Royal Correspondent: Berkshire

The town of Windsor is perhaps most famous for its castle and it's possible to see this illustrious landmark — one of the British Royal Family's residences — from the balcony of this third-floor apartment. During the warmer months, it's a lovely spot on which to sit out and watch the sky change colour as day turns into night — or just to people-watch on the street below. Inside, guests will find a well-appointed home with lots of chic touches, from the glass dining table and the minimalist white kitchen to the gold lighting fixtures dotted about. When you're ready to head into town, you're surrounded by restaurants and cafes, while the castle can be reached in five minutes on foot. London takes about an hour to reach on the train or by car too, which makes it great for both day trips or commuting.
