Lovely location despite the rain . Staff lovely and room very clean with nice views . Loved the underfloor heating in the bathroom .Difficult to control the heating in the bedroom however .Nice bar area and great breakfast . Had dinner in the restaurant . Staff there were very attentive and food fine. I would say the dinner was nothing particularly special.

This is such a stunning property! Even though you’re a quick drive from Heathrow, you feel a world away. The birds chirping, the river flowing, the beauty around the property and Bray is all incredible. I went for many long walks as a solo female traveler, including after dark once on accident, and felt incredibly safe. Can’t wait to come back!

We recently stayed at Sundial Cottage at Monkey Island Estate, and it was absolutely fantastic. The cottage itself is a beautiful three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath retreat with a spacious garden — truly perfect for a peaceful getaway. From the moment we arrived at the hotel, the staff were incredible. Their warmth, professionalism, and genuine kindness reminded us of how hotels used to be 25 years ago. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and every interaction was pleasant, making our stay feel truly special. A delightful bonus was discovering that the cottage was originally owned by Sylvia Anderson, co-creator of Thunderbirds. That show was a favourite of mine as a child, so staying there added an unexpected and wonderful bit of nostalgia. The hotel’s restaurant and bar were lovely, offering a relaxing atmosphere and great service, and the surrounding grounds were beautiful — ideal for unwinding or exploring. We stayed for six nights while visiting family and had a wonderful time from start to finish. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended!

Romantic but road noise.

Lovely hotel. Shame about the noise of the motorway next to it. For the price you would expect it to be quiter. Noise ok if you had a party there. Lovely location for a wedding.

We asked for a baby crib and the hotel kindly set one up. However it was not steady from one side and the mattress only fit 3/4th of it. I wasn’t expecting this at the price point we paid. It was replaced with a cot that was steady and the mattress fit that after we called
