From humble beginnings as a medieval monastery- this private island on the river Thames became an aristocratic retreat - reinvented today as a boutique hotel. The rooms- suites and guest cottages evoke the individual style of the eighteenth century villa- while remaining comfortable and contemporary. This theme continues within the main buildings- where a Grade 1-listed room featuring quirky frescoes from the 1730s has been transformed into a snug lounge and whisky bar. Monkey Island Estate is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property. A discretionary Service Charge of 5% of room rate will be applied to all reservations.

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.

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 *******, 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.

Barn is misleading advertising- it’s in a car park. Rip off for 315GBP per night.
