A Bespoke British Luxury Stay Near Windsor
For guests seeking an exceptional British escape, The Hand & Flowers offers a luxury stay near Windsor and London unlike any other. Combining world-class, two Michelin-starred dining, elegant boutique accommodation and fully tailored travel experiences, we create seamless, memorable stays defined by comfort, heritage and outstanding food. Located in the riverside town of Marlow, just a short journey from Windsor Castle and London, The Hand & Flowers is housed within an 18th-century, Grade II listed pub building, rich in architectural and historic character. It offers a refined yet relaxed base for exploring some of England’s most iconic destinations.
Two Michelin Stars, Led by Tom Kerridge
The Hand & Flowers holds a unique place in British dining history as the only pub in the UK to hold two Michelin stars. Under the ownership of Chef Tom Kerridge — whose cookbooks and television work are widely recognised internationally — the restaurant has become a destination for those seeking the very best of modern British cuisine.
Dining sits at the heart of every stay, from indulgent lunches to refined evening menus showcasing the finest seasonal British produce. Experiences can be tailored around your visit, with options for private dining, wine pairings and personalised menus, creating an immersive culinary destination unlike anywhere else.
Boutique rooms with character & charm
While The Hand & Flowers is famed for its food, our boutique rooms are destinations in their own right. Set across charming, character-filled buildings, each room is individually designed, combining period features with contemporary comfort.
With premium linens, bespoke furnishings and thoughtful details throughout, the rooms offer a calm, restorative retreat — whether you’re staying for a single night or enjoying a longer escape. This is not simply a “pub with rooms”, but a collection of distinctive, intimate spaces designed for guests who value privacy, comfort and individuality.
Seamless travel & private transfers
To ensure every stay feels effortless, private airport transfers can be arranged from London airports, including Heathrow, Gatwick and London City, with discreet professional chauffeur services.
For guests wishing to explore further, private drivers can also be arranged for bespoke itineraries to Windsor, London, the Cotswolds, Oxford and Henley-on-Thames, all planned around your schedule and interests.
