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

Absolutely charming hotel. Lovely feeling to be sleeping on a small island.
We went on a lovely walk around Bray and the Thames. Food at breakfast and dinner was fabulous.

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.

Will stay again
Good stay, a good room, great staff, food was good too. It is a stunning location and a super building. Will stay again.
I rented an electric car and it would have been great to have a charging point at the hotel, but maybe in the future.

Amazing property, beautiful estate, rooms are beautiful, clean and so comfortable. One of the best breakfasts I’ve seen and service is just flawless.
We had a minor issue with room billing and team did their best to solve it and make sure we leave on a good note.
