Taplow House Hotel & Spa  

On the border of Berkshire and Buckinghamshire in Taplow (Maidenhead), this Georgian/Edwardian country house sits on six acres just outside London. About 40 minutes from central London and roughly 15–25 minutes from Heathrow, it's close to Cliveden House, Bray Marina, the Thames, Dorney Court and within easy reach of Windsor Castle and LEGOLAND Windsor.

A peaceful, characterful retreat with period charm and modern touches. The hotel has 32 individually styled rooms and suites with memory-foam beds, Egyptian cotton sheets and plush furnishings. Expect garden views, private bathrooms with shower/tub combos and designer toiletries. The hotel hosts private events and weddings, so occasional event noise may be audible; a one-bridal policy is in place for booked weddings.

Full-service spa with massages, facials and body treatments, plus sauna and hot tub. Hair salon on site. Bar and restaurant, picnic and barbecue areas, concierge and transfer assistance, laundry and dry cleaning, safe-deposit boxes, complimentary Wi‑Fi and free self-parking. Wake up to garden mornings and six acres of grounds featuring Europe's largest tulip trees.

Complimentary high-speed wired and wireless internet, meeting and event spaces for conferences or weddings, 24-hour front desk and express check-out.

On-site restaurant with garden views and alfresco dining when weather allows, plus a relaxed bar/lounge. Room service is available for limited hours. Full breakfasts are served for a fee (weekdays 7:00–9:30, weekends 8:00–10:00), with afternoon tea and light bites also offered.
