I just realized I didn't actually answer your question. When I stayed at the monastery I was able to email them and book a room. I see why you are asking and are a little concerned. One option would be to see if there is a taxi option that will...
This is so personal. The Inglés was for me an afterthought, an add on after Gijón - Muxía (Norte) and the Portuguese Coastal route. I had a few extra days so I took the train up to Ferrol from Santiago.
