prices can be soft—especially off-season, family-friendly, guest kitchen, 46 Alma Road,

$$ Park Farm B&B, bright and cheery, is most convenient for drivers. But even if
you're not driving, this beautiful place is such a good value, and the welcome is so warm,
that you're unlikely to mind the bus ride into town (Sb- £ 65, Db- £ 89, Tb- £ 110, Qb- £ 125,
family room with bunk beds, cash only—credit card solely for reservations, shared fridge
and microwave, free off-street parking, 1 mile from Legoland on St. Leonards Road near
Imperial Road, 5-minute bus ride or 1-mile walk to castle, £ 5 taxi ride from station, tel.
01753/866-823, www.parkfarm.com , [e-mail] , Caroline and Drew Youds).
$$ 76 Duke Street has two nice rooms, but only hosts one set of guests at a time.
While the bathroom is (just) outside your bedroom, you have it to yourself (Db- £ 80-100,
rent both rooms for £ 160-200, 15-minute walk from station at—you guessed it—76 Duke
Street, tel. [phone], www.76dukestreet.co.uk , [e-mail] , Julia).
$$ Dee and Steve's B&B is a friendly four-room place above a window shop on a
quiet residential street about a 10-minute walk from the castle and station. The rooms
are cozy, Dee and Steve are pleasant hosts, and breakfast is served in the contempor-
ary kitchen/lounge (S- £ 45, Sb- £ 55-60, Db- £ 75, 169 Oxford Road, tel. [phone],
www.deeandsteve.com , [e-mail] ) .
$$ Crown and Cushion is a good option on Eton's High Street, just across the
pedestrian bridge from Windsor's waterfront (a short uphill walk to the castle). While
the pub it's situated over is worn and drab, you're right in the heart of charming Eton,
and the eight creaky rooms—with uneven floors and old-beam ceilings—are nicely fur-
nished (Sb- £ 70, Db- £ 80, free parking, 84 High Street in Eton, tel. [phone],
www.thecrownandcushioneton.co.uk , [e-mail] ) .
Eating in Windsor
ELEGANT SPOTS WITH RIVER VIEWS
(See “Windsor” map, here .)
Several places flank Windsor Bridge, offering romantic dining after dark. The riverside
promenade, with cheap take-away stands scattered about, is a delightful place for a picnic
lunch or dinner with the swans. If you don't see anything that appeals, continue up Eton's
High Street, which is also lined with characteristic eateries.
