Stop over in Windsor when dropping off at Heathrow
Although a couple of administrative issues were encountered, these were immediately and appropriately reacted to. Accommodation, food (breakfast and dinner), bar and service all excellent. Lovely traditional rural pub with rooms. Great location close to Windsor and Heathrow.

Nice stay, great for a “spare room”
Did what we needed which was to be a “spare room” for a Christmas family visit. In room 11 which is off the pub carpark so easy to get in and out. Quite a lot of noise from the folks outside the pub until closing time, but didn’t disturb us much. Terrible drain smell when we got back late on the first night but was gone in the morning. Shame we didn’t have time to eat in the pub itself which we know from previous visits is very good.

We very much enjoyed the lovely dinner on Sunday evening in the pub. Best English meal I’ve had in a long time. We didn’t care for the small gravel parking and walkways and how difficult it made dragging our luggage to and from the room.

What a fantastic find. Did see this last month when I was working in Slough for 4 weeks but opted for something a bit closer. In hindsight I should have stayed at the winning post as it has all the comfort of a friendly, homely inn with a superb menu and service. Will Definetly be back

Room 10 had a strange smell. Think the bathroom extractor fan was not working and the drains need a flush through. Apart from that comfortable room and good breakfast.
