This red-brick Queen Anne house is just 25 minutes from Heathrow and a little over an hour from central London. It sits on the doorstep of some of the world’s Top 100 golf courses, including Sunningdale, Swinley Forest and St George’s Hill, which makes it a superb base for a golf holiday. Windsor Castle and Ascot Racecourse are also close by. The hotel has 66 stylish bedrooms and suites, and its manicured lawns and gardens create a calm, elegant setting.
The main restaurant, Fork, is a bright, airy space overlooking the lawns. It serves comforting classics alongside more contemporary dishes, with hearty buffet breakfasts to set you up for a day on the course and Sunday lunches it’s well known for. Afternoon tea is a must for anyone wanting a taste of British tradition. Expect delicate pastries, sandwiches and scones with plenty of tea and clotted cream, all finished with a glass of English sparkling wine.
In the warmer months, the sun-drenched terrace is the perfect spot to relax after a round. Guests can enjoy the dining menu outdoors with drinks and cocktails, or grab an ice cream when the terrace horse box is open. The elegant bar is another lovely place to unwind and share stories from the day’s play.
With world-class golf nearby, a charming historic setting and a relaxed, welcoming feel, Royal Berkshire is an ideal choice for golfers looking for comfort, charm and a sense of calm, all within easy reach of London.
