If you walk from Dirty Duck restaurant or similar area, its fine to walk back, BUT, you walk along the roadside on opposite side of the road to TS. The footpath area from TS to start of Monkey Forest Road is really terrible so must be avoided after sunset!
As the others say, the staff at TS are most obliging in driving you too or from any local restaurants, then when ready you call them to come and take you back.
Nothing is ever to much trouble for the staff!
We stayed at Ubud Village Hotel last trip and loved the location on Monkey Forest Road, so close to lots of restaurant choices, market, shops etc, BUT Tegal Sari is sensational for standard of rooms, size, fittings, fixtures and the outlook is very peaceful. It needs to be experienced to be believed!
