Indian Summer in Windsor

Wow what a scorcher today is in Windsor - it's 27 degrees centigrade and it's a perfect day to visit Windsor Castle, go for a walk along the Thames towpath, take a boat ride or just sit in one of the many parks and enjoy the scenery - with all of these choices we just don't know how lucky we are sometimes...  For somewhere nice to stay try a newly refurbished room at Alma House B&B or book an apartment if staying for a week or more.  Check last minute offers on the "Check Availability" link at http://www.almahouse.co.uk/

Special Weekend Accommodation Offers

As Autumn approaches... and we have upgraded some of our rooms (see above and below pics) we have uploaded a few special offers to tempt you with including our Weekend Family Treat - a reduced price stay for two consecutive nights during Friday to Sunday AND Free Wine and Chocolates thrown in for good measure.  There are so many reasons to visit Windsor including great shopping (start Christmas shopping early...) and the fabulous restaurants like the new Crema that has just opened on Peascod Street where nothing is a problem - they bend over backwards to get you what you want and at a price that suits you - more about them in later posts.  

The Family room has had a makeover including new carpets, newly painted walls, new lighting, new lamps, an ipod docking station (and handy charger for your iPhone) which also doubles as an alarm clock and last but not least a complete new bathroom with funky shower complete with complimentary toiletries....

Round Tower at Windsor Castle to open to the public

For the first time in nearly four decades the Round Tower, a dominating feature of Windsor Castle, will open it's doors to the public.  If you are brave enough you will be able to walk up 200 (yes 200) steps to the top of the tower to marvel at a splendid view of Windsor and London city skyline in the distance.

Opening for two months in August 2011 this tower has been recently underpinned due to subsidence and currently houses the royal archives.
