Short Break Inspiration

You may be thinking of planning a day trip to Windsor but with so much to see and do, why not make a weekend of it?

You can’t say the word ‘Windsor’ without conjuring up images of the world’s oldest and largest inhabited castle, royalty, racing, Changing the Guard, the River Thames and Eton College.

Windsor thrives on its royal patronage, rich cultural heritage, stunning architecture and beautiful natural scenery.

Add to this an abundance of one-of-a-kind shops and a culinary scene headed by the likes of Heston Blumenthal and you’ll have a reasonable idea of the treats in store for you in Windsor!

Whatever your reason for visiting, let us inspire you with our short break ideas.

If you like a bit of shopping then you will love discovering the shops on a Shopping Break to the Windsor area. Discover the independent shops in Maidenhead and in the borough’s towns and villages and the upmarket brands and souvenir shops in Windsor Royal.

If you are looking to impress your loved one, you’ll love the places you can stay and the things you can do on a Romantic Break to the local area. We have luxury hotels, fine dining in abundance and plenty of treats in offer for the two of you.

Pamper yourself on a Spa Break at one of our exquisite spa hotels – you won’t want to leave!

For a spot of culture, we have festivals, historic buildings and theatre aplenty.  See our Culture Breaks page for our top picks.
