Before choosing where to stay

Where to Base

Stay near the castle or along the River Thames. These areas offer walkable access to major sights and numerous boutique hotels, allowing guests to enjoy views of the castle and a serene royal atmosphere at dawn or dusk.

Getting Around

Windsor lacks a major airport; the nearest hub is London Heathrow. It takes about 30-45 minutes by taxi or bus. The town center is compact, making walking or short taxi rides sufficient for exploring, simplifying transport logistics for hotel guests.

Best Season

Spring to autumn offers pleasant weather for outdoor strolls. Summer sees higher tourist volumes, so early booking is advised. Winter, while cold, offers unique castle lighting and a festive atmosphere, appealing to travelers seeking quiet and romance.

The Loch & The Tyne

RestaurantBib Gourmand££2.9 km

Adam Handling’s country inn is named in honour of where he met his co-owner chefs: Scotland and Newcastle. The room has a characterful vintage style, and the terrace sits beside raised beds which supply herbs and vegetables for the attractively presented dishes. Among them are re-worked pub classics like the playful haggis Scotch egg or the mac and cheese 'our way'. For dessert, look out for the ever-present trifle, which changes with the seasons. Complete your visit with a stay in one of the luxuriously appointed bedrooms.

The Greene Oak

Restaurant££3.2 km

The Greene Oak’s modern bar has a pleasingly laid-back feel and the quirky horsebox tables on the terrace add something a little different. Menus use the best of the British larder and offer an appealing mix of dishes. The 45-day aged rare breed steaks are a speciality and the weekday lunch menu is a steal.
