Hello travelers,
I’m looking to stay for one night near London Heathrow airport this August 2026. I’m traveling with my senior aunt who tells me she is planning to bring lots of luggage. Sigh. We are going on a two week cruise out of Portsmouth and I’m thinking to stay one night in Windsor the night before the cruise.
Does anyone have a suggestion for hotels in Windsor? Is there somewhere else that you would recommend to stay 1 overnight rather than Windsor?
I’m also looking for private transport company to take us from Windsor to Portsmouth with the idea of stopping at Stonehenge for my aunt. Any suggestions?

We used Blacklane to get us from Portsmouth to Windsor in 2023. Since you want to stop at Stonehenge, I would go with Daytrip.
We loved the Hotel Castle Windsor,

I will look into Daytrip. Have you used them before?
I don’t expect it to be cheap, but I also don’t want to spend a fortune. It’s really a surprise for my aunt

I have used Daytrip a couple of times and they were fine.

Winchester is a decent alternative to Windsor and worth considering.
