The Monks retreat is actually a pub in an ancient village on the top of a hill. It is thought that the name of the pub comes from its local connections with the nearby Church built by St Peter and St Paul.

The ghost of the Monks retreat is a friendly one and watches over the people and the building itself. Reports of a monk have been sighted on many occasions alerting people to danger. A candle started to damage the table and there was a risk of a fire – the monk is reported to have tapped on the table to get someone’s attention to put out the candle.
