We arrived and was greeted by Mohammed who carries our bags and took us over the footbridge to reception. He then also took the bags to our room; he was very efficient. The last at reception was ok; she seemed to struggle doing two things at once, which meant that it took a little while to check in as there... More

We went here for dinner last night with friends. We had booked an outdoor table but it was too chilly to sit outside. They set up a table in a beautiful side room where we dined alone. It was a perfect evening from start to finish. All the staff were brilliant, especially our waiter Andrew. The food was exquisite and... More

We had a great stay, on a Groupon Deals which was great value for money. Our room over looked the grounds at the front which were stunning. We had an evening meal and breakfast included. The meal was a slight let down as the main meal in the evening was a little cold (I had the burger and the cheese... More

A very pleasant stay in a peaceful and unique hotel just a short trip down the M4 from London. We would definately go back. Got this on a Living Social offer so doubly worth the money. In the middle of the Thames access over a footbridge. Very romantic location and a bit quirky with a variety of styles in communal... More

After reading a lot of negative reviews of this hotel I wasn't expecting much but was very pleasantly surprised. The hotel is located on an Island on the Thames about 1/2 a mile outside the centre of Bray. It is very convenient if you are visiting any of the pubs or restaurants in the village. You access the Hotel by... More

Thank you for your kind comments and words concerning Monkey Island Hotel. We are a very unique venue with a wonderful setting, particularly at this time of year. We also certainly want to begin investing a little in the general 'fabric' of the building as I appreciate some areas are looking a little tired, and we have an ongoing programme... More

After reading, on Trip Advisor, about the "Awful Afternoon Tea" at Monkey Island, I was in two minds as to whether to take my mother there for a treat on her 92nd birthday. However, I'm pleased to report that the sandwiches were fresh, as were the scones. As ever, though, the devil was in the detail. We had a booking... More

An overnight stay with dinner is a real treat. Met on the path by the doorman who insisted on taking our luggage, all staff were really helpful and nice. Comfy room with access to a terrace and seating area overlooking the river. The island is beautiful, pity that unseasonal cold, wet weather prevented exploration. The restaurant menu undersells itself at... More

My 5 friends and I stayed here recently on our touring around the countryside. The setting is quite beautiful--across a footbridge and up a path to the main sleeping facility. The separate pavilion houses the eating space. My bedroom was adequate, although the bed suffered from being extremely soft (the springs seemed loose). Room 15 where I stayed had an... More
