Great Fosters - Near Windsor

This is a lovely hotel really nice location surroundings are beautiful. Rooms are comfy it's modern even though the building and surroundings are historic. Largely it's great Be mindful of rooms. Mine although comfortable with the window open I could hear car doors slamming at 6am and noisy talking in other rooms I found it strange to be offered late checkout only to be found that it came at a cost. That cost of £50 didn't give me the luxury to carry on using the pool till the end of the day and only to the end of the late checkout which seems a bit unnecessary The pool service was very slow and I found it very strange to be served by men in shoes and suits. All unnecessarily stuffy.

Beautiful country hotel near Windsor. Fabulous decor, swimming pool set in beautiful grounds. Afternoon tea was amazing. Highly recimmend.

Floorboards are creaky so not good for light sleepers. Drinks too over 20mins to arrive in the garden and I got food poisoning from undercooked sausages at breakfast. The spa was amazing and staff are very nice in general

Great Fosters is a beautiful hotel, with stunning grounds and an idyllic heated outdoor pool. Our more modern room - a super spacious king suite - was comfortable and air conditioned. Breakfast was of a good standard, a bit limited compared to my expectations but good quality. Our only complaint was that drinks service in the bar was painfully slow.

Hotel and grounds amazing , food and pricing in the restaurant ok , didn’t do the Michelin star but the estates grill was ok. There is a lot of potential for it to be better The room was nice however the heat due to no ac was an issue , heated pool was lovely and clean

This hotel is absolutely beautiful. The manicured gardens are stunning. The heated outdoor pool and hot tub have a beautiful setting. My only problem is the lack of training the staff seem to have had. Service is 3 star at best. Breakfast is lacking choice and quality. Despite that we will still stay there the next time we go to Ascot as it's just so beautiful

Fantastic pool and gardens. Very good service and good room, stayed in cosy room and was a good size with walk in shower.

Beautiful hotel. Had a cosy double which had plenty of space. Breakfast had plenty of options hot/cold. Pool was lovely and warm as well as hot tob Only negative I have is that pool should be able to be used on day of check in and check out as only being able to use after 3pm and before 11am doesn't allow for much time of use

Wonderful outdoor swimming pool. Spectacular walking range n extensive gardens with water lilies and statues. Free bikes to visit Windsor Great Park on bike trail. Lovely food and cocktails. Exceptionally kind and professional staff.

Lovely hotel, a really impressive building and gardens with a wonderful array of original features and a great outdoor pool. The staff were excellent, polite, friendly and helpful. And the food and cocktails were lovely.

It felt like a privilege to stay in this gorgeous hotel. We loved the pool and grounds. But somehow the service and cleanliness was slightly off. Two members of staff stood out as exceptional - Tom the door man and Italian waiter at dinner.

We stayed for one night this week. The staff were great We had booked a luxury super king with breakfast @ £355.50. The property is a superb 16th century former hunting lodge and has many lovely features. Outside the gardens were superb and very well kept. However, our room/bathroom left quite a lot to be desired. The room was run down. I.e. bare patches on windowsills. Chipped furniture and large stuff marks on the floor. Neither of the overhead bed reading lights worked and one of the lamps had the wrong fittings. Also ceiling light was missing. There was no info pack to tell us about the hotel/how to operate things in the room.local facilities etc… the air conditioning controls in the room didn’t work, although could be centrally controlled but couldn’t then be switched off. The bathroom was spacious with a bath (although that had two black hairs in it which were definitely not ours). This was reported but not dealt with. The vanity mirror in the bathroom was broken and could not be used. When either of the taps to the basin were turned on, they leaked, splashing water all over the back of the unit. There was grime around the overflow. It seems that whoever is in charge of maintenance/housekeeping needs to check the room carefully and rectify the problems mentioned. Having paid that amount of money for what was supposed to be ‘luxury’ super king. It fell far below the standard of other commensurate hotels in which we have stayed over the years. A great pity.

The staff were fabulous and the hotel really interesting. The only downside was a need for some minor repairs and refreshment.

Amazing location and property. Great staff and very clean.

A beautiful old hotel in need of some tlc.

Nice enough but generally a bit tired. The room and bathroom in particular felt dated and in need of a refresh.

Lovely location and the grandiose building is memorable pity that service does not match the surroundings, they messed up our breakfast and we saw rubbish around the grounds and pool area in the evening that were still there the next day…. The attention to detail that you would expect from a SLH is absent

Beautiful property with stunning gardens. Doesn’t feel like 5 star luxury though. The carpet on the stairs was filthy and the food was just okay

The Property is a stunning Tudor Building with fabulous Gardens, the dinning experience was also very good. Hotel was clean and service was generally good

The property is amazing; including the building and the gardens. The staff were very polite. However, behind the great property and polite staff a lot of items were sub-standard. Including but not limited to; No A/C (room was over $600/day), very weak or broken WIFI, no hotel phone in room so had to use house Google tablet to do everything but the apps did not work correctly and weak/broken WIFI caused timeouts or made the apps inoperable, no tomato juice for Vodka/tomato in restaurant, waiter spilt food in restaurant and did not properly clean it up, no accommodation for simple requests in restaurant, food was below expected standard for price. Our local English friends also agreed the restaurant experience was sub-standard. This hotel could be fantastic but they need to take care of the basics as well as having a great property.

This is a beautiful old estate. The grounds are beautiful - even in January. It must be absolutely lovely in the warmer summer months. My only complaint was the noise. Because the building is so old, the windows do not seal properly and any noise from the reception area such as loud talkers or cars pulling onto the stone driveway was clearly audible in our room.

I booked one of the larger rooms which was nice, but like the rest of the hotel, it was pretty “tired“ and could definitely use a facelift. The food was very good and the chef is obviously very competent but the choice of food on the menu is too limited. Staff at the hotel all try hard to do a good job and are very helpful, especially one lady who works at breakfast who was terrific in every sense. . Unfortunately, we left the hotel on a sour note thanks to the charmless front desk clerk who, when asked if we could extend our checkout time from 10:30 am to 11:30 am, advised he would charge us £20 an hour if we did not check out on time! Given we were staying in one of the most expensive rooms in the hotel and had been there for four days during which time we ran up a considerable bill for various extras including wine, this seemed a particularly obnoxious and dumb thing to do and we won’t be back.

There was nothing luxurious about the luxury room I booked. The room had no AC just a tower fan placed in a corner…. I was shocked. I carried my luggage over 3 flights of stairs and I know it’s a historical building so just a heads up the floors creak very loudly with just regular walking. You pay for the high price for the grounds I guess because the rooms will definitely disappoint you.

Nice enough but generally a bit tired. The room and bathroom in particular felt dated and in need of a refresh.

Such beautiful gardens! Room was unbearably hot.

Room was absolutely boiling, could not sleep. Given 3 useless air-cooling units that did nothing..complaint not taken seriously and £5 compensation given. Grounds nice, food at wedding and door staff great. Based on the ridiculous heat in the room, I would not recommend.

From check in to check out our stay was made very comfortable. The service was impeccable. Staff very friendly and professional

Staff made numerous mistakes and didn’t seem to care or take responsibility.

Clean room, staff all pleasant and helpful (Lewis particularly good). Will definitely visit again! Eventually found the hairdryer in the desk. Very good all round.

Beware: This hotel does not allow children at the pool during the day. We landed and arrived by noon, they did not offer a room until later in the day nor did they offer any alternate suggestions for us to enjoy ourselves on the property since we could not use the pool. They did not provide a map or any helpful info. Suggesting it might be a 3 star hotel. The restaurants are legit yet expensive, our room was good enough. Service with hotel management was poor.

Great experience with superb food and service around the pool bar. The Tudor Pass experience was phenomenal. Highly recommended. Check-in was poor with a very rude concierge who didn’t do anything to support the check-in process. For a 5 star hotel it was a let down but the Porter to support was great so he took the negative into a positive. Coordination of the bookings team was poor also due to booing individually (that was a lot cheaper!) but constantly we had to reaffirm bookings and made it a bit annoying. A great place to experience a special event.

Great Forsters is a spectacular property. Fabulous gardens and grounds. The room was 5 star, and the Michelin starred restaurant and spa (and spa staff) was exquisite. All that said, the hotel, staff-wize, was chaotic at best and inept at worst. Any time during our stay that we had a question the staff either had no answer or the wrong answer. Mysteriously disappearing dinner reservations. The simple question "can we get lunch?" led us to be directed to two eating spots, the front desk, and an actual argument between staffers about which space was responsible for serving us a sandwich. With two exceptions: the bell captain from Portugal and a gentleman at the front desk (who were professional and very accommodating), it was as if the property, that morning, had hired a bunch of people at a job fair, and bussed them all in to work that same day. The disconnect between the fine building, room and grounds, and the level of staff is jarring.

Lovely hotel, a really impressive building and gardens with a wonderful array of original features and a great outdoor pool. The staff were excellent, polite, friendly and helpful. And the food and cocktails were lovely.

Mediocre stay for a 5 star hotel. Hotel staff weren’t friendly - any request seemed like a big effort for them, no turn down service, water glasses not changed everyday, welcome desserts on arrival containing nuts so no regard for potential allergies. For breakfast, the Hollandaise wasn’t creamy, but quite tart. Next day the bacon was burnt to the point it couldn’t be cut. Didn’t have breakfast again and ate out the next 3 days. Had a burger from the bar one evening, that was burnt on one side. Outdoor pool is nice but only opens at 8 despite being unsupervised.

Super spot for a relaxing stay close to Heathrow, but far enough away..

Incredibly charming and a quick Uber ride from the airport. I wish I could have stayed longer!

Great location for the airport

My husband and Irecently had the pleasure of staying one night at Great Fosters hotel. Nestled near the heart of Windsor, this historical gem of a hotel left an indelible mark on us with its impeccable service and charming ambiance. From the moment we stepped through the small “door-in-a-door” we were immediately captivated by the enchanting and historical interior that exuded classical English charm. It was clear that great effort was taken to restore/preserve its history yet it still achieved the expectations for modern comforts. We were quite hungry the day we arrived and requested tea and we were escorted to a charming and secluded tearoom to our delight. The tea service was excellent and was a wonderful start to our stay. Afterwards, we took a stroll in the gorgeous gardens of the hotel and then retired to our room to rest before dinner. Our room was a blend of traditional and contemporary décor with a mix of antique furniture and modern amenities that provided us with a comfortable and relaxing space. It also had a scenic view of the amazing garden and grounds, which we truly enjoyed. To top off our stay, we ate at The Tudor Pass that is located in the hotel, which was absolutely outstanding. Great Fosters was truly a tranquil retreat where we were able to unwind and appreciate the beauty of an English estate and we wish we could have stayed longer. We highly recommend Great Fosters for anyone seeking an unforgettable, beautiful and historical hotel with excellent se

Always a sanctuary of peace but close to Heathrow.

Beautiful property, our last stop before returning home! Close to Heathrow Airport and a lovely end to our trip! Highly recommend a stay at the amazing place. Service was top notch, food was perfect! Would make this a stop every time in London!

Beautiful alternative to LHR hotels. A very special place and convenient to LHR

Like a National Trust day out but you get to stay overnight! With its epic, historic buildings, beautifully kept gardens & with the addition of contemporary luxury. The character features such as the front door for example, have been preserved & reinforce the authenticity of the place. Staff were helpful & on hand at any point. Food was delicious & with a good selection of drinks. We used the location for easy access to Heathrow airport. We loved our stay here. Truly beautiful place.

Very impressive and expansive grounds and historic house hotel very close to Heathrow. We used it as one might an airport hotel, but enjoyed a leisurely breakfast then strolling the gardens and grounds before getting a car for a 9 minute drive to the airport before our flight. Though some of the property could use some updating and more refined curation, for the most part, given its age, it is a fantastic spot. Just outside of London, it would also be ideal for a night or weekend getaway, a special occasion, or for a company retreat - the gardens alone, make it worth a stay. Staff was amazing

What a beautiful place. So handy for Heathrow with not being a busy airport hotel. Allow time for the grounds and gardens

We stayed in the Panel 11 room which was one of the historic master suites and was fantastic. We had an amazing meal in the Michelin star Tudor Pass a taster menu which was perfect. The service was first class staff are very helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend this hotel to my friends and family. You must sit in the gardens with are very well maintained afternoon tea was also a great experience.

The level of catering and food service is very poor, average food that is inconsistent with the property. No service at all at breakfast- quite extraordinary, almost felt that I should bring back my own empty cup and plate. No service at all.

Great service and location to go and watch golf! A little disappointed with the Estate Grill menu as it is not that similar to the sample menu on their website, saying that I would stay there again!

Lovely stay in a very impressive hotel - the setting and gardens are stunningly beautiful. So much history. The food was delicious. All staff were very friendly. We stayed the night before catching flights from Heathrow and what a way to start the holiday!
