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

Lovely hotel in a unique, peaceful location. Well placed for visits to one of the restaurants in Bray, although still a little far to walk. The rooms in the hotel are nice, but very small. The showers really good and the soft drinks in the mini bar are free which was a nice touch.

Appreciated the upgrade to room on the island, but a/c would not cool the room. All the indicators on the thermostat were right but couldn't get below 23 degrees. Nice to walk around half the island but hotel buildings block off the other end. Staff friendly and location great for visiting Bray.

I booked this place because it was 20 mins from LHR and was close to Heston’s Bray if I fancied a culinary hit. I booked the room that was available on Expedia, a Barn room, but upon arrival was ‘upgraded’ to the main accommodation block. It’s worth remembering that the Barn is on the main car park, so worth consideration as to whether a booking suits your needs. Main block accommodation, for those who can’t nab, or afford the Wedgwood suite, is tight for space, my room measuring a cosy 12m3 while housing a desk, bed and shower room; even solo, I felt cramped. I didn’t eat at the onsite restaurant or drink at the Monkey Bar, but the building housing them looked pleasant and the island itself, even in a wintry setting, is a draw card. Parking is easy and the smooth trundle for wheelie bags is about 200m to your room; that was even an easy hike for my rucksack! Overall, lovely setting, small rooms and really fast to the airport…and probably enough character to keep you out of Heathrow’s Hotel Row.
