Itinerary

Day 1 - Outward Travel

Day 2 - Full Day Hampton Court Palace

  • Discover the public dramas and private lives of Henry VIII, his wives and their children in the world of Tudor court. Admire the Great Hall, Tudor Kitchens and splendid acres of magnificent gardens. Uncover Tudor treasures and an iconic maze at this Grade I-listed royal palace on the banks of the river Thames, which is said to have been Henry VIII's favourite residence.

Day 3 - Full Day to London

  • You will have free time to explore England’s capital city – see the sights, hit the shops or perhaps visit one of the many world-class museums.

Day 4 - Full Day to Royal Windsor

  • Aside from its Royal connections, Windsor is a lively town in a glorious riverside setting with great shopping and restaurants. The iconic castle has stood proudly over the town since 1070 - keep an eye out for the Royal Standard flying which indicates if HRH King Charles III is in residence. The cobbled streets of Windsor are home to buildings dating from the 17th century and Queen Charlotte Street is one of the shortest streets in Britain at just 51 feet and 10 inches!

The hotel has spacious rooms and a delightful restaurant offering tasty menu choices. Set within beautiful gardens, the surroundings are a great place to relax.
