Sir Christopher Wren Hotel, Thames Street, Windsor, Berkshire

With its pretty shopping lanes unravelling from the castle at the top of the hill, Windsor is one of Britain's loveliest towns. Your stylish pad comprises several characterful buildings, which are clustered around a historic cobbled street by Eton Bridge. Windsor and Eton Riverside Station is just a stone’s throw away, offering railway links to London and beyond.

A stroll up the hill will take you into the beautiful town centre, revealing the iconic castle on the left and an upscale parade of shops and restaurants on the right. Windsor Great Park and Alexandra Park are not far from here and there are several championship golf courses in the area (this region is famed for its excellent golf clubs).
