Explore the vibrant town of Reading...

With a prominent university, vibrant town centre, plenty of green spaces and easy transport links into London, Reading is great for a weekend getaway or short break in Berkshire.

We have a variety of holiday homes in the area to choose from, including luxury riverside apartments and cosy dog-friendly cottages.

Nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts will fall in love with the breathtaking beauty of the Berkshire countryside, from woodland walks in an enchanted forest and waterside rambles along the River Thames, to hearty pub lunches in traditional villages and artisanal shopping in historic market towns.

Discover royal heritage & riverside beauty in Windsor...

One of the most iconic attractions in the whole of Berkshire has to be the royal residence of Windsor Castle. Sitting on a chalk hill overlooking the River Thames in the historic town of Windsor, a visit to this 1000-year-old fortress is a great day out for history buffs and novices alike. Admire the opulent State Apartments, adorned with impressive artworks and furnishings, and visit St George's Chapel, burial place of monarchs including Henry VIII and Charles I. Surrounding the castle, you'll find the royal park of Windsor Forest (also known as Windsor Great Park), originally the hunting ground for William the Conqueror. Today, you can explore its ornamental gardens, ancient oak woodlands and picturesque Deer Park, where you can often spot herds of red deer roaming freely. The renowned Ascot Racecourse is only a short drive away. Nearby, one of the most popular local attractions for family fun and adventure has to be LEGOLAND Windsor Resort. The theme park features an abundance of attractions, rides and interactive play areas, plus plenty of impressive exhibits built using LEGO bricks. With a perfect combination of fun, adventure, history and culture, Windsor ticks plenty of boxes for a memorable Berkshire holiday.
