Accomodations in Windsor
 

Looking for a charming accomodation in Windsor for my husband and two teenage daughters for our last night in England in March,Any suggestions?

A few years ago my wife, son and I spent our last night in England at the Oakley Court hotel in Windsor - a 19th century manor on the Thames - a short drive to Heathrow the next AM. We really enjoyed ourselves - ordered room service, lounged by the river, had a great breakfast before departing after a great two-week vacation. I'd do it again without hesitation. <BR>

Hi Carol -- <BR> <BR>No clue on the lodgings front, but check out the Two Brewers pub near the entrance to Windsor Great Park. <BR> <BR>It's a free house (not tied to any one brewery, so big beer & wine selection) & it does great food, compared to many other places in touristy Windsor. <BR> <BR>Have fun! <BR>xo <BR>T

Hi ! Forte Grand Castle Windsor, a four star hotel is just next to the castle and in the centre of town. Nice and cosy athmosphere.

I see these earlier postings on Windsor did not get much response. Does anyone else have recommendations on lodgings in Windsor within easy walking distance of the castle? I am attending a meeting there and the Castle Hotel is way too expensive--hoping for 100 Pounds or less.

Kay, <BR> <BR>There are a couple of small hotels and B&Bs in Eton, just a short walk across a pedestrian bridge from Windsor. Eton is a pleasant small town, site of the famous boy's school. One of the hotels is: <BR> <BR>Christopher Hotel <BR>110 High Street <BR>Eton <BR>SL4 6AN <BR> Phone 01753 852359 <BR>FAX: 01753 830914 <BR> <BR>Also, the Christopher Wren's House hotel is located on the river at Windsor...I've not stayed there (it is probably over £100) but it is a good place to have tea and watch the swans on the Thames: <BR> Sir Christopher Wren's House Hotel <BR>Thames Street <BR>WINDSOR <BR>SL4 1PX <BR> Phone 01753 861354 <BR>Fax 01753 860172 <BR> <BR>Enjoy your trip! <BR> <BR>David White <BR>www.KidsToLondon.com

We also enjoyed the Oakley Court. Much better choice than going back to London and then back out and much prettier than the properties at Heathrow.

have any of you taken a cab from Heathrow to Windsor (or vice versa) and if so what did it cost? I'm trying to find an alternative to a night at an airport hotel but we have luggage and cannot do public transport. Please, don't tell me "it was not much" - that is not much help, I'm looking for dollar/pound amounts if possible. Also are cabbies OK with taking you for a short haul like that? Thank you.

Martin, if you are willing to pay to find out. <BR>Burgundy Cars provide a private hire service from any location to London <BR>Heathrow Airport. <BR> <BR>For further details call 0800 013 1313 (+44 1344 621321 from outside the UK) or <BR>visit the desk located in Terminal One arrivals.
