Also nearby is Virginia Water Lake (where numerous Harry Potter woodland scenes were filmed), the Theatre Royal Windsor and the natural haven of the Savill Garden. In the evenings, dine at one of the Michelin-starred restaurants, including Heston Blumenthal’s Fat Duck , the three-starred Waterside Inn or the 15th-century Hind’s Head, all just five miles away in the glorious gastronomic village of Bray.

WHY WE LOVE IT: Dating back to 1831, Adelaide Terrace is nestled in one of Britain’s most storied locations – around the cobbled corners you could stumble upon a plaque recording the warrant for the execution of Charles I in 1648, or the house where Charles II’s mistress, Nell Gwynne, lived. Plus, with this beautiful house comes ample opportunity to spot members of the Royal family returning to the Castle as they drive down the famous tree-lined avenue, right from the bedroom windows.
