Berkshire’s attractions: Windsor Castle, Ascot, Eton and Bray - of three Michelin starred The Fat Duck and Waterside Inn fame, are a distraction from the beauty of this county. Green, pleasant and affluent, Berkshire has very pretty towns and villages, with graceful churches and wonderfully romantic old country piles in amongst fields and woodland. Berkshire is peaceful, and yet it’s got the best of everything, so if you’re looking for some quiet time alone, but with world class dining and antique and boutique shopping, then Berkshire’s most romantic hotels are probably for you and yours.
You don’t have to travel a long way to find romance, and for many Londoners, Berkshire, which is just to the west, is far enough away from town to feel mini-break-y and romantic. And our Guru’s recommendations for Berkshire’s 7 Most Romantic Hotels are a great place to start if that’s the feeling you’re looking for. In amongst seeing the majesty of Windsor Castle, of course.

There’s a welcoming pub plus a more formal dining room.
- The Elephant at Pangbourne is a quirky Victorian property with 22 individually decorated rooms which follow the whole property’s theme of the opulence of the Empire.

- Long time haunt of the anyone who could wrangle themselves an invitation - from Chaplin to Churchill and Laurence to Lennon - Cliveden House is a stunning stately home with genuine Old Masters adorning the walls and a priceless collection of antiques. You’re just 45 minutes from London, but the stylish, National Trust owned surroundings and luxurious details make this a trip-back-in-time. The hot tubs are of the outdoor, Canadian wood variety, and there’s also indoor and outdoor pools and a good spa.
- If you’re looking for a private hot tub with a view, the Crab and Boar is a wonderful option. It has an enviable position: high in the Newbury Downs, and several of its 14 rooms have private terraces with their own hot tubs. The decor was updated in 2015, into to a rustic-inn/ boutique hotel hybrid, which is a real pleasure to stay in - but this is actually an historic spot and Oliver Cromwell is a previous guest.
