I was a guest at a friends wedding. What a beautiful setting this is. When you get the weather which we did it can't be more perfect! the ceremony was outside and as soon as it had finished the waiters came straight out with trays of bubbly and beer - brilliant and what timing ! We then waited whilst the... 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

This hotel has a lovely location on the Thames and its setting is unbeatable. We had a good breakfast although the staff were strangely confused about the egg order. It was cold the night before but there was no heating on in the rooms and the fire in the library room was not lit. These small touches would have made... More

We stayed here for one night on 7 May in what was claimed to be a Superior room. The room and the bed were absolutely tiny and the two pillows for two people were nasty, cheap foam which made sleep very difficult. Staff were indifferent, not rude, but not at all helpful. A great shame as it is a glorious... More

Six of us stayed here on the 29th April, on a special offer deal which included dinner. The setting and surroundings are beautiful and the location ideal for visiting Windsor. We took our bicycles and the staff readily agreed to look after them for us. In fact we found all the staff very attentive and friendly and they made our... More

Monkey Island Hotel in Bray is on a small island on the Thames. You have to cross a footbridge to get there. The grounds are stunning. It is a popular venue for weddings as a result. My mother always told me that “if you cannot say anything nice, then do not say anything at all”. So I probably should end... More

Stayed here on a Living Social deal of £99 for db&b including glass of bubbly. Room was spotless and looked newly decorated. Other parts of the hotel did look a little tired with the stair carpet in particular needing replacing. We were in room 15 which is the first one on the landing so some noise from other guests going... More

I stayed here overnight with 2 colleagues. When I arrived and saw the hotel on island I knew I was in for a treat. You park your car, walk over the bridge and are met with Peacocks, yes real live peacocks, they were beautiful. Checking in staff were pleasant. The room was adequate and large flat screen tv.

Well the dinner was fab, beautifully prepared and presented, and the breakfast huge and delicious. But we think what really made... More

On a colleague's recommendation I stayed at this hotel verses staying at one of the Heathrow based hotels. I was very pleasantly surprised. Mid week the hotel was very quiet, in fact I think there were only 3 or 4 guests there. Finding it is a bit tricky and you definitely think you are heading the wrong way out of... More
