An expensive rental but well worth the money. The mattresses were very comfortable in all the bedrooms and it was extremely well equipped. There were lots of personal touches throughout the property which were appreciated.The views were spectacular from almost every room. Would definitely recommend.

We had the most amazing week at Monument House, it’s absolutely stunning with views to die for! My only minor criticisms would be Mattress protectors and pillow protectors on all beds. Especially as these were high end mattresses.
