This elegant 19th-century home is nestled within the grounds of the former Old Windsor Tapestries factories. It's surrounded by well-maintained communal gardens, but you'll have your own private terrace, too. The main staircase is rather narrow and a little steep, so guests with limited mobility might be better off looking elsewhere. But pets are welcome, and the nearby River Thames offers plenty of walking trails. There are several local restaurants within easy walking distance, and it's only a short drive from Heathrow Airport and Windsor Castle.
