Beautiful location but room and bathroom looked dated and in need of renovation. Our room was spacious but the space was wasted as no comfortable chairs were provided and only a very small desk. Breakfast was ok but set in a very large and half empty room. The whole experience was very bland.
Beautiful & charming hotel! I was staying on business had been working in central london all day and to arrive at Monkey Island was exactly what i needed after a hard day! Its a true hidden gem. Will definatley stay again. The peacocks were especially charming part to this hotel.
The hotel was absolutely lovely and I don't have any complaints apart from they could have openned the windows hours before I arrived. It was a hot day and my room was stuffy which didn't really improve after I arrived and I didn't sleep well because of it. Small things change perceptions, I would have given this hotel all 5's as everything else was perfect.
To be honest whilst the setting is beautiful the room that i have was old and tired. I had a garden room which looked out onto the laundry bins. When you opened drawers and cupboards the handles fell off. I ordered room service which was ok but I was taken back by the bottle of squeezy ketchup and squeezy mustard that came with my steak - not quite what I had expected. Personally although it wad clean and the staff ok I wouldn't stay again. The room felt small (claustrophic even), dated and I couldn't wait to check out in the morning as a result. They did have wifi but the TV wouold only pick up 2 channels. On the plus side the bed was very comfy. Also you have to cross a foot bridge to get to the hotel - if this was wet it wouldn't be ideal for the infirm but very exciting for kids!

fab location
service was very impressive, the setting for the hotel was idyllic with peacocks wandering in the grounds and drinking pimms while watching the boats sail up the thames.
I booked this hotel as a surprise getaway for my partner. The hotel is in a lovely location and set in attractive grounds. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful and the room was clean and comfortable with a good view of the river and grounds (including rabbits). The hotel is on an island across the river from the car park (connected by a footbridge) and is about 25 minutes walk from Bray village.
