Directions
​​
Little Dower House, Crimp Hill, Old Windsor, Berkshire, SL4 2HL
​
The entrance to the estate sits on Crimp Hill Road, opposite Windsor Great Park.​ We share a post code with Sir Elton John next door. Please ignore your sat nav if it tries to take you up his long, straight tree-lined driveway.
​
Instead, enter through the open black gates which sit between two curved brick walls (pictured). Carry on past the cottage immediately on your left until you reach a fork in the driveway.
​
At this point turn right, and continue past the Little Dower House sign. (Don't go left to the Dower House or Dower House cottage).​ Carry on around the bend until you reach a circular gravel roundabout outside the main house.
You have arrived!
Book the hot tub
​Treat yourself to the ultimate getaway with your own private wood-fired hot tub – perfect for relaxing under the stars or soaking while watching the sunset. The hot tub is available for a minimum of 2 nights for £75, which includes full set-up, heating before your arrival, and unlimited use throughout your stay.
Staying longer? You can extend your hot tub experience for just £20 per additional night, covering the cost of re-heating and kiln-dried firewood.
For an extra touch of luxury, add our Extra Bubbles package for £25, including a chilled bottle of Prosecco on ice and a box of chocolates to enjoy while you unwind.

Alternative Access – Savill Garden & Surroundings
For easy access to lakes, ornamental gardens, and scenic dog-walking areas, we recommend visiting The Savill Garden.
This beautifully maintained area offers a different side of Windsor Great Park, with landscaped gardens, peaceful water features, and well-marked walking routes suitable for all abilities.
There is convenient parking available at The Savill Garden, making it an ideal starting point to explore a variety of walking trails, lakes, and open green spaces within the park.
