Beautiful little hotel in the cute little town of Bray. It was a delight, though dining at hotel was limited. I don't know why someone would choose to stay at an airport hotel when there is a wonderful place like this just a short drive away. Very convenient to Heathrow. Very romantic hotel. On an actual island, it was very nice in fall but I imagine it would be spectacular in summer. Only downside is no pool. Total delight!

We had a lovely weekend stay for my partner’s birthday. The views from the room were beautiful and it was really nice to have a private balcony overlooking the river. It was only a couple of minutes drive to Bray Village, which was perfect, as we were having dinner at one of the restaurants. The breakfast the following day was delicious too, and the complimentary drinks were a nice touch. Thank you

6/10 Okay

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Staff were welcoming, very friendly and efficient. The hotel was rather dated and looked tired, especially the rooms, although they were clean. The use of a guest lounge with tea, coffee and water was a bonus, although provisions hadn’t been topped up, nor the area tidied when we used it in the evening. More Choice of games would have been nice, too. Given the spectacular and unique location, the grounds appeared very neglected, apart from around the restaurant area. Very expensive for what it was.

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!

A wonderful stay, would 100% go back

A short 1 night trip away the beautiful grounds of this hotel took our breathe away, we really felt we were in the middle of the countryside and the lovely river flowing around only added to this. Our room in the main section was a little small BUT modern, all recently refurbed with underfloor bathroom heating and a lovely comfortable bed and absolutely perfect for our short trip - any more than 3 nights and you'd probably run out of space. The staff were all so friendly and helpful, exceeded my expectations - would definitely visit again when in the area.
