Hampton Court, Windsor Castle, Legoland, Thorpe Park, Wisley Gardens, Ascot racecourse, Savill Gardens. The Runnymede is at the heart of it all. On the river, just 5 minutes from the Magna Carta and JFK Memorials, The Runnymede provides a relaxed, stylish base for visitors keen to explore the local historic, sporting, natural and theme park attractions. Special weekend packages, based on themes such as Legoland, Gardening and Heritage and History are often available.

Actually, the hotel itself is the major attraction. Be pampered in the luxurious spa, as you treat yourself to a facial, manicure or massage. Dip into their 18 metre pool, whirlpool, saunas and steam room. Or exercise in the dance studio, gymnasium or one of the outdoor tennis courts.

The restaurants are another local attraction. Leftbank, their riverside restaurant serves modern European dishes in a contemporary aquatic-themed setting. Charlie Bell's is more casual, with simple, succulent food cooked theatrical-style in an open kitchen.

At the end of the day, the bedrooms are one of their most welcome attractions.There are 180 rooms, including three apartments, many with riverside views.

  SUGGESTIONS  
  To enhance your stay....  
     
  Sightseeing  
 

You can reach the centre of London within 30 minutes. Whether you want to simply soak up the history and visit Big Ben, the Tower of London or shop till you drop in Oxford Street, Covent Garden or Regent Street - the beauty of London is that it’s so easy to get around, by taxi, bus or on the underground. You might like to get a Bird’s Eye view of the capital from the London Eye, visit one of the countless museums or parks, do a sightseeing trip along the river and what better way to unwind afterwards than sit back and enjoy some stunning food at one of the many international restaurants and cafes. For a more relaxed pace of life, you can explore some wonderful towns such as Henley, Marlowe or Cookham along the banks of the Thames, and Windsor, with its mediaeval castle and delightful cobbled streets, all of which are just a short drive away.

 
     
  Theatre  
 

London has the greatest variety of theatre and shows in the world. We can get you tickets for most productions, from the ballet and opera to the top West End musicals. This would make a fabulous night out for one of your evenings, perhaps combined with a sumptuous tea at The Ritz beforehand.

  
     
 
GOLF
 
 
 
Wentworth East Course
  
 

The West is the course that everybody rushes to play, but the East is more enjoyable for the average player. It is also more sandy, intimate and charming. This was the first course Harry Colt built at Wentworth and it was born in 1924, two years earlier than its bigger brother There’s only one par five, but there are five par fours measuring in excess of 400 yards.  It’s the East’s collection of five short holes that stand out; they are simply outstanding par threes.

 
       
 
St George's Hill
  
 
St George's Hill is the prettiest of the many heathland courses on the Surrey/Berkshire sand belt and, in our opinion, one of the very best. In 1911, a local builder came up with an idea to build luxury fairway-side houses and by chance, Harry Colt was the chosen architect. The course opened in 1913 and is considered to be Colt's greatest work. The land sweeps and undulates like a rollercoaster, and the spectacular panorama from the front of the clubhouse, is one of those views that just grabs your attention.
  
       
 
Walton Heath
  
 
Having hosted over 60 major amateur and professional championships in its illustrious history, Walton Heath has been graced by the 1981 Ryder Cup, 5 European Open Tournaments, as well as such prestigious amateur events such as the Senior Open, the English Amateur, the Brabazon Trophy, and the British and English Ladies Amateur. Founded in 1903, The Old Course is one of the finest examples of heathland golf, and is ranked as one of the top 100 courses in the world.
 
       
 
Hindhead
  
 

Hindhead was founded in 1904 and it was the inspiration of a number of golfing enthusiasts.It is set around The Devil's Punchbowl, a large hollow of dry sandy heath to the west of Hindhead and overlooked by Gibbet Hill, the second highest hill in Surrey. The front nine is laid out through these heather strewn Ice Age valleys and the back nine plays on the hillside heathland plateau. The location is not only breathtaking, it’s truly beautiful. Without doubt Hindhead is one of the best courses you’re likely to find in Southern England.

 
       
       
 
OTHER GOLF OPTIONS CLOSE BY
 
       
 
Wentworth West Course
  
 

A name synonymous with golf, Wentworth offers three inland championship golf courses and plays annual host to two of the most important events on the European Tour - the PGA Championship and the World Matchplay. Harry Colt designed both the East Course and West Course in the 1920's and although the East Course gained the early acclaim, the West Course was always considered to be the tougher test and it is this layout that is known and revered throughout the world.

  
       
 
North Hants Golf Club
 
 

North Hants Golf Club is set in idyllic surroundings, with fabulous views across the Hampshire region to soak up along with a course that will challenge you, and ultimately reward you if you play it with discipline, care and to your full potential. It really and truly is an excellent place for any golfer no matter how high or low their handicap.. From its location high up in the countryside, you can enjoy truly exceptional panoramic views and the changes in colours that materialise in front of you as the seasons change.

 
       
 
The Berkshire
 
 
Other than the Berkshire, Sunningdale and Wentworth are the only clubs in the whole of the British Isles that can boast two heathland golf courses positioned in the top 100. Many people say that there is nothing better than a day’s golf amongst the forest, heather and springy turf of the Berkshire. The land was once royal hunting forest and dates back to the reign of Queen Anne. Each hole is played in seclusion, the mature sycamore, birch, chestnut and pine trees providing majestic fairway tunnels.  
       
 
Sunningdale Old Course
 
 

Conveniently located less than thirty miles west of London, Sunningdale Golf Club is blessed with two magnificent golf courses, laid out on glorious pieces of heathland. The Old Course, originally designed by former Open Champion, Willie Park, is the more famous of the two but only gained the name "Old" when the New Course, designed by Harry Colt, was opened in 1923. Both courses wind their way through a sea of heather, gorse and pine, while each hole genuinely boasts its own unique character and charm.

 
       
 
West Hill
 
 

Founded in 1910, West Hill has remained virtually untouched ever since. The course is routed in an out and back fashion across undulating sandy ground. The fairways are lined with pine, birch and of course, tangly heather. Measuring slightly more than 6,350 yards, West Hill is not long by today's standards, but with only two par fives and a par of 69, it represents an enjoyable and testing challenge. If it's charm that you are looking for, then you need look no further than West Hill. This is a truly delightful golf course.
