Nice little old bridge and a look over in to the river. You probably won't spend more than 5-10 minutes here, but nice to see when visiting Monmouth.

Very old bridge located in Monmouth. One very impressive piece of history that dates almost a thousand years ago. Highly recommended stop for free.

Fascinating-If only you could go inside woukd be 5☆

Amazingly preserved tower upon one of the approaches to Monmouth. Such a delight to spend a few hours exploring the town and learn a little more about the importance of this part of the country in our history.

Lovely old medieval bridge in Monmouth. Obviously, pedestrian only.

The Monnow Bridge is a historic landmark in the city of Monmouth, Wales. This impressive stone bridge, believed to have been built in the early 13th century, spans the Monnow River and provides a vital crossing point for both pedestrians and vehicles. As an admirer of historic architecture, I was immediately struck by the Monnow Bridge's elegant and enduring design. Its sturdy stone pillars and rounded arches offer a glimpse into the engineering and craftsmanship of the medieval period. The views from the bridge are also stunning, with the picturesque river and surrounding greenery creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the Monnow Bridge is also a testament to the enduring legacy of Welsh history. It has withstood the test of time and remains a vital part of Monmouth's identity and heritage. Visitors to the area should definitely take the time to cross the bridge and experience its charm for themselves. Overall, the Monnow Bridge is a fascinating and historically significant attraction that is well worth a visit. Its unique design and stunning location make it an excellent destination for both tourists and locals alike.

I’m giving this 5* primarily on its historic significance. Monnow Bridge in Monmouth isn't just any old bridge; it's a medieval marvel that has stood the test of time, offering a unique glimpse into the past with every step you take across it. As the last surviving fortified river bridge in Britain with its gate tower standing proudly on the bridge itself, it's like walking through a portal to the 13th century. Originally built to defend the town, Monnow Bridge has seen centuries come and go, with its stones bearing witness to countless stories. The charm of the bridge lies not just in its historical significance but also in its picturesque setting, making it a photographer's dream and a history enthusiast's delight. Strolling across this ancient structure, you can't help but feel a deep connection to the generations that have crossed it before you. The bridge isn't just a crossing point over the River Monnow; it's a monument to medieval engineering, resilience, and the rich tapestry of Welsh history.

This caravan park really ticks all the boxes for us. After many years of touring and trying to find a site that offered the peace and quiet we wanted to relax but had pubs, restaurants and shops within walking distance, we had almost given up when we stumbled across this site. We were fortunate to secure a 12 month seasonal pitch just over 2 years ago and haven't looked back. In addition to the town with a good choice of places to eat and shops being within an easy walking distance of under 10 minutes, the club have their own dog friendly clubhouse serving bar meals and an excellent Sunday roast which we can highly recommend. The park is peaceful and quiet and a lovely setting, yet a stones throw from Monmouth town. The park itself is clean, beautifully presented and immaculately clean. The owners and all staff at the campsite are friendly and helpful without being overbearing and there is a sense of community on the site where everyone is friendly and passes the time of day with you. We enjoy mostly every weekend and the occasional week up there and it's a lovely relaxing place to be. Highly recommend.

We had an annual pitch but following being flooded and losing our caravan (site has been flooded previously but we weren’t informed of this) we have been faced with nothing but belligerence from the site staff and owners. Don’t ask to move pitch to a higher location as response will be; this is a caravan park not a merry-go-round. Thankfully there were a few lovely couples on the site which we are so pleased to have met. Needless to say we will be moving on not trusting our new van with potential of flood and certainly won’t miss the loud weekend parties from groups of vans pitching up to celebrate birthdays etc during the summer months. Only good comment is toilets and showers were very clean hence the 2 stars.

Excellent clean and well maintained. Small site. Showers, toilets, water, and waste disposal. X 2 dogs allowed included in the price. A bar that opens from 6.30-11am. Food stops at 8.30pm. Cans available at £4.00 each. A short walk into town. The food was excellent. If you stay for Sunday lunch, you can leave for 3 pm, i believe. Would stay again. Thank you.

Update - beautiful meals now available at the clubhouse. Sunday lunch even comes with a free, extended stay on your pitch until mid-afternoon !! Lovely rural backdrop, great views, while being a short and level, 8 min walk into Monmouth town. Award-winning chippy 2 mins walk away, alongside a co-op. Town has a good-sized Waitrose, some excellent restaurants, beautiful walks etc. Proprietors are lovely. Atmosphere friendly. Loos always very clean with plenty of hot water, as is washing up area. Site has been renovated, with all pitches now level hardstanding. Clubhouse up and running. Yat rock just 15 mins drive away !

What a beautiful find! Hubby suggested Monmouth for an overnight stay in our campervan. I found Monmouth Caravan Park via Google. We arrived and were greeted by the owner. Checking in was straightforward, and we were shown onto the site. There's a friendly bar on site, serving food and drinks. Immaculate toilets and shower facilities, beautiful views, and just a 5 minute walk to town. We really enjoyed our stay. We had a fab night in the bar, and the food was lovely. Thank you to all the staff who made us so welcome. We'll definitely be back!

A great place to stay with your caravan or motorhome. Very clean and tidy and that includes the toilets and showers. The place is ideally situated on the outskirts of the town, which is only a short walk away.

What a great site. I came across it by chance on line and booked 2 nights from 25/02/2025. We were welcomed onto the park and shown to our pitch which was perfect and could tether our two dogs right next to our motorhome. The owners are very friendly and chatty. The site is absolutely spotless and well kept as are the toilets, showers and wash up areas. It is also lovely and quiet. :Location is perfect and very close to town, just a 5 minute walk away. Great lane and fields where we could exercise the dogs right next door. They have a club house and do food but at the moment only open on the weekend. It would be lovely to sample that and prices were very reasonable on the menu. We will definitely return though I would have thought you would have to book quite a few weeks in advance. Could not fault one this about it.

Monmouth Castle is a site steeped in history, standing as a proud reminder of Monmouth's strategic importance through the centuries. Birthplace of Henry V, one of England's most famed kings, this castle whispers tales of medieval might and royal legacy. Founded in the late 11th century, Monmouth Castle has witnessed significant historical events, evolving from a Norman fortress to a symbol of English power in Wales. Although much of the original structure has succumbed to time, the remaining ruins still offer a fascinating glimpse into the past. As you explore the remnants of this once-mighty castle, you're walking in the footsteps of knights, nobles, and even a future king. The site's historical plaques bring to life the stories of sieges, royal births, and the strategic importance of Monmouth in controlling the Welsh Marches. Despite the passage of time, Monmouth Castle remains a poignant landmark in the town's landscape. Its ruins serve not just as a historical attraction but as a testament to the rich tapestry of British and Welsh history intertwined within these walls.

I had a great day in the sunshine 🌞 today, first time I visited this special place and will be going back in the summer 😎

Free great views lovely roads, especially if you are a biker.

Brilliant place the ruins are fantastic toilets are by the bus/coach park you can also park your cars there a park and small playground opposite plus the river running through it a small but well worth gem to visit

Nice little town with castle ruins. Lots of small shops and cafes here to enjoy the day. It's definitely worth visiting if you passing by.

It's a very small ruined castle. Worth looking at when in Monmouth but it isn't worth a specific trip to see. There are much more interesting castles in the local area.

An interesting place, remains of the castle and also a regimental Museum, which is open in the afternoons from April to October

Lovely place and full of historical interest. Good photo exhibition and great informative videos on history of Monmouth including much about the Chartist movement. Lovely lady who greets you at the entrance, and is very informative and friendly. Really knowledgeable, especially about the Chartists, who were tried at the upstairs courthouse, in 1840. Really enjoyed my visit. Would highly recommend!

Well worth a visit especially if you are interested in Newport Rising. Had a wonderful afternoon here. Very interesting to walk in the steps that John Frost walked and to stand in the court room and also dress up and then go down to the cells. And the staff were just amazing and chatted to us for a bit about John Frost.

Experience the old courthouse at Monmouth for free with interactive role play and a walkaround the old courthouse with glimpses of what happens to the accused a great add to your trip to Monmouth

An amazing place to visit.. the Courtroom, cells are history are amazing.. A great place to visit for a hour..

Interesting building to visit, we enjoyed dressing up in the court room and exploring the cells. Free to enter but donations welcome.

Interesting exhibits - you can see the cramped holding cells in the basement then go upstairs to see the courtroom in all it's grandeur. There's also an exhibition of local history and a gift shop. Well worth stopping in for an hour or two to have a good poke around

Wow what a gem of a museum and a bonus that its free, I had no idea shire hall was the court room used to find John Frost guilty. Very good video on the trial, so interesting, plus you can also dress up. You can also see the holding cells. Lots to see very good for children well worth a visit.

This wonderful and historical theatre is nestled in a small cafe-lined alley in the beautiful town of Monmouth. We spent the whole day here when we attended a recent film festival and we were struck by the level of care and hard work the volunteers who run the theatre clearly do on a day-to-day basis.

A lovely old theatre with helpful staff, a very small bar area but a bar setup in the auditorium to get drinks and take back to your seat. Surprisingly, plenty of leg room between the seats.

It's like going back in time ...wonderful place great movie screen great sound. really clean ..... Refreshments from coffee to cider sweets to popcorn 🍿 My go to cinema from now on ..... You wont be dissapointed!!!! Take some leaflets home with you and share them with your friends and family..... Support local... 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿😘🍿😇👏

We had a very strange and condescending interaction from a member of the savoy theatre staff. We definitely got a ‘there is nothing for you here vibe’ from a staff member on the door. A simple question of what is on tonight was met with the reply ‘nothing on’. The man wouldn’t even look us in the eye. Luckily everyone else we spoke to in Monmouth seemed very kind and welcoming.

Grade 2 listed in need of decoration. Saved from demolition and operates both as a theatre and a cinema. Run by enthusiastic volunteers and a professional core crew. It hosted the Talking Pictures TV film weekend @talkingpicsTV (really good two day bash!) One of several held around the country during the year.

Not your average multi plex but a blast from the past! Watch in a cinema just like it used to be and all the better for it. Give it a go you won't be disappointed.

Love this little retro hideaway! It's perfect for a cosy evening watching a film. It's surprisingly quiet too and, in turn, very reasonably priced. It's our new go-to cinema, even if we have to wait a while to see what we want.

Whoever made the new sensory area in the soft play happen, well done!! It is awesome and children absolutely love it. So nice to see something like this being done, can’t thank you enough!

Review of the pool. Some days it’s 2 stars. Some days it’s 3. It’s somewhere in the middle. The pool is decent but it can run very cold (my daughter always wears a wetsuit) and the changing rooms are unbearably cold in the winter. The floor isn’t kept clean nor dry in the changing rooms and it often smells strongly of urine. The toilets and changing cubicles are typically fine. You need a £1 for the lockers. The staffing levels tend to be off — usually not enough so you can wait a long time just to get in for a session and they stop you getting changed if the current swim lesson session runs over so you’re paying for less time. If you join a family fun swim session (only 45 mins) late or even from the beginning you can’t be in the pool for the next public swim slot that is 3 hours even though you pay the same for the 3 hours as you would for 45 mins. A handful of toys and some armbands doesn’t make it worthwhile. The pool is well set up for children. They have a small slide and the edges of the pool meet the water level which makes it easy to get in and out. The membership is a pain: they have an app but managing the membership is all done over the phone or via email.

Will definitely keep visiting when in the area. Pros - Really good venue, helpful staff, excellent soft play area, affordable, enough parking. Cons - App for booking is OK but a little truncated, squash courts are average quality (slightly soft flooring so less bounce), swimming lessons for toddlers requires commitment for a lot of sessions.

Lovely staff. Centre clean with great facilities. V welcoming

Soft play facilities are just to small and often don't have space or capacity.

Pretty unclean, lots of overdue maintenance, and they peddle the most unhealthy food and drink options in the cafe which is disappointing.

Great service, good value, nice facilities

Exceptional day out on the River Wye. The 30-degree heat made the experience feel like I was paddling down a river on another continent—great service and support were also provided by Sue and Graham. Can't wait for my next adventure

Just got back from a fabulous 2hr canoe along the river. Lovely to see the swans and their signets. As well as many other birds and ducks. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Despite my husband and I being OAP's the 2 hrs was perfect.

brilliant canoe hire, really friendly and caring older couple who run it. when you arrive they set you up with the equipment and they give you a really informative and detailed briefing of the route. you then head to the river bank by the rowing club where your canoes are waiting. a really scenic route to whitebrook passing bridges and a few small rapids. lovely pub the boat half way.

Had a great time on the river, stopped halfway, very relaxing time. For the price, it was VERY worth it. If you're staying near here, don't pass up a relaxing trip

Brilliant experience. We hired a 3 person canoe for a half day, from Monmouth to Whitebrook. Good instructions on the route before we set off and collected in a minibus at the end to take us back to the start. Loads of wildlife on the river - Herons, Kingfishers, and my favourite, a Dipper.

Had a brilliant 4 hrs canoeing along the river Wye. Weather was a bonus ( nothing to do with the canoe hire company 😉) and it was such a gentle, peaceful and picturesque experience. The stop halfway along at the Boathouse Inn for refreshments was great (food and coffees excellent!) Full explanation of the obstacles along the river and a quick run through of our canoe ( for us novices!) was delivered in a professional manner. All the staff very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Equipment very good ( even providing water proof containers for those valuables) Very reasonable prices. Would definitely do it again, maybe on the longer trip. Thankyou for a super experience

Fantastic company to deal with. Sue and Graham with their team make it so easy to organise a day on the river. On the day comprehensive safety briefing, simple instructions and seamless service and we were on the river. The river is so majestic with an abundance of bird life. We saw a couple of Kingfishers that are such a treat. Could not recommend a day on the water with Monmouth Canoe hire enough.

Just had a great stay here on our annual golf trip. Great location, nice rooms, hearty breakfasts and the ladies looked after us really well. Looking forward to next year's visit ☺️

Stayed here for 2 nights a few weeks ago to attend a local wedding. The room was lovely and had everything you needed. The pub itself was very popular with the locals and this added to the friendly atmosphere. Would definitely stay again.

What a wonderful place to stay, rooms are beautiful,clean and full of character. Staff are attentive and the atmosphere is great. Sitting outside in the sun on the cobbles was a bonus eating our food. One major thing for us is that it’s dog friendly (treats available) Will definitely stay again as Monmouth is a lovely town

Came in for a drink and to watch the football this evening. Very dog- and people-friendly. Staff gave us a lovely welcome and offered our dog a bed! She’s been asleep about 2 hours now. I don’t think she’s going to want to leave!

Great place to stay, slap bang in the centre of Monmouth and very close to Glendower car park. Comfortable rooms and excellent breakfast, very good value for money. Tash and team really friendly and helpful, nothing too much trouble. Definitely the best place to stay in Monmouth!

Incredibly rude service, older woman on the bar refused further service as "the girls look too young", despite them providing valid ID. Seems like a local pub which looks down on outsiders. If I could leave 0 stars I would, DO NOT reccomend.

Based on reviews we went in to what I thought was going to a lovely place to relax for a few hours for us and are two dogs. To find a yawning greeting. A tub of dog treats but not a lot else. Watched other people and dogs go in and out while we had a drink and not a bye or leave. Really average pub. No sign of a doggy menu as the review suggests. No saying not to go. Just a normal boozer with tied staff. Xx

We sat in the restaurant, it's clean , comfortable and warm. Ventilation prehaps isn't the best, so had the large folding doors into the garden not been open. I think it would have been a tad smelly ( past the normally chippy smell before someone says that ) The garden is great and has several tables with umbrellas in an enclosed area. Toilets are clean and well maintained. Food across the board looked good, I wasn't a fan of my haddock in beer batter so would choose something else next time like the scampi which a friend had and it was good or the chicken stripes which where great too. The staff here are absolutely brilliant so helpful and friendly we were a large group and they dealt with us well, it was also busy either other groups. One of the staff members' family members, maybe the daughter, was helping out and was so excited to be doing so and was doing a great job, well done to them. In all a great chippy and would recommend Thank you to all the staff on a hot and busy night

Chips are fine. Sadly everything else needs an overhaul. Had to ask if they were serving after entering the chip shop while standing patiently to be served. Unwelcoming service and I’ll let you pass judgement on the fish. Batter was not to my liking. Soggy and soft. Queens Fish and Chip shop will be my go to from now on. A little effort and a friendly approach would be an easy fix.

A quick meal with decent chips but the extras need some work. We don't eat fish but were looking for a nice place to eat. We ate inside which is at the back of the shop. A quaint inside cafe with a nice outside dining area right next o the Monnow bridge. The chips were fresh and not too oily. We have 2 portions just chips and 2 with cheese and beans. Both were nice but the cheese was a bit weird and not to our taste. Beans were decent. Cost seemed a bit steep fro what it was and we had people with us from London! A nice meal with great friendly service by staff and decent atmosphere for a chippie 😁

If I could give minus stars I would, paid £26.00 for fish and chips for me and my wife . The chips where un-eatable the worse chips I’ve ever had all I can think is they had gone cold and been re fried and the fish soggy, chips were that bad and as you can see by the pictures one broke a filling. We had to throw most of the chips away… 1st time last time using this establishment and last time.. There a chip shop at the top of the road opposite Iceland I recommend them…

Normal food is fine, but o not have the cheeper smaller seniors meals. The fish was dry and hard. Seniors food should be better than the normal food, no wonder the aged can't eat when it's that bad.🤬🤬🤬

Got some fish and chips, jacket potatoes, cheesy chips and halloumi fries. Prices were reasonable and portions were really good. Quick service but the lady who served the food was a bit short on responses which felt unwelcoming. Probably because they were busy. Plenty of seating inside the shop or even just outside, there are benches to sit and enjoy your food to good views. You may have to share your food with the swans and ducks lurking around though. Definitely recommend it and might go back again.

Why is it that, nice looking places turn out not so nice? Fish was over battered ( crispier than others ) like crisps falling off, chips were only a few full ones ( buried beneath was scraps). This was eating in, so would not like to see what you get when you take it out. Maybe they don't really like passing trade 🤔🤔, service was nothing special either.

such lovely food here! one of my favourite spots. really filling and tasty portions. love the vibes and the staff are always so kind. wish it was busier for them because it’s my favourite date night spot :) (see pic for delicious chimichangas)

We went here while away for the week in Gloucestershire (yes, this is Monmouth😅), celebrating our wedding anniversary. Someone was also celebrating a 40th birthday so we all sang to him🎂. Food was delicious, plentiful, hubby had chimichanga (pulled pork), I had salmon with the best wedge potatoes I have ever tasted! Fab starters and dessert, came to ours than£80 with 4 drinks also, really reasonable we thought.

Excellent food and service , came here from the Midlands for a day out and pre booked a table and asked them to arrange some balloons for the table . They did this for me , table looked lovely surrounded with all the Mexican props and Birthday Banner . The food was out of this world , served to our tastes and piping hot . Large portions too , excellent value and perfect customer service.

Frozen, lifeless food, nothing fresh, tasteless food, we spent £30 a head and left half of both dishes, bland and almost inedible. The owner is really nice, and the layout/decor is nice, but the food sadly has gone down in the year I've gone there. Would not return again. They need a new chef who have passion for fresh food.

Visited for the first time tonight and loved it. Our friends have been banging on about this place for years and now I can understand why. Great food, great service and friendly atmosphere. Can't wait to visit again soon!!

What a wonderful evening of food. Delicious and so tasty. Service was excellent and our waiter was so much fun. We very much enjoyed our meal and will certainly return soon. Highly recommend

A very friendly restaurant that serves with a smile and customers leave happy! The food is very delicious and bursting with indo- Mexican fusion flavors. The dishes are not only amazing to taste but also well presented and very appealing to the eyes

Popped in whilst exploring Monmouth Castle, Priory Church and other sites of interest in the town. Perhaps it was my own fault as I arrived around 12:30pm and asked if it would be possible to get a breakfast. They stop serving breakfasts at 12. They kindly agreed to accommodate me and made a breakfast for me. Sadly though it wasn’t great. The mushrooms honestly felt and tasted like they had been dehydrated. There was just no moisture left in them whatsoever. The beans were cold and the eggs overcooked. In hindsight, which truly is a wonderful thing, I should have just gone with their lunch menu or sought somewhere else that offered an all day brekkie. For £12.50 I expected better unfortunately.

photo of my meal a BLT Opposite one a cheese and ham. Come with chips or crisps. No butter on bread. Very clean toilets Dog friendly.

Visited Wednesday for the steak night - nice seat by the window. My wife upgraded to the sirloin and I had the standard rump. Bottle of wine went down well and so did the food. Managed to eat dessert as well. Couldn't fault it - good service and nice atmosphere. Thanks guys.

Had a lovely freshly cooked meal. Very generous portion neither of us could eat it all. They prefer cash but we paid by card

☆☆☆☆☆ Superb roast dinner, bread and butter pudding, and custard. What a suprise, what a find , the chef cooks food beautifully. Excellent service from friendly staff. Good selection of drinks. Nice restaurant Highly recommended

Lovely little pub. The food was very good but what made it especially great was the excellent service from the friendly bar staff. Absolute must if you're dining/drinking in Monmouth. I will be coming back the next time I'm passing through.

Stopped here on a recommendation from a friend. We weren't disappointed we had the The Blue Mooo Burger which was absolutely delicious, fresh burger patties brioche bun blue cheese perfect. I recommend the homemade onion rings too as they're made properly! Service was great and couldn't be more accommodating! Staff friendly, informative and helpful. Great atmosphere too! Recommend to others to come here.

Value for money..hit the mark. Seating gave a great view, people behind might day very differently reveiw. Pairs of seats at same height! Rear seats good leg room, front seats veiws no leg room. First time here, not problem happy to return!

Went to see an NT Live screening. Good projection and sound. But be aware that the seating is less than comfortable. The limited legroom rows are indeed quite cramped for an adult, and the limited view seats mean there's a row of people and heads (suffering limited legroom) directly in front of you and on the same level. For a performance where the house isn't full you can probably move about to find a seat with legroom AND an unobstructed view of the stage or screen. But neither seating option is entirely brilliant for fully grown adults attending longer performances if the house is full.

Saw Suzie Dent but the sound system was quite poor and I missed a lot of what she spoke about. Lovely modern theatre but do not sit in the front row if you have long legs! My first visit but probably not my last.

Lovely place our first visit, great seat's very comfortable.

Went there Tuesday 4th Mar to buy tickets for a show. Met Fiona, what a delightful and lovely lady. Very helpful and thoughtful we booked and will be back. Fiona is so good at her job such a pleasure for me and my friend thank you x

Good atmosphere and comfortable seating. View of the stage was good. Sound quality was poor (high volume causing distortions)

Went to see Totally Tina here. What a lovely little theatre. Fantastic show too

A nice, peaceful and relaxing garden to go to. Completely hidden, we found it by accident when walking up a side street. Entrance to the garden is a bit unusual, as you have to go through someone's back garden or a tunnel from the communal playing fields. Admiral Horatio Nelson famously visited in 1802, and there is still a plaque above the seat he sat in. There is also a mostly intact heated wall, one of the few remaining examples in Wales. The garden has recently been funded by the Heritage Lottery and has been restored by a group of local volunteers. The garden is only open during the Summer months of April and October.

Very pretty hidden garden. Suited the Bees for Development Bee Festival very well.

Lovely little garden. Tucked away in a very secret garden like area. Unknown to many so it's a nice little place to be able to go and chill out ad relax. Surrounded by beautiful flowers and bird song definitely a place to visit while your in Monmouth.

Beautiful gardens with lots of interesting information about the garden.

A secret hidden gem in Monmouth. Beautifully maintained, tranquil. Worth a visit.

A nice medium sized brick walled garden with a large lawned area. With a look when open.

My uncle spoke of his friendship with the Rolls family and what they did for the town. This is a fitting tribute to the pioneer, who after cofounding the Rolls-Royce company died young at the age of 32 in a flying display, See Wikipedia.

The statue in Monmouth was commissioned to commemorate his achievement as the first person to fly non-stop both ways across the English Channel. No mean feet a little bit of history if you have 5 minutes.

Wonderful statue.

It's a brilliant gallery. The range of art works showing is always remarkable. The exhibits change on a regular basis so there's always something new to see. The owner is knowledgeable, thoughtful and friendly. It's my favourite place in Monmouth.

Good selection of paintings and sculptures by modern artists. The designs are contempory and the costs are very high, but reflect the time and skills used in the creative process.

Beautiful gallery with fabulous work. Always a friendly welcome. A breath of fresh air to see a gallery genuinely passionate about the artwork and artists they work with. Keep up the great work!

Visiting Brecon for the day and found this gallery. Beautiful space, lovely themed displays. Te owner was very welcoming, helpfull but not intrusive. Well worth a visit

Lovely jewellery, unique pieces

Nice scenic area in the summer close to the town and rowing club

Good place to hand around with family and or friends

Picturesque place - loved it.

🌞😁

I drowned.

While driving through, we phoned and had a table on the off chance. On arrival, we were welcomed with open arms, and it soon became apparent that we were lucky enough to have the last table that evening. Such delicious food, all freshly prepared, even made us a coffee to take with us in the car to continue our journey! Well deserving of a 5 ⭐️ review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What an excellent place! We love thai food and was not disappointed. Can adapt practically everything to vegan as all made from scratch which was fantastic for us plus we we able to take the dogs as we often find it difficult to find places that cater to both. We had veg spring rolls, tofu pad thai without egg and tofu Massaman curry. Delicious and they do takeaway too! Would have definitely gone back if we’d been staying for longer and will return if in the area again!

Wonderfully pleasant and friendly proprietor. Only popped in for coffee ☕️ but noticed an excellent 👌 selection of Thai cuisine on offer. Treat yourself by visiting one day!

Really enjoyed my experience at Whole Earth Bistro! It's so nice to have an alternative cuisine in Monmouth that is full of flavour. The staff are friendly and helpful, the service was great and bring your own booze is a little bonus. We had quite a feast with spring rolls, prawn toast and king prawn butterfly to start and pad Thai for mains. So tasty, will definitely be back!

Went for their green curry with tofu and Pad Nam Prik Poa with tofu mushrooms. The curries were freshly cooked and exactly what we needed after our day of hiking. Love the idea of a cafe and Thai bistro because we also took some cake home for later which was also delicious.

We ordered the Massaman curry and the Pad Thai. I’d originally planned to have the Panang curry, but changed my mind after reading some great reviews about the Pad Thai—unfortunately, I wish I hadn’t. I’ve been to Thailand a few times and I’ve never had a Pad Thai quite like this. It was overloaded with grated carrot, which completely overpowered the dish. When I asked, I was told they also don’t use tamarind paste in their version. For me, that’s a key ingredient—without it, the dish lacked the signature tang and depth that make Pad Thai what it is. As a result, it was very bland and lacked the flavour I was expecting. The chicken itself was nicely cooked. The Massaman curry tasted decent, but the beef was sliced into very thin slithers rather than the usual tender chunks we’ve had in the past. The service was warm and the lady we spoke with was very kind, which we appreciated. However, the food just didn’t live up to our personal expectations, especially for the price we paid. Sadly, we left disappointed and wouldn’t recommend based on this experience.

Lovely cafe, really friendly and great food. I had Tom Yum soup with mushrooms and chicken satay, it was all cooked really nicely and absolutely delicious.

I stayed for one night. After a long drive, getting lost and tired, I found myself in such a lovely place. Upon entering Creates, I was warmly welcomed. My room was delightful with great attention paid to small little details such as an eye mask and ear plugs. The staff couldn’t have done more, making my stay easy, relaxing and somewhere I’d come back to. I highly recommend this little boutique hotel.

The Monmouth Hidden Gem You’ll Wish You’d Found Sooner 👀 ✨ In the heart of Monmouth sits @creates_monmouth - part boutique hotel, part bistro, part gallery of creativity. Since 2020, it’s been lovingly transformed by Kenny & Ben (yes, the Channel 4 Four in a Bed winners 👏). Step inside and you’ll spot Ben’s @benjohnprice genius everywhere - from the cosy boutique-style rooms, to his jaw-dropping seasonal felt displays (that fox outside? Unreal 🦊), to the bespoke lamps he’s crafted for celebs like P!nk Alison Hammond and David Attenborough. It’s that perfect mix of comfort and creativity. 💡 And then there’s Russell, @feastandforno_ the head chef with a passion for the Mediterranean. His menu takes you from Greece to Italy without even leaving Monmouth - gyros, arancini, lamb kleftiko, tiramisu… all gluten free (but you’d never guess), best of all? It was all DIVINE! 🤤 Here’s what we tried 👇 🍤 Crab Arancini Golden, crisp, filled with rich crabby goodness. Crunch outside, creamy indulgence inside. 🍅 Caprese Salad Fresh mozzarella, juicy tomatoes, fragrant basil. Simple, but perfectly executed. 🐟 Beer-Battered Monkfish Scampi Light, crisp batter with delicate monkfish. A clever, elevated twist on a classic. I could’ve eaten that batter all day it was so gorgeous. 🍗 Chicken Gyros Juicy, spiced chicken, warm pita, garlicky tzatziki. A proper flavour hug. 🍰 Tiramisu Layers of mascarpone, coffee-soaked sponge, and cocoa. Light yet indulgent - one of the best. ✨ Creates is more than a place to eat - it’s a destination. With boutique rooms, stunning interiors, and a menu full of passion, it’s a true Monmouth gem. Thank you Russell, Ben & Kenny for having us, and we will HAVE to come back and try your roast or a brunch sometime 😉 ad | invite

A lovely little find when stopping off in Monmouth. Welcomed by very friendly staff who are obviously take pride in their restaurant and the customer service they provide. Food was very good quality and tasty, coffee was great too. Definitely would recommend a visit.

Popped in for coffee, very impressed withe coffe,cake and staff so booked in for evening meal. Good call, busy but calm and efficient. Again great food, service excellent and friendly. Highly recommend

Four of us came for an evening meal. The restaurant decor was lovely. The staff were very pleasant and friendly. The food was vert tasty. A special mention for a young gentleman whose name was Marek. He managed to juggle serving multiple customers in a professional manner.

My mother is 94 and eats at Creates several days a week, sometimes alone, sometimes with friends. I join her when I visit. The kindness and thoughtfulness of the staff towards their regular oldies is incredible. Kenny and his team have created not only an amazing eatery but also a caring and vibrant community. I am so impressed!

My husband found Creates on a Gluten free app that suggests places that have GF options on their menus. We weren't disappointed. What a beautiful little restaurant. The staff were fantastic, especially our server Marik( apologies if spelt incorrectly). Service with a smile, attentiveness and politeness. It has a real European holiday evening vibe to the place. The menu has a variety of Gluten free choices including puddings. The food that we ordered was fresh, tasty and filling and reasonably priced. Anyone looking for a decent GF place to eat, or even if you don't need it to be GF, you definitely need to visit Creates in Monmouth.

This is a very popular unlicensed restaurant and quite rightly so judging by our experience. We discovered it after conversations with the locals who had nothing but praise for it. Finding it wasn't the easiest as it's almost hidden in a path between a very useful car park and the town centre. It is a very small restaurant and to fit you in they have got rather small tables which are quite close together. The room was a bit warm on our night which is never a good thing but we had a great meal here and the service was excellent. Something I have never seen before was a sign offering discount for cash so I suggest visiting the "hole in the wall" beforehand.

Not had the pleasure of actually dining in the restaurant but it does seem very warm and welcoming, the service is unbelievably good, staff are well mannered and gracious, now, the food, I haven't the words to describe how tasty and juicy it all is, incredible Indian cuisine at it's finest!

Very quiet on a Friday night but we were very warmly welcomed. Interesting little place, very intimate dining. Took some beers bought at the local one stop and indulged in a huge feast. I am something of a discerning curry fan, and was not in any way disappointed. ALL of the dishes were stunning especially the Tarka Dhal. I also order a side of Madras sauce and chopped coriander, which was happily provided. A wonderful place to eat in Monmouth. Thanks to the staff :)

Amazing Food, quick serving times, and kind staff. I Highly recommend!

Amusing tiny back street Indian. Nice staff. Nice food . Bring your own booze.

The food was AMAZING 🤩 very high quality, quick service, definitely recommend and will visit again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A truly outstanding experience. Friendly, personable service and really tasty food at very reasonable prices. We went for the set meal for 2 which was enough for the 4 of us. The garlic chicken, in particular was excellent. This place is ever so slightly off the beaten track but it’s well worth it. BYOB as well which only adds to it’s incredible value. No corkage charge either. Give it a try; you will not regret it. We will definitely return when we are next in Monmouth. Thank you Indian Summer!

Used king kebab for years but latly been very dissatisfied with the food but kept giving them the benifit of the doubt but finally decided not to use them anymore as a burnt burger and bun. And the chips was nearly stone cold so sadly won't be useing them again

Just had two 10" pizzas cheese chips garlic mayo and a chicken wrap for my son picked up order had a twenty minutes wait but we'll worth the wait fantastic taste a all cooked to perfection highly recommend

I absolutely love this place, time and time again there food is always a comfort and I will cherish the memory's I've made in here forever ❤️ (the food is so good)

Never had bad food from king kebab really is the best in monmouth. Mixed meat and chips with garlic sauce is my favourite 👌

Very nice meal tonight from KingKebab very prompt delivery had a 4 topping pizza and chips and it was absolutely A1 well done to all for the service we look forward to the next one !

Friendly staff Good tasty food!

The worse ever. Hour and a half wait and was cold.. This was a large.. Mint mayo burst inside bag...Half salad was missing.No tomato. No cucumber no onion. Never again

We stayed here for a week, it's a hidden gem you wouldn't know it was there . 2 minutes and your in town. Lovely clean tidy site and dog friendly, right on the river. The owners are very friendly.

Arrived on a Friday afternoon the nice lady came out and showed us our spot paid our money and the only other time we seen her was to show 2 motorhomes there places! There are around 20 static caravans on site and room for about 10 tourers. The touring area in not quite flat and only grass no hard standing, the electric is about 6 maybe 10 amp, the outside washing facility was very poor and clutter everywhere, the toilets are desperately in need a good cleaning and updating as the bin was full for the 3 days we was there and toilet roll in one toilet had not been refilled at all for the duration of time we was there. The showers took money £1 coins i think but we used our own toilets and showers as the site one was to a good standard for us, the pictures I have put on look better than it actually was, this site has so much potential of being a great place but I think that all they are concerned about is money money money with no interest in the up keeping and investment of the site which is a shame, the only good thing is it is a 5 minute walk into the town centre the price we paid at the time was £20 pr night

Really handy for the town, couldn't be much closer. Friendly owner. Quiet. Facilities desperately need a update, otherwise it's great.

Lovely little site very friendly owners a little tired shower and toilet block but clean. So very handy for town etc. Mostly adults. Our second visit but would visit again when in the area. We have just left there this is our 5th visit Great small park 👏 👌

Gets four stars for providing a shelter with seats for backpackers, owner, friendly and helpful, but although convenient for Monmouth, that meant high traffic noise, and the facilities are a bit run down

Great site with good amenities, close to the town with great pubs/restaurants. Chris , Mary and the family are very helpful, we call in a least twice a year for a few days.

Compact little site, very close to the town. Clean facilities and friendly owner. Very short walk over Monnow Bridge into Monmouth, plenty of shops, cafes and pubs.

Good vibe

Really nice architecture, dating from 1180 with norman chancel arch and an early font with an unusual bowl design, a nice water fountain to the side of it as well. ( Not running)

An old church, well maintained and with a very caring minister who took the funeral of a friend.

Cute wee church, lovely situation next to the Bridge and river.

Was in choir there when the vicar was rev Griffiths. My father les William's also done a lot for that church he was good friends with rev Griffiths and rev price happy days.

Came out sunday 18th may to lay flowers with my elderly mum of 74 after laying flowers on my mums husband ashes that is held at this church and mum wanted to use the toilet so front door of the church was open and back doors was open so we asked politely to the lady who was cleaning inside the church if mum could use the toilet and the lady said no sorry and told us there were puplic toilets over the way side..came from there very disappointed ..couldnt believe it....house of god and was turned away

Remarkable features in this red stone church.

Very nice experience, 10/10 recommend.

Looks OK from the outside and I am sure the locals love it. Ordered two pints of different cask ales, served in dirty glasses, took one back as it looked like soup and the other was undrinkable. The poor girl behind the bar tried but obviously had no training. Left the drinks behind. If you do wander in stick to the standard keg beers.

Friendly pub small inside but nice staff and a few different pints on offer

I had the Sunday Roast Carvery, in a to-go box, and was so happy y to find a great tasting dinner to take home and enjoy. There was a good choice of vegetables, three types of meat, roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese, good gravy, and Yorkshire pudding! I'll definitely be back there soon.

Me wife went there today for carvery well where did I start, good selection of meats, roast pots been reheated very pale, frozen yorkies can see why now days when I make black bags of them and freeze. Yes i am chef for over 40 years, veg was well cooked for much seasoning gravy was OK, best thing was the sliced potatoes in cream sauce. The apple crumble was OK very swwet

Popped in whilst passing through Monmouth to watch the Women's Euros Final... Found it on in this lovely pub, good choice of drinks and snacks and a welcoming atmosphere on a memorable night! Thank you!

Called in on a September weekday afternoon for a pint. Glad to see that there was a choice of 3 hand-pumped real ales, though I thought mine was just about 'on the turn'. Pub was quiet at the time.

We’re Just had one of the best carvery’s we’ve had in many years, good portion of meat and The vegetables are cooked to perfection with lovely crunchy roast potatoes and cauliflower cheese to die for

It's a lovely pub ....no food available apart from a lovely selection of bar snacks.....clean and tidy....Good range of alcohol (excellent news) ....all in all a lovely local.....

Nice pub, packed as it was boxing day but nice to see. Good selection of drinks. Friendly staff, would recommend.

Nice pub, but staff can be a bit miserable and slow... unless you are a local .

Really lovely pub, full of character, staff and customers were all very welcoming 🥰

Lovely pint of Guinness, lovely log fire and lovely bar staff.

Lovely pub ,dog friendly with nice beer garden

Great spot to watch the footie. Friendly staff!

Nice little Chinese / cafe. Decent chilli oil, nice noodles with a good bite to them. Good flavour, not too salty. Prices are reasonable. Fry ups look good too, a few other customers were eating them and must say they looked tasty.

What a superb delight and delicious meal. All food is prepared fresh and to your liking so you can make suggestions or wishes. I would personally say that the Chinese belongs to one of the best I have had in a while and the lady is friendly and welcoming. It's located in a little side street off the high street and offers seating inside as well as outside. If you are looking for a nice dinner or lunch or even breakfast then go here. You can get a full English as well as a nice Chinese menu with a good selection of tasty dishes.

Dropped into this place last night as a pit stop, whilst on my way further up into Wales ... And what a find ! Absolutely fantastic and authentic cooking ! Seemingly Sichuan influenced cuisine. Amazing price as well (incredible value). Lovely couple running the place. Food took a little time to prepare as it was all freshly cooked for me. Awesome, incredible, eating experience !!!

We went for breakfast around 09:00 so can't comment on the Chinese food in the evening. It was fairly empty, hence the atmosphere score, could be a lot better in the evening. The breakfast was large and great value for money. Obviously it wasn't top quality but the price reflects this. Will definitely be going back for breakfast. Friendly and attentive host.

IGNORE THE 1 STAR REVIEWS! We stopped here after a huge hike through the Wye Valley and it was the all you can eat banquet was the perfect recovery. The staff are super friendly, knowledgeable, accomodating, and attentive, as soon as we picked up the menu they were there to take our order for multiple courses. We have travelled through most of Asia and the food was super authentic with a few twists and has as much personality as it does amazing flavor. Could not recommend this place more highly. The vegetarian dumplings are anong the best I have ever had. Definitely freshly prepared and made to order. Could have happily eaten round after round of them but also super glad we tried lots of other lovely dishes too. The portions are HUGE and everything is so tasty you will want to try it all so order small and pace yourself. 🤣🤣🤣

My boyfriend and I sat in here on a Saturday night to try somewhere new in Monmouth. We had a lovely experience !! We had the all you can eat cuisine. The restaurant owners were really friendly and attentive. The food was so tasty and really big portions. It was my first vegetarian Chinese and my boyfriend eats meat and really enjoyed his food too. I loved my sweet and sour vegetables it had such amazing flavours. We will definitely be coming back for food here and we had a lovely experience. Thank you!

Went here in August this year with my family and we all had a great time experiencing new dishes we hadn't had before. The portions are massive so be careful not to order too much food, take it slow as you can always order more later on. The food was hot and fresh although it did take an hour to arrive because of a large take out order they had just before we arrived. Worth the wait though! Great place for large groups of people and the staff are very friendly although the decor could use with a bit of updating or sprucing up.

I ordered fish special and it was served beautifully, definitely would recommend it for seafood lovers! I loved the atmosphere as it was really relaxing and comforting. I felt very happy coming here and would dine here again! This place is wonderful for a night out with family and friends. The staff are extremely welcoming and helpful, they do a lot unlike most waiters in your typical restaurant. The people who work there really try hard and care for us customers. All my friends already booked to come here again and can’t get enough of variety of different curry’s, where each one are unique in its own way!

Disgusting. Horrific food. Abysmal service and Arrogance. Ordered a chutney tray but got no lime pickle. No large cobras. Starter was horrific 4 prawns and just bland yoghurt and sliced onion. No spice or taste to it at all for a spicy garlic chicken. I then asked for a chicken tikka balti light on the ghee and it arrived swimming in oil. Please see tge pictures. Inedible. My parter ordered the chicken tikka bombay sizzling which was most definately recooked chicken and was neither hot nor sizzling. We asked for some wedges of lemon only for two lemonades to arrive at the table. Complaining about the bill I was then met with utter contempt and arrogance from the manager. Completely and utterly appauling customer service and charged over 68 gbp and a complete refusal to remove the inedible ghee drowned balti from my bill. I am furious and disgusted with this place. Personally I will ensure none of my friends ever visit this appauling establishment. The arrogant and disgusting approach to customer service and complaint handing horrified me. There are much better indian restaurants in town. Some people aren't fit to run a restuarant and the manager is just that an appallingly rude character with a ego the size of a planet. I WILL NEVER BE NEAR THE JEWEL BALTI AGAIN. It's food is reheated and inedible and the staff are appauling. Updated following your response. Honesty is one quality I value far above ANY other. You are completely dishonest here. To recieve a statement that I arrived late when I hadn't booked shows you aren't telling the truth for one. Half drunk I don't think so. I had two small cobras and ordered a bottle of wine which we didn't even finish. I would think very hard about what you say here. I didn't book.. you lied. I wasn't half drunk yet another lie. I appreciate restaurants that work hard and serve decent food. I am a regular customer at the misbah I have been for decades and I also support the himalayan lounge. I gave you a chance on a mobday to see what you were like and i wont be back. Your food is awful. Your arrogance unbelievable and you also lie. You are decietful and on that basis unethical an amoral. You haven't commented on the chicken being reheated. I sincerely hope your lies deceit and dishonesty are seen by many. Appauling. Shame on you a shame on you and the chain you represent. Personally I think you alone will give your restaurant and your chain a bad reputation. I value many characteristics of which you Sir have zero...None. Good luck

I had dinner at the Jewel Balti last night with my family, and it was absolutely fantastic! The food was incredible, and the service was equally impressive. Thank you to all the staff for making our evening such a special one — we’ll definitely be back again soon!

The waiters are very friendly and polite, check in regularly to see if food is alright. The chicken korma is sweet and flavourful, for dessert the heaven in a jar was chocolate ice cream which deluxe dark chocolate sauce absolutely delicious

Wow! We ordered a set meal as a takeaway whilst staying nearby and it was amazing! On time, good portions and fantastic flavours and really pleasant service. We'd highly recommend this place.

Despite not booking, they managed to squeeze us in a table of 6 on a Saturday night. A huge menu with masses of choice, but nicely laid out and with little explainers on some of the lesser known dishes. The wait for food was decent and the food itself excellent. We had a large variety of dishes between us and everyone was happy with what they ordered. The only downside is that it took quite a long time to get the bill when we had clearly finished and we’re ready to leave. Otherwise the staff we attentive on drinks and extras and the atmosphere was nice. Despite being a big place there’s plenty of small nooks and half rooms to keep it cosy.

Food was delicious. Staff friendly and helpful (even with my request for no coriander 😊). Nice atmosphere. Had lovely evening. Would definitely visit again.
