Really enjoyed our stay, very comfortable, clean and very well-equipped for everything. Local info and walking maps too- easy to take a hike - just walk out the door and up the path for great views of the beautiful countryside and the coast ! Great for star-gazing on a clear night- we saw the Milky-way and even a shooting star! It's a great base for exploring the surrounding area and the owners are very friendly. Would be very happy to stay there again :)

Comfortable, quiet and superbly equipped property. Very friendly proprietor. Many walks on the doorstep. Local hostelry friendly but offers fine dining at appropriate prices and does not offer meals every evening. When we were there dinner was not available on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday evenings.

A very warm welcome from Shelagh. The house is very well furnished and equipped, and had everything we needed for our 4 day stay. Set in a in quiet picturesque village it was ideal. There is a pub 2 mins away, Noteley Arms, but do not recommend it. £17 for a burger and fries that was too salty to finish. Ask Shelagh where else you could eat locally. Would definitely recommend Bridlecott.

The place is large enough for 4 people, very comfortable, nice big master bedroom. Everything you might need to cook your own meals is present. Very nice and helpfull owner! Loved talking to her! Very short walk to the local Notley Arms, which is always good to visit! Monksilver is an ideal little village to spend time, talk to the locals, have a wee walk, have a strong cider at the Notley's, discover the church's history and the grave of a mother and her daughter that were murdered over a century ago,... We'll definitely be back!
