HOTELS IN BERKSHIRE

It's an easy drive to a short break in Berkshire, as this pretty county has the M4 motorway running right through the middle of it. However, if you drive just a couple of miles from the motorway, a whole host of pretty villages and elegant Berkshire country house hotels beckon you to stop and stay!

Newbury lies in West Berkshire, a beautiful setting for this interesting market town with its old High Street and excellent entertainment. Nearby Beacon Hill rises high above the surrounding countryside, with great views from the top. After such a climb you'll need a drink, and where better than The Vine, an award-winning restaurant with rooms offering top class accommodation in Berkshire.

Other hotels in Berkshire range from luxury hotels to country bed and breakfasts nestling amongst the North Wessex Downs. You can also get great weekend hotel rates from the major hotel groups around Reading.
To the east, Berkshire offers the chance of a right royal short break in a Windsor hotel, from which you can explore the historic royal Windsor Castle and marvel at the superb restoration after the disastrous fire. Take a walk in Windsor Great Park and you might even bump into her Majesty herself, as this is a favourite haunt of the Royal family! Even if you're not a horse racing fan, who could resist the elegance of Royal Ascot, a great excuse to buy a new hat for your visit to Berkshire!
