Best hotels in Berkshire for comfort, charm and castle views

Ray Coates

Each British county has its own charms, but only one wears a crown. The Royal County of Berkshire, so titled since 1957, is home to the late Queen’s favourite castle – and, for many, that’s enough of a reason to visit.

Beyond Windsor’s fine pomp and pageantry, you’ll find a region full of surprises. Think riverside theatres, abundant museums, and villages with more Michelin stars than most cities. And of course we can’t talk about this part of the UK without mentioning the famous LegoLand resort, Beale Wildlife Park where you can mingle with meerkats, and the bustling music scene that pops up in Reading every summer.
