Stay near Legoland Windsor
Did you know that Windsor is home to two of the UK’s top ten attractions? Can you guess what they are?
Windsor Castle with its strong connection to the Royal Family and also, located just 2 miles from the castle is Legoland Windsor.
There is so much to do and see in Windsor as if there wasn’t enough to keep you busy exploring the beautiful historical town centre with our superb theatre, shops, bars and restaurants to river cruises, stunning walks in the Great Park including the famous Long Walk and Changing of the Guard.
However, if you are visiting with children they will never forgive you if you don’t take a day out to visit amazing Legoland theme park. Just a few short miles from Windsor town centre, a stay with us means that you can combine all the town has to offer and then either take a short drive, bus or taxi to nearby Legoland which sits just on the edge of Windsor town centre.
