Monkton House was built by the monks of Newbattle Abbey to protect themselves from English invaders and stands in 2 acres of private grounds. Three of the sumptuous bedrooms have four poster beds, and there are many unusual features. There are gun loops and arrow slits, one of the living rooms is inspired by the Prince Regent's Brighton Pavilion and hand painted in maximalist chinoiserie, and there is even a secret room. You can imagine yourself in another time when staying here.
