The Windsor Crown

The Windsor Crown: Berkshire

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.

Home truths:
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free. You'll need to request it in advance and provide your own linen.
*Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There’s free parking here.
*The bedrooms feel a little sparse. There's not much furniture or colour in them.
