…ens theatre which always has some show or artist performing. Ramsgate Kent England Ramsgate Kent England Ramsgate has a very large and attractive harbour which is packed full of yachts and boats – and suspect in Summer this is a buzzing and exciting area. There are a number of bars, restaurants and coffee shops overlooking the pretty harbour which even in winter are busy. The town centre is less attractive, both in layout and in types of shops. Th…

I love coming back to it….
Monkey Island Hotel, Bray, England. Review and Video. Good for weddings. Not for staying? Monkey Island Hotel in Bray is on a small island on the Thames. You have to cross a footbridge to get there. The grounds are stunning. It is a popular venue for weddings as a result. My mother always told me that “if you cannot say anything nice, then do not say anything at all”. So I probably should end the review here! I had heard about the Monkey Island H…

We really loved the place, the welcome and the service. The property has over the last years been renovated and restored, w…
