Great Fosters Hotel

Amidst magnificent gardens and close to Windsor and London

A former Tudor hunting lodge, Great Fosters Hotel is a stately historic house set in 50 acres of stunning gardens and parkland in Egham. Transformed into a magnificent hotel with gourmet dining, croquet, swimming, tennis and easy access to Wentworth Golf Club, this is a delightful country retreat within easy reach of London.

All the rooms and suites are individually decorated some with damask walls, Persian rugs, gilt furnishings and precious antiques. Jacobean fireplaces, tapestries and mullioned windows share the stage at Great Fosters with moulded ceilings, bright rugs and rich oak panelling.

The Oak Room

Specialising in modern English cuisine using the finest ingredients, Great Fosters offers an inspired menu of gourmet food. The hotel is equally popular with our resident guests as well as those seeking a top restaurant and unique evenings out within the Wentworth, Windsor, Hampton Court and Heathrow area. Head Chef Simon Bolsover joined the hotel in February 2008 from Linthwaite House. Many of his loyal brigade followed him to Great Fosters and the team's aim is for the Oak Room to be awarded three rosettes. Neville Merrin, who came with Simon and Michael Meally are the hotel's Sous Chefs. They have built a strong stable team who have an excellent working relationship and share a common goal.
