Great Fosters - Near Windsor

Stylish and luxurious, beautiful grounds and stunning food. Service was excellent and the rooms are absolutely gorgeous. Well worth it for a special occasion.

The outdoor pool which looked fab wasn’t open.

What a fabulous place to stay, a little bit of luxury to finish our 3 week Europe trip on and it delivered. My husband and I also had some spa services which were divine. The staff were very friendly and service was incredible. We would 100% visit again.

Beautiful property festive and charming decorations

I loved the hotel and the room. The breakfast was amazing and overall, it was a brilliant stay where I felt looked after. Thank you

For luxury (at a price) you cannot beat Great Fosters. We knew it was going to be a fantastic stay and had high expectations which on the whole were met. Our meal at the Tudor Pass restaurant was stunning and the service in the hotel is out of this world. The bed in our room was super comfortable - bath and shower fabulous and the decor is a great example of taking a box (room in the coach house) and making it feel cared for and thought out. Simple but with careful twists.

COST It's the cost really. I felt as if I was being charged just to breathe in the luxury and I don't think it needs to be that. It is a Michelin starred restaurant and as such you expect elevated prices and I cannot fault the food or service but I had thought there was an option for the shorter courses menu. I have eaten long course lunches here before so didn;t relaly need the signature taster menu- in the end we were in there for nearly 3 hours and combined with the fact we had a cocktail in the bar beforehand, the bill felt sinful. I was shocked and it means I won't be at the January sales! I guess that is how the other half lives. BRING A PHYSICAL CREDIT CARD There was also a moment with reception regarding the fact we had not brought a physical credit or debit card with us. This meant we could not use anything extra in the room or something because they could not take a £100 gurantee. I felt constrained by that and whenver I opened the fridge i epxepcetd the concierge to appear! I didn't know if the water in the fridge would be charged (I have been in other 5* plus hotels around the world and usually it is free) so I went without - there is always tap water! FIX THE DEEP HUM ON THE HEATING And the final thing, if we are talking about luxury - can you fix the noise on the heating in room 36 please - whenever it was on there was a loud low hum which was unacceptable. We turned the heating off in the end - thankfully the room was warm enough.

A beautiful historic hotel with stunning grounds and very helpful staff.

We were very disappointed with our stay. In the first room we were given, the bathroom light was not working. We were then moved to Room 55, where unfortunately the heating and the internet were not working either. We asked for an electric heater, which was brought to the room. The mattress was too soft and the pillows were uncomfortable. Overall, these issues took away all the magic and beauty of what is otherwise a lovely place.

The "English Breakfast" was excellent but the breakfast menu was disappointingly limited. Did not try other meals and their menus. Size and layout of the room was good but it was cold with poor, noisy heating. Hotel location was fine - very easy to find.

Disliked the gravel driveways and footways. The main carpark is in need of urgent maintenance/repair. Using a single sized duvet in a double sized duvet cover, with the excess folded under, was hugely uncomfortable. The wash basin in the bathroom gets 9/10 for appearance and 1/10 for functionality.
