SL1 8LR is the post code
Looks like a bit of a slog on public transport I think I would book a car service.

best is relative....
The Hotel is not in Slough, it's only just in Burnham. This is not a bad thing but it does mean that the regular local buses from Heathrow to Slough aren't that useful. Which really leaves a pre booked car service as the winner, it's 15 miles by the direct route and about an hour faster than indirect public transport. Ask the hotel if they can suggest an operator.
The postcode is actually SL1 8LR
Edit: Trelawny overtook me whilst i was interrupted by the phone!

That's an exaggeration. Take the Elizabeth Line to Burnham or Taplow with a change at Hayes and Harlington (very little in it distance wise) then taxi.
The overall journey on the train is about 30 minutes, then a 6 to 8 minute taxi ride.
It's about 28 to 30 minutes by taxi or car service.
Burnham has a taxi rank, Taplow hasn't- need to ring for one- https://assets.nationalrail.co.uk/e8xgegruud3g/3kT9OvPLPXBTWc0BH4Cwaj/b85e1b3421b3bcdbf442ab5ec3d41cd5/Burnham__BNM_.pdf
