Perfect venue for special events!
The Monnington Lodge is an ideal venue for hosting special events. Those who had their special events here were more than satisfied by the arrangement of the venue and the food. For weddings, guests noted there was a sumptuous hot and cold buffet having adequate portions. In addition, the staff was also very helpful in setting up surprise parties according to some guests.

Fantastic pub offering great music
A lot of guests enjoyed the refreshing drinks and vibrant atmosphere of the pub. There is a DJ who offers great entertainment and live music. Furthermore, during Sundays, there's a lively singing night in which guests can participate.
positive:
Affordable prices yet exceptional service
The normal rates offered by this guesthouse are reasonable enough, yet there are times when the guests are given discounts due to the absence of certain amenities. Some guests also noted that the service given on-site was impeccable and top-notch!
Negative Reviews
negative:
Plumbing system has some problems
Guests complained about minor leaks in the bathrooms, which caused the floors to get wet and slippery sometimes. The noise of the toilets whenever they're flushed also disturbed the sensitive sleepers.
negative:
Minor issues with the rooms' cleanliness
A few guests said that they had to make their own beds for days. The housekeepers also missed emptying the trash bins, and the showers had a few moulds sometimes. However, the staff genuinely apologised and cleaned the areas upon notification.
negative:
Inadequate in-room amenities
Most of the guests noted that they were a bit bothered because there were no mirrors in some of the rooms. The electric sockets are also few, and some are not even working.
