Fish and chips were great! Everyone had a wonderful meal. We were with seniors as well as a baby in arms, and all enjoyed the food and service. Thanks, Monks.

Great atmosphere food was great. Tried their seafood chowder which really was lots of chunks of fish it was served with their amazing soda brown bread! Also got their fish pie. Two items not usually found in other menus around. The others had regular items...and the soup special which they loved.More

I stayed overnight recently - my room was magnificent, everything to a really high standard, including Voya toiletries. The bed was very comfortable. Delicious food - I had both dinner and breakfast. Alice in reception was very helpful. I'd highly recommend Monks as a place...to stay/eat.More

Have been to Monks a few times. This time the whole place has had a move over. It's very pleasant and tasetfully furnished. However I have to say I felt it lost some of its charm and atmosphere. The old place ouzed character. Having said...that I would really recommend visiting it. The location is along The Wild Atlantic Way which has stunning views and landscape. Ballyvaughan is also nice area to visit. We had a light lunch, I had mussels and the mandatory pint of Guinness. Beautiful. It gets very busy and would arrive early, think it opens at 1pm but worth checking their Web site.More

We had a fabulous meal here yesterday, oysters, chowder, guinness and beef stew. Service was superb! This was our first visit and we will definitely be back again. Thanks so much.

We had visited Monks about 20 years ago, loved it then, and it’s better now. We enjoyed a late lunch of a bowl of Seafood chowder and a pint of Guinness; maybe the best chowder in all County Clare! This is a special place with...an incredible ambiance.More

This has to be one of the best seafood restuarants that we have had the pleasure of dining in. The food was tasty as you can get. Expertly cooked to perfection. We will dine here again when next time in the area.

Lovely setting, top class accommodation, fantastic food, great staff…will look forward to next opportunity to visit.

Food was lovely. Dog friendly restaurant so we could bring our small Yorkshire terrier with us as we were on a day trip around co clare Lovely staff

Booked a 1 night stay at the Monks over the Easter weekend. A beautiful part of county Clare. Was greeted by a lovely girl on reception who showed us to a lovely room. There’s where the good thing ends ! Dinner was booked for 7,...was shown to our table immediately, table was set for two but had salt spilled on it and some kind of sticky sauce, and there was chips under my chair form the previous people. The table was cleaned when asked. We waited approximately 40 minutes after ordering and received our starters, which were ok. Main course was fillet of cod but it had to be returned as it was too cold to eat. The fish burger was just edible. Onto the breakfast… no cereals or fruit to be seen, orange juice was provided on request. Full Irish arrived without a fried egg but was given when asked. Eggs Benedict was poorly presented and the eggs were hard. The saving grace was the lovely brown bread. Coffee was served and there was more in the saucer than in the cup. A scene from Faulty Towers. Overpriced and Overrated.More

The seafood was perfect. The oysters fresh, perfectly shucked. The mussels plentiful and perfectly cooked in a great broth.

We stayed here for 3 nights and it was just brilliant. The room was spotless, great shower, comfy bed. The breakfast was also fab. Staff very friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. We dined here for 2 out of the 3 nights....Again food was outstanding. We made the very unfortunate mistake of dining at L'Arco Italian restaurant on one of the evenings. That was a total disaster. Half cooked food, unbelievably rude staff. Monks is such a breath of fresh air,More
