Magical place to escape from the busy city
Pros:

Incredibly private and historic venue with beautiful grounds and onsite bar & restaurant.
The staff was so helpful, kind and friendly. They accommodated various requests we made during our stay.
We also did the self-drive boat experience which was lovely.
If you are looking for a special stay book the Wedgewood suite, you won’t regret it.

A luxurious and beautiful stay, spoiled only by an uncomfortable bed.
Pros:

We loved almost everything about our one-night stay. Monkey Island Estate feels truly luxe, from the setting on the Thames to the stylish interiors and overall atmosphere. The property is beautiful, polished and special, and it made for a memorable short stay.

Cons:

The bed was the one disappointment. It felt wonky and uncomfortable, with a saggy mattress, and we did not sleep very well.

Great place for a chilled stay with friends or your partner, great location for Bray
Pros:

Location is great, plus its just a perfect spot, surrounded by the river, so quiet, lovely grounds, the bar is great, drinks and cocktails were really good - lovely place to chill with your friends and partner

Cons:

The breakfast. Last time we stayed it was table service and honestly one of the best breakfasts i've had. This time the rather functional receptionist told me we didnt have breakfast included and we'd have to pay £40 each, even though we did have it included and so i had to re-prove that to them. Breakfast now is a buffet service, no doubt having to manage rising costs / staffing challenges, but it was very disappointing, at least it was included i'd be fuming if i'd paid £80 for it! Staff were great, just a poor product.

Beautiful location but not the 5* experience i was expecting.
Pros:

Beautiful location.

Cons:

Was disappointed with the level of service. Young inexperienced staff mainly employed. Tried getting info on how to get to into Windsor without driving and no one offered any helpful info. Ended up getting reception to order a taxi which was ridiculousy overpriced and the driver was running his business from the car. Breakfast was disappointing as didnt realise this would be buffet style. Having to stand around waiting for toast you put in the toaster yourself is not a 5 star hotel experience to me. Same evening menu every night and we were not told of the supplements to certain dishes as we were given the wrong menu! Paid for a Temple balcony room. Got the ground floor room and the terrace was covered in goose poo (as there are lots roaming the grounds, which wasnt an issue) A previous guests pile of olive stones left on the terrace not cleaned up. Overall wasnt the 5 star experience i was expecting.
