    Negative Reviews

    negative:

    Outdated furnishings.

    Part of the charm of Monsal Head is its reliance on history and old-world fashion, including the masonry on some of its buildings, but certain aspects have been worn down by age and require some attention. Some of the wood is mouldy, and things such as linens and paint should be replaced.

    negative:

    Limited ale selection.

    If you're looking to load up on a number of different ales in the lounge and bar area, you'll be disappointed: Monsal Head has a very limited range of drinks, and while the products are all good quality, you won't have as much variety as you might expect.

    negative:

    Distance from attractions.

    While the rural charm of the area and its beautiful views are fantastic, you'll certainly need a car or access to the nearby rail station to see more of the major sites in the region.
