Guests can enjoy exploring the great outdoors at nearby Runnymede which offers walks through ancient woodland and open wildflower meadows. The hotel is also close to several popular attractions such as Legoland, Thorpe Park and Windsor Castle. Visitors will be able to enjoy a stay in one of the newly refurbished suites in the Georgian mansion house, The White House, which offers a luxurious yet relaxed, contemporary design while retaining the estate’s original 14th-century features. The hotel’s 1705 Restaurant & Bar celebrates the best of British ingredients serving traditional and signature dishes, and offers a well-stocked bar selling a range of wines, craft beers and classic cocktails. The Chapel at the property is one of the hotel’s most unique features and a popular choice for ceremonies. It features an ornate painted ceiling and exquisite stained glass windows. Small micro weddings can take place in a variety of function rooms in the main house and larger affairs of up to 550 guests can be accommodated in the refurbished Hanover Suite when restrictions are lifted. A modern space flooded with natural light, this suite has direct access to the Hanover Bar which opens out on to the patio – perfect for a summer drinks reception. We love... that for an additional cost of £30 per night, doggie guests receive a bowl, bed and delicious treats to enjoy throughout their stay. This elegant Georgian mansion hotel nestled in the beautiful Buckinghamshire countryside is set in 10 acres of manicured gardens creating a romantic setting of a bygone era with a sprawling lawn to the front and tall trees framing the house. Wedding guests can enjoy an overnight stay in a newly designed Laura Ashley bedroom (the main function rooms for weddings also enjoy Laura Ashley décor) and there’s also Laura Ashley The Tea Room decorated in the brand’s signature style offering diners the option of a quintessentially English afternoon tea. Ceremonies take place in the spacious Windsor Suite that’s decorated in neutral tones. It can hold up to 120 guests (when current restrictions are lifted) and the team at the hotel have a list of recommended suppliers who can help style the room. The hotel is also the ideal choice for an intimate gathering of 15 loved ones, and there are outdoor ceremony options too. 22
