt my eyes trying to use the shampoo etc., which was difficult to get the pump working. After I had used the shower, it just would not go on for my partner to use. The bath was absolutely lovely but on enjoying that you look up and see the dirty light and a fan full of cobwebs and dust!! Towels are changed next day but cafetiere was overlooked and we had to ask for a fresh one. It's a pre-order breakfast but it's 1 of everything and only sourdough bread. I was hungry the second morning however it was a great sausage. Owner spoke on the last day but had strongly critiqued another table who had questioned their order. She was very unapproachable and not around when guests were leaving but to cap it all...just leaving and pulled bed blanket down to find on my side of the bed a painted toe nail. Photos to follow.

Very good 3 night stay. Home baked bread and biscuits were a definite highlight, none of the supermarket bread at the Salty Monk. The key for us was that Annette and Andy really cared about ensuring we were cared for during our stay. Breakfast was freshly cooked and very good. The only slight issue we had was the bath room was initially cold but heated up over our stay. Would strongly recommend the Salty Monk.

Just stayed at The Salty Mink for our double birthday celebration. Well worth the journey down. The Iris suite was one of the best I've stayed in. Spacious and comfortable. Had a couple of the breakfasts and really enjoyed them. The cook was certainly top notch. Partook in an afternoon tea and the sandwiches,scones, and cakes were a memorable birthday treat. Absolutely love The Salty Monk and will return again. Ideally located for Seaton and Sidmouth.

We needed a break, nothing too far away, and we wanted somewhere relaxing. I have passed by the Salty Monk and always thought I would like to stay there, and I am so glad we did, lovely room and location. Perfect stay, had a wonderful bath and steam shower, breakfast was first class, the owner was friendly and helpful and nothing was to much trouble for them.

Blown away by the creativity and execution of the menu. My wife and I had a memorable early Valentines supper. Our hosts were extremely attentive and engaging, they happily answered all my questions regarding the dishes. Will certainly be going again (hopefully soon!)

Lovely , friendy B&B. We stayed in a twin Room which opened up onto the stunning Garden. The room was very clean and the Beds were exceptionally comfy. The breakfast was great, lots of choice . I had fruit compote And full English with poached egg. I have to say that the Black pudding was the best I've ever tasted . Also lovely sour dough toast which I believe is home made . Annette & Andy were very Friendly hosts . We only stayed the one night, but I would definitely return for another weekend break soon.
