Embark on a Windsor lunch cruise for the most pleasant way to see this Royal Borough! Of all the places to eat in Windsor a luncheon afloat has got to trump them all for setting & views. As you float gently along the Thames lunch will be served at your table. Good company good food & a superb little river cruise around Windsor
- what more could you ask for?

Setting off from the heart of Windsor these daytime cruises are superb for combining sightseeing with a nice meal. You have the choice of a two or three course lunch menu or the Sunday/ Bank Holiday lunch option.

There is so much to see on a river cruise through Windsor. Life here revolves around the Thames with waterside walks boating clubs & gorgeous private homes lining the banks. It’s all steeped in history too with nearly every period of architecture represented much of which you’ll see on your river cruise. Windsor Castle is Norman the Guildhall dates back to the Stuart period & there are numerous fine houses built during the Victorian period.

And indeed if you arrive by train from London’s Waterloo Windsor & Eton Riverside Station is a fine example of Victorian architecture & literally just around the corner from your river cruise departure point at Thames Side. Incidentally these lunch cruises are operated by Bateaux Windsor sister company to the famous Thames dining cruise company in the capital.

The vessel you’ll be cruising along the Thames in Windsor is called Willow Room She’s a lovely classic-looking river cruiser with curved glass panoramic windows offering a nice intimate setting with no more than 40 passengers on these luncheon cruise departures. Bateaux is well-known for its modern European meets classic English-style cuisine with seasonal dishes & a lovely presentation.

The staff will look after you from the moment you step aboard for your Windsor lunch cruise to when you leave the boat. With plenty of time onboard to enjoy the views of historic Windsor from the water we think this has got to be the best place to have lunch in Windsor
- & it’s one that’s on the move!

Now you might think that being based just outside Brighton this windsurfing school would be offering lessons on the sea. In fact it's pretty hard controlling the rig out on the open waves so these sessions take place at Hove Lagoon which has waist-height waters with light winds making it the perfect place for beginners. If you've never even seen what the rig looks like close-up you might think the board seems very long (usually around two metres) & that the sail seems really bulky. But in fact this centre near Brighton has invested in some of the most up-to-date learner windsurf set-ups that are lightweight & surprisingly easy to manoeuvre
- even if it takes all your concentration to just stand up! Of course it's not recommended to just hop on a...

Soak up those sunset views of the vines on a Three Choirs vineyard break for two! Spend a night at one of England's leading vineyards in the Cotswolds. superb views in a peaceful setting combine with a wine tasting & tour for a fabulous break away for two on a room with breakfast basis. Three Choirs is one of the largest & oldest vineyards in the country. Already really popular with visitors the winery team was always being asked about accommodation at Three Choirs. Time & time again visitors were saying that they'd love to stay
- so that's what the owners have done! Described as a 'restaurant with rooms' rather than a hotel the Three Choirs vineyard welcomes guests to stay in the heart of this unique winery setting. There a just eight rooms & each one offers a balcony with gorgeous views out over the rows & rows of vines. Very comfortably furnished with all the modern amenities you could wish for it's a great place to spend the night. & of course you're right on site ready for discovering the world of wine. Once you've checked in & made yourself at home for your midweek break it's time to get exploring Three Choirs. We can highly recommend an afternoon stroll in & around the vines along the vineyard trail with nature & wildlife at every turn. Wander through glorious natural habitats where flora & fauna thrive. See if you can spot the nesting boxes for the hedgehogs or the teeny ones for the ladybirds. Continue your very pleasant walk past the ponds & the stream & you might well encounter foxes owls rabbits & badgers too. Back at the winery it's the perfect time to embark on your wine tasting at the ' Cellar Door'. Here you'll learn all about the wine that's made at Three Choirs
- & it really is very good. We think it's the perfect prelude to a dinner in the Brasserie which is open in the evening should you wish to book a table for the evening of your stay. All done at a very leisurely pace we think this Three Choirs vineyard break is just great. The idea of relaxing at a vineyard drinking wine & learning about how it's made without having to think about heading off back home that same day is a real bonus. It means you make the most of your accommodation in the most wonderful setting accompanied by lots of delicious wine!
