Guide to group bookings with Monastery Stays
Group bookings - key facts and discounts The following policy is the Group Terms and Conditions of booking, that must be read in conjunction with Customer Terms & Conditions that are accepted for all bookings submitted to Monastery Stays

The online listing of Rooms and Room Prices per Search (above) can not list all available rooms and group pricing - Monastery Stays knows and works with each guest house in accordance with their processes and availability to personally source and book your group requirements at the best terms available.
