“The Winning Post presents a curious blend: it's a place where the pub's lively atmosphere spills over, sometimes making parking a minor adventure; however, once inside, the locally sourced food and extensive drink selection are definite highlights. Individually decorated and recently refurbished rooms, plus its proximity to Windsor and Legoland, position this hotel as an appealing countryside escape, especially if you're fond of historic charm and a good pint.”

the rooms were beautifully decorated, and every detail was thought of. the bedlinen felt fresh and clean, like a cloud. tea and coffee facilities were available along with a superbly appointed shower room.
steep steps led up to the room, and they were slippery and full of puddles. a ground floor room would have been better. the wooden hand rail was also slippery when wet.
