Feel like a celebrity with the superb service and atmosphere of Great Fosters – Near Windsor.

Updated: Oct 11, 2025

When traveling and collecting stories for Aegean Notebooks, I always seek out places where luxury meets history, and service becomes art. One such place is the Great Fosters – Near Windsor, a hotel that literally transports guests back to Elizabethan England while maintaining all the hallmarks of modern comfort.

A Hotel with History

Located near Windsor, Great Fosters is striking from the first moment: a graceful Elizabethan-style house, surrounded by 50 acres of manicured gardens and parkland, opens up beyond the tall trees. Built in the 16th century, this mansion has been a hotel since 1931, and has retained its historic aura. High ceilings, original wood paneling, fireplaces, and antique furniture—every corner exudes the atmosphere of an aristocratic English home.

An atmosphere for a special holiday

You'll want to linger here: stroll along the green alleys, sip tea on the terrace, and feel like you're part of history. Great Fosters is ideal for a romantic weekend, as well as intimate events, weddings, or business meetings where impressing your guests is key.

Culinary Discoveries

Gastronomy is a separate chapter. The hotel has two restaurants:

Estate Grill – simple yet impeccable cuisine with an emphasis on seasonal ingredients.

Tudor Pass – a more refined dining experience, where Chef Alex Payne creates signature tasting menus.

Every dish here is a miniature work of art, harmoniously blending tradition and modern techniques.

Rooms with character

Great Fosters rooms are more than just a place to sleep. Each room is unique: period details sit alongside modern comforts, and large windows offer views of the gardens. It's a place where you'll want to close your laptop and simply enjoy the moment.

Why stay here

Historic charm and impeccable service.

Spacious gardens and perfect photo locations.

The opportunity to enjoy high-quality cuisine without leaving the hotel.

Close proximity to Windsor and its main attractions.

From Aegean Notebooks

For me, Great Fosters – Near Windsor isn't just a hotel, it's a whole story, where you can feel like the hero of a British novel and, at the same time, a celebrity. Here, past and present blend harmoniously, creating an atmosphere that makes you want to stay longer than you planned.
