Right on the River Thames in Windsor, this modern riverfront lodge is the perfect place to enjoy the Great British outdoors. Set across a single floor, this is lateral living at its finest. The open living space is bathed in natural light, and complete with smooth wooden floors and a sleek kitchen. Glass balcony doors extend the width of the house, and are fully retractable, meaning the kitchen and dining area flow seamlessly out onto the deck. 

On sunny days, enjoy meals alfresco, admiring the view of the marina as you eat. If you’d like to rent or bring a boat, mooring can be arranged for an additional fee with the Windsor Racecourse Marina. Whether by river or on foot, there’s plenty to do and see in the area. Book a tour of Windsor Castle, home to the Royal Family, to see the grand rooms and beautiful grounds, before stopping for lunch at one of the excellent restaurants in town. Or spend a day at the races – the famous Ascot Racecourse is a fifteen-minute drive away. 

Waterfront Blues

Sitting just outside the picturesque village of Yattendon, this traditional cottage invites you to a restorative retreat in the Berkshire countryside. 

With views across the surrounding hills, every detail of this home is immersed in the natural beauty of its surroundings. From the serene and tranquil bedrooms on the ground floor to the cosy living room and kitchen upstairs, it’s the perfect setting to relax and savour life’s simple pleasures. And with a range of personal touches, it’s the warmth and character of this home that makes you want to settle in and stay.

So whether you’re cooking with fresh local produce in the kitchen, lounging with a book on the sofa or simply gazing at the beautiful garden, you’ll feel transported to a wonderful sense of ease and relaxation. 

Outside, it’s just a short stroll to the village where you’ll find all the amenities you could need for your stay. The Casey Fields farm shop (only a short drive away) is a must-visit for local delicacies. And when you’re ready to put on your hiking boots, you’ll find lovely walking trails straight from the door – with some great pubs nearby for a refreshing drink or two.  

The Garden Cottage 

Switch off, unwind and re-connect with nature from this off-grid countryside retreat located in rural Thatcham, just a thirty-minute drive away from Reading

Whether you live in the city or not, unplugging from daily life, and most importantly, the world wide web, can be somewhat of a challenge for most. Yet from this peaceful paradise, it couldn't be easier. As with a lockable box provided by the host, you can stow your smartphones away and be free from distractions instantly. 

Offering total seclusion from the rest of the world, the cabin presents all the necessary home luxuries for a comfortable stay despite its compact space.

Cleverly designed, raw materials reflect the surrounding woodland and leafy views. Meanwhile, a log burner fire inside and an additional fire pit outside keep things warm and cosy, whatever the weather. 

Mornings spent here are a real treat – so we recommend leaving the black-out blinds open when you sleep. Wouldn't you rather wake up naturally as the sun rises with the birds? Listening to the sounds of the surrounding wildlife is a form of meditation in itself. 



Off-Grid 

Despite being tucked away on the outskirts of Burnham village, it’s worth noting that this historic home is situated by the side of an – albeit fairly quiet – road. Although both cosy and capacious – featuring five bedrooms as well as separate breakfast, dining and sitting rooms – we’ll bet it’s this home’s four-poster bedroom and en-suite marble bathroom you’ll be fighting over. Nevertheless, in our opinion, the walled garden is the real showstopper – perfect for watching the kids play while enjoying alfresco drinks in the sun. Under an hour from London, this home’s location makes it ideal for daytrips to Windsor, Legoland and the Thames Valley.

Secret Garden Games

One of the most famous architects of his age, James Wyatt designed a huge range of colleges, churches and country homes across the country, including this Grade-II listed manor house in the Buckinghamshire countryside.

The landscaped gardens and stately proportions are mementoes of the age in which it was built, but if you're hoping to be transported back to Georgian Britain, you might be a little disappointed by the interior design, which is way more contemporary – and perhaps a little too sparse in places – than the exterior would suggest. Still, we have kind words for the huge kitchen and the grand dining room with a chandelier hanging overhead.

That's not to forget the impressive outdoor space too, which features a private swimming pool surrounded by loungers that will really come into its own on warm summer days – or even not-so-warm ones if you're feeling hardy. An early-morning stroll across the lawns would be just as pleasant, too.

If you're in the mood for a long ramble, the expansive grounds of Stoke Park await close to the home, while Colne Valley Regional Park is a short drive away as well. The local village of Stoke Poges has a golf course and country club only three minutes away in the car, and the royal city of Windsor is less than twenty minutes away, too.

In Years Gone By

Situated within easy reach of Windsor Castle and the Long Walk, this cosy home is perfectly placed for exploring all that the historic town of Windsor has to offer. You’re just a fifteen-minute walk from the town centre here, perfect if need to stock up on dinner supplies or fancy a spot of window shopping with your favourite people. Plus, if you’re travelling with little ones, Legoland’s within easy reach, so why not treat them to an action-packed day out? After all, those rollercoasters aren’t going to ride themselves. 

When you’ve had your fill of being out and about, you’ll come back to a gorgeous home away from the hustle and bustle of the town centre, ideal for enjoying quiet nights in with your fellow guests. Curl up with a paperback in the book-lined living room, while away the evening with a parlour game or two at the dining table or sit back and savour a cup of tea by the fire. If relaxation’s what you’re looking for, this place has got you covered.

Flight of the Nightingale

Located just a short drive from the centre of Window and its famous castle, this two-storey suburban spot is a homely base for excursions. The bedrooms are on the plain side, but the large garden is great for kids – let them tire themselves out as you enjoy alfresco dining on the terrace. The large, folding French doors in the kitchen and dining area let in a breeze on warmer days. The biggest draw for us was that location – nearby, you'll find reservoirs, theme parks, and plenty of history.

The Windsor Crown

Placing you right in the heart of Warfield, this home provides a practical yet cosy space from which to explore the Berkshire countryside. There are forest walks and cycle trails within easy reach, while it’s just a five-minute drive to the shops and restaurants of the Lexicon – a great option for family entertainment. At full occupancy, one guest will be sleeping on a pull-out bed which might not be ideal for longer stays, but it has all the other essentials you could need for everyday comfort. We like the little garden – a great spot for summer evening drinks. 

Joy & Ease

This home in Slough caught our eye with its abundant space – we think it's a perfect fit for a large family gathering or friend reunion. The outdoor dining area is ideal for having a few drinks, while the kids will love the chance to tire themselves out in the large garden. The only drawback here is the lack of a dining table big enough for everyone, although you might see this as a chance to break off into more intimate groups. As for the location, you're only a ten-minute drive from the centre of Windsor.

Mind Your Manor

Smack bang in the heart of Reading, this apartment couldn’t be better placed for business travellers and holidaymakers alike. Shops, bars and restaurants are on your doorstep, and if you fancy a day trip into the capital, it’s a thirty-minute train ride to Paddington Station. What the place lacks in character, it makes up for in convenience – with everything you need to feel right at ease, from a well-equipped kitchen and two comfortable bedrooms ensuring a good night’s sleep.

These Dreams

Just a twelve-minute drive from Reading town centre, you’ll find this modern detached home. Local attractions include Charvil Meadows a one-minute stroll away, while Charvil Country Park is ten minutes on foot. Henley (which holds the Royal Regatta), Ascot Racecourse and Windsor are all under a thirty-minute drive, while Twyford Station is a four-minute ride and offers trains into London (around a thirty-five-minute journey). Back at this home, there’s a garden for alfresco drinks, and a lawn for the kids to play on. Whilst modern, this home may not be for you if you’re looking for character or a homely feel.

River of Life

Minutes away from central Windsor, this riverside apartment is in the perfect spot to discover the many shopping and restaurant areas on your doorstep. Although it isn’t the biggest apartment, and it being on the second floor may be difficult for those with limited mobility to access, multiple openings to the breezy balcony opens up the space when socialising with family or friends. Looking for a royally historic day out? This home is within a ten-minute walk to Windsor Castle and the Royal Borough Museum.
