  • Good morning, I see WiFi is available in all public areas. I assume that does include the rooms. Many thanks, Kind regards, Anne

    Hello yes some rooms are better than others though as the walls are cobb in many parts of the building and this does weaken the signal considerably even with boosters strategically placed

Annette and Andy Witheridge welcome you to The Salty Monk Bed and Breakfast sympathetically restored to provide a luxury, relaxing and rejuvenating experience. The Salty Monk is the perfect B&B in sidmouth to use as a base for exploring East Devon or as an escape for a romantic break, walking or cycling holiday. Originally a Salt House used by the Benedictine Monks who traded Salt at Exeter Cathedral, situated in the Sid Valley just one mile from Sidmouth town centre and close to Lyme Regis, Honiton and Cathedral City of Exeter. There are many fantastic walks in the immediate area with the Jurassic coastal path and the famous Donkey Sanctuary just up the hill from us.

The area is packed with diverse attractions, fantastic walking, 8 local golf courses, Exeter Cathedral City nearby and the famous Donkey Sanctuary just 1 mile away. We are 2 miles from Sidmouth seafront, no mists or Seagulls! easy access to the stunning Jurassic coast path. Dartmoor is an easy drive just 30 mins away and there are beautiful National Trust Properties, Powderham Castle, Gardens, and seaside villages all within a few miles, its more a case of how much you can fit into your time here, not what you can do!!
