Part of the historic Estate of Dorney Court, this timber-framed house dates back to the sixteenth century and is a magical blend of heritage and modernity.

The former great hall is emblematic of this. The thirty-foot-high ceilings remain, as do the wooden beams in the vaults, but there have been a few recent additions, from the glitzy chandelier and bovine-themed artwork to the huge kitchen complete with a range cooker. Elsewhere, you'll find two wood burners and an open fire, so guests will never be anything other than toasty. Plus, there's a range of vintage beds in the sleeping quarters, which bring a dash of aristocratic glamour to your slumber.

Surrounding the property are some large grounds with stables and English village life awaits just beyond the boundaries, with Dorney Common and the home of the London 2012 Olympics rowing events, Dorney Lake, only eight minutes' walk away. If you want to work up a hunger beforehand, there are some pretty walking routes running alongside the River Thames, which can be reached in about twenty minutes from the home, plus a pub and bakery taking barely two minutes' walk.

Step outside and you’re just two minutes from Windsor’s shops, restaurants, and riverside walks, with the Castle a short stroll away. A stylish spot for enjoying this historic town at your own pace.

Built back in 1861, this home was originally a vicarage to an adjacent church, which was demolished in the 1960s — there's a still small cemetery at the front of the property. Things have certainly moved on since the middle of the nineteenth century and the interior is a triumph of modern design. The two living rooms mix period features, such as the Victorian fireplace and crystal chandeliers, with contemporary flourishes, like the tufted furnishings, bold print wallpaper and the shaggy rugs. The kitchen is both huge and super-slick, and leads through to the conservatory, which is now home to a gym. Upstairs, the bedrooms are equally large and are full of quirky additions, from a red ball gown to an electric guitar. Somehow, the home's outside space manages to compete with what lies behind the front door. The first thing guests will be greeted with is a pretty alfresco dining spot sat underneath a pergola, but there's also ten acres of private woodland that is home to a children's play area and a zip wire. As if that wasn't enough space, there's also access to Windsor Forest, part of the Crown Estate. The town of Windsor itself is only a quarter of an hour away in the car, while Ascot Racecourse only takes ten.

The Belgian Ambassador

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.

If Windsor Castle is on your sightseeing list, then you've come to the right place. You'll be staying less than a ten-minute walk away, and near to the train station that can take you up to London in forty minutes. But this home is much more than just your average sightseeing base — spread across four floors with two living rooms and an abundance of space (including parking for up to three cars), this British beauty has plenty to offer. There are lots of soft textures and wooden surfaces that add a homely touch to the bedrooms, making you feel right at home. We also loved the sliding doors that lead out to the outdoor space, where you can relax in the fresh air with a cool G&T as the sun goes down. And, as you'll be staying right on Eton High Street, you can always choose between getting creative in the well-equipped kitchen or stepping out to explore the local restaurants and pubs.

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.

Nestled between two islands on the picturesque banks of the River Thames – this beautiful thatched Edwardian home built in 1903, under a fifteen-minute drive from Windsor, is the perfect riverside retreat. Watch the boats, ducks and swans on the river go by from your own private heated pool. Lawns stretch down to the water – perfect for a game of croquet or challenge someone to a game of table tennis. There’s also a multipurpose play area for any younger children.

Inside, you'll see more of those divine riverside vistas. There are two living rooms and plenty of space for entertaining your family or friends. We love the master bedroom’s balcony, but a real highlight of this home for us was the bedroom attached to the side of the house on stilts. It’s constructed out of 19th century beams from one of the last pioneering ships bound for Australia and contains beautiful carvings and unique features from this period.

When you want to explore, your hosts can help arrange River Thames boat trips to pick you and your guests up directly from the garden. There’s also a lovely pub in the nearby village of Wraysbury, a ten-minute walk away. As well as close proximity to Windsor and Eton, Ascot racecourse is just over twenty minutes in the car and Thorpe Park, a fifteen-minute ride, while Henley, which hosts the Royal Regatta is forty minutes. If you visit London, Slough train station (a fifteen-minute drive away) runs services to London Paddington, the fastest being fourteen minutes.

Parking On Premises

This home is a great option for groups looking for a centrally-located stay in Windsor. By day, you can enjoy all that the city has to offer on foot – Windsor Castle is a short walk away and you’ll find the river is within easy reach. Guests looking to explore further afield will also appreciate the private parking on the drive. Inside, the rooms are unfussy, bright and spacious, and the garden is a welcome addition for warm-weather gatherings. 

Gather & See

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

Footsteps from the shops, restaurants and cafes that line Eton High Street and a ten-minute walk from Windsor Castle, this cottage suits families, friends and couples alike. Inside, the design blends character with contemporary style, and it's packed with everything you'll need for a comfortable stay. At capacity, two guests will be on the sofa in the living area, though – something to bear in mind if you’re planning an extended stay or want plenty of space for socialising. That said, there is a private patio with a seating area, so you can enjoy refreshments alfresco when the sun shines.

Eton Oasis

This home located just outside of Maidenhead is certainly one of the more pared-back properties in our collection, but it's so well-executed that we felt compelled to include it.

The ivory walls, shiny wooden floors and large windows combine together to make the interior feel bright and inviting. while there's plenty of sleek black surface space in the horseshoe-shaped kitchen to whip up family-sized feasts. Out through the French doors, there's a garden that runs around three sides of the house that could very easily be the site of summer lawn games.

The centre of Maidenhead sits about seven minutes' drive away when you fancy a meal out or a trip to the theatre. In the other direction, walking routes in the Chiltern Hills AONB can be reached in a similar amount of time.

Ebony & Ivory

Bathed in natural light, decked out with comfortable furniture and blessed with a spacious open-plan layout, this flat in the centre of Maidenhead is perfect for anyone looking to explore the best of Berkshire.

A favourite among the Edwardian upper classes who didn't have the time or inclination to travel as far as Bath, Maidenhead is on the up and up. The soon-to-open Elizabeth line will also make getting into London a breeze, with a forty-minute train ride landing you at Tottenham Court Road.

Meanwhile, a visit to the nearby village of Bray is renowned for its Michelin-starred restaurants. In addition to Heston Blumenthal's Fat Duck and The Hind's Head, there's also Alain Roux's The Waterside Inn – you can't go wrong with any of them.

Sitting on a quiet residential street in central Windsor, this beautiful upper maisonette offers a warm and welcoming base for those looking to experience the town’s rich and royal history, as well as the delights of nearby Eton, Ascot and Legoland. 

Laid out over three floors, you’ll find plenty of space to socialise as well as opportunities to steal yourself await for some relaxing privacy. We love the woodland palette of the living area with its jewel-toned accents – the ideal spot to kick back, whether on the plump sofa with a glass of wine or around the farmhouse-style dining table for a celebratory home-cooked meal. Upstairs, the three bedrooms each boast their own singular decor, from the claret and blue Britannia-themed one to the nature-inspired single bedroom and the stunning main bedroom with its large slanted window. Factor in the bathroom’s luxurious rainfall shower and you’ve got everything you need for a perfectly blissful stay. 

Outside of your home, you’ll find a couple of cosy pubs at the end of your road, as well as a supermarket a two-minute walk away. When you’re ready to soak up some history and culture, Windsor Castle, Windsor’s High Street and Alexandra Park are a five-to-ten-minute walk away, and Eton is a mere fifteen minutes away on foot. Elsewhere, Legoland is a ten-minute drive and Ascot is twenty minutes away by car.

This cosy home is the perfect rest point for a romantic getaway to the riverside town of Marlow. Snuggle up together on the sofa to watch a movie on the TV as the smell of a delicious homecooked meal wafts throughout the house. Enjoy your tasty plate of food at the dining table with a documentary on the screen as you socialise with your loved one, planning a fun itinerary of what you'll be up to in the town. If you're fancying a relaxing day in, get under the duvet to read a new book you picked up recently as you sip on a toasty cup of coffee. If weather permits, head out to the bench outdoors to dine alfresco with a hearty meal, washed down with a sumptuous glass of red – or sparkling bubbly.

Wander the streets of Marlow to see what you can find – there's a gorgeous Vietnamese restaurant nearby as well as a great selection of rustic pubs to unwind in as you enjoy a pint or two. A short drive takes you to the verdant Higginson Park where you get a fantastic view of the river and is a lovely spot for a picnic. 

River Rest

A fifteen-minute stroll from the shop-lined High Street, you'll find Windsor Castle beyond – a must-see fortress for royal family fans. Fancy afternoon tea at a nearby racecourse? Or, how about exploring the Tudor grounds of Eton College? With free parking, this upstairs apartment promises easy access to all of that and more. Books and games are waiting in the colourful living room, and there's a handy workspace in the bedroom too. While six guests are welcome, you'll have to draw straws for seats at the dining table.

Pink Slice

Record Player

This Windsor homestay might only be fifteen minutes from the nearest train station, but convenience is far from the only thing this luxury property has to offer. Large windows flood the interior with natural light, highlighting soft textures and thoughtful accents that make you feel at home the second you step over the threshold. Go through to the gleaming open-plan kitchen, where you’ll find a gorgeous dining area and enough silverware to host even the most extravagant dinner party, or head straight upstairs and treat yourself to a glass of wine and a long soak in the freestanding bathtub. Whatever you do, don’t miss out on the opportunity to soak up some rare British sunshine out on the patio, where you’ll find a gorgeous rattan furniture arrangement, perfect for socialising with your fellow guests or – if you fancy some peace and quiet –⁠ unwinding on your own with a cup of coffee and a good book.  

When you’re ready to head out, stick to the cobbled streets of Windsor or make your way to London – just fifty minutes away by train – for a spot of sightseeing. For those who’d rather stay put, you’ll have a whole host of attractions at your fingertips, from Windsor Castle – which is just fifteen minutes away by foot – to Legoland, a fun day out for the whole family.

Set within 40 acres of gardens, paddocks and woodland just west of Windsor, this home is a true escape from it all. Blending contemporary interiors into a traditional English setting, there’s so much to love here. As for location – you couldn’t want more. You’ll spy Windsor Castle on the horizon, and both Ascot and Windsor are fifteen minutes away. Central London? Reachable in just thirty minutes. With stables and an indoor arena on-site, it’s also handy to know that this is set within a prime polo location. And if you'd rather have a relaxing day at home, with a pool, tennis court, gym, library, home cinema, and country walks from the doorstep, there’s so much entertainment, you may never want to leave. 

The Great British Retreat

This stylish loft offers a serene retreat in the heart of Henley-on-Thames. Step inside and you’ll find a welcoming living room, a cosy bedroom and all the essentials you could need to settle in. It’s the ideal base for a romantic getaway or a productive work trip and there’s a handy sofa bed in the living room for one guest. Private parking is available for one car and it’s possible to walk to the train station in just fifteen-minutes. Plus, you can walk to the nearest pub, restaurants and shops 


The Chapel Light

This family home caught our eye not just because it's well-located for exploring nearby Windsor – we also like that it's got more than enough space for everyone in your group. The annex is ideal if you've got teens who might want time to themselves, while younger kids will love the bunk beds in the main house. And for the adults, you'll find two village pubs perfect for those lazy Sundays just a short walk away. Further afield, you've got Legoland, Ascot, Windsor and more.

A King's Retreat

Whether it's a private gym for morning workouts or a study for digital nomads, this Windsor home has plenty to boast about. Patio doors open straight onto the garden – perfect for evening aperitifs and summer barbecues. There's more than enough space in the lounge for everyone to get together, though if you need a bit of quiet time, each bedroom is as comfortable as the next. One is in a separate studio for extra privacy. As for the location, Windsor and all its royal offerings are just a short drive away.

A Windsor Welcome

Trash Compactor

This elegant 19th-century home is nestled within the grounds of the former Old Windsor Tapestries factories. It's surrounded by well-maintained communal gardens, but you'll have your own private terrace, too. The main staircase is rather narrow and a little steep, so guests with limited mobility might be better off looking elsewhere. But pets are welcome, and the nearby River Thames offers plenty of walking trails. There are several local restaurants within easy walking distance, and it's only a short drive from Heathrow Airport and Windsor Castle.

The Whistler

This cosy guest house is in the heart of Winkfield. It’s a great base for discovering all there is to see and do nearby, including visiting Windsor and Eton, enjoying days out at Ascot, and treating the kids to a Legoland adventure. It’s a comfortable home-from-home, with a sofa bed in the living room that can accommodate an adult or two children – though the main bedroom is on the mezzanine level above, so it’s not the most private set-up. Still, for such a convenient location, it’s a solid option.

You’ll never be short of things to do when you stay at this characterful country estate. There’s a sauna, hot tub, tennis court, and a gym, plus a natural swimming pond with its own sandy beach. And when you’re ready to retire indoors, you’ll find generous, ornately-decorated rooms and plenty of space to get comfy. It’s also close to Windsor (for a visit to the castle or Legoland) and less than half an hour to London on the Elizabeth Line. Family get-together or group getaway, this home has all you need for an extra-special stay.
