Technically, an abbey is a canonically erected and independent monastery with a required minimum of religious, either monks or nuns. The abbey would include a novitiate, guest house, choir, conference room, infirmary, kitchen, refectory, cells, dormitory, oratory, almonry, cellars, calefactory, locutory (or parlor) and a chapter house.
A monastery refers to any place with religious men or women live in seclusion and lived a cloistered, contemplative life, and recite the Divine Office. Thus every abbey would be a monastery, but only some monastery would be abbeys.
