Crown & Cushion in Windsor and Maidenhead

A perfect and memorable non-corporate place to stay in Eton/Windsor. I had an inexpensive small room on the 3rd floor, but it suited my needs and I lacked nothing. What makes it memorable -- beyond it being an ancient building with a lot of personality -- is the friendliness and assistance of staff and the free breakfast. Not just granola and fruit, but a complete, cook-to-order hot breakfast, including a full English breakfast with eggs any way you want them, sausages, ham/bacon, beans, stewed tomatoes and mushrooms. Upon my departure, the breakfast chef arranged for a taxi to take me to the airport. That was just a final touch in a wonderful 2-night stay.

Fabulous food, extremely friendly staff in the dog friendly restaurant. The extra mile is just where they start! Will try their beer garden tomorrow… Going by that impression, I almost regret not having taken a room here - would’ve been a great experience for sure.

Visited on a Thursday lunchtime before getting boat to Windsor races, sat in lovely courtyard garden & had few drinks & paninis + chips which were delicious with plenty of filling. We were staying at travelodge as usual but next time we are going to stay here. Lovely old pub with really nice staff & atmosphere, dont bother with the pretentious Boatman, we walked in & walked out again! The Crown and Cushion is a proper pub🙂

If you are looking for a hotel with the pretension that it is a luxury hotel Crown and Cushion is not for you. But if you want an inn that has character location history and superb service I can highly recommend. The building is over 400 years old. The floors creak, there are steps in the middle of nowhere There is no lift to the rooms. The rooms are large and fine. The location is unbelievable - less than 10 minutes to Windsor Castle yet in quiet Eton. The breakfast is fine. The staff is as helpful as can be. Simply put can highly recommend.

Very quirky creaky hotel but above a pub and an amazing breakfast! Staff absolutely amazing - nothing too much trouble - sorted early car parking out and lovely pint in the beer garden

We come here for lunch most of the time we visit our friend in Windsor and have been coming here for 10 years. I usually enjoy my meal here but this time my fish and chips weren't very nice. The piece of fish itself was nice quality but very small - most of the dish was batter which was rather thick and greasy. Unfortunately the chips weren't very good either - rather greasy. All in all disappointing - the first disappointing meal I have had here. My wife had lasagna which she said was very nice.

Forget Windsor to eat, do yourself a favour walk over the bridge and find this little jewel on Elton High Street. Very reasonably priced food, fast and friendly service. Nice ambience, definitely going to return whenever we’re visiting Windsor.

friendly helpful staff, greeted with a smile. We went in on spec and so glad we did. the food was fantastic and the place spotless. We will definitely be going again!

Overnight stay whilst at a function in Windsor so this is a great location. An old pub, quirky and great for tourists as it is so English and the pub/bar is very old style too. Nice bar staff and the accommodation, catering staff are very good. Room 1 is the closest and is quite big, great bed nice and firm with a small en suite shower. The breakfast was tradition English and was tasty, cleanly cooked and well presented. I have used this pub before and will continue to do so - 100% recommended

Perfect location for Eaton and short walk to Windsor. Very friendly & helpful Free car park during stay Our booking included delicious, substantial breakfast Good value & delicious evening meal Quirky, memorable building, room clean No noise although on main road

found this lovely pub, with gluten free clearly marked on menu. Great atmosphere and friendly staff made it a great visit, and the food tasted great. Hubby had fish and chips and I had a gluten free ham egg and chips, really enjoyed and will certainly return again when in Eaton.

The Crown & Cushion is a lovely pub well placed to explore both Eton & Windsor. We stayed there for 2 nights. Breakfast was plentiful. Our room whilst small, it was ok for the 2 nights. We were made very welcome by all the staff, particularly Graham. Nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend for a short break.

The welcome was excellent . Was given a taste of a beer which I had not tried before, Rebellion beer (a local brewery). It was really nice . Later I went to get another pint and noticed the brewery had another beer with a suggestive next to it. I made a comment re the name and was asked would I like to taste it. The barrel had finished . A few minutes later she came to our table and gave me a tasing glass after changing the barrel. Both beers were really nice and not too expensive . My wife had a nice sandwich. The pub has a few rooms to stay , starting at £150 per night for bed and breakfast. W ill visit again when back in Eton.

A charming authentic pub. Staff are friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere is great and the decor is traditional and quirky. We stayed in one of their guest rooms also, which was clean and comfortable, having everything you need. Yes, it was a room above a pub, and clearly this place isn't going to have a spa and a gym... but if you're looking for a nice place to stay, have a few drinks and something to eat (I only had the breakfast, which was great quality) - This is the place!!

Stayed here for one night as was attending a 50th birthday party at the pub The Watermans Arms which is literally behind this Place. The room was comfortable and clean, they provide a good tea tray and biscuits and 2 bottles of water for the room which is definitely a plus for us. The room was small but perfect for what we needed which was a bed for the night. There was ensuite facilities as well. The breakfast the next morning was the best I've had in a long time. The bacon was just perfection and the milk and orange juice come is fabulous little bottles that look like hip flasks. The staff were so friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely stay here again. Location is perfect for Windsor Castle as its just a 5 minute walk over a picturesque bridge.

I have to say, as a semi-seasones traveller, that this spot is spot on. Graham and the staff were absolutely fantastic. I was solo, over for a half-marathon in Windsor, and it looked a good option in terms of pragmatism. However, the room was bigger than expected, spotless, and comfortable. The bar downstairs was hospitable and inviting. The staff, as I said, were great. They even let me check out late so I could do the run first. No qualms in recommending. Will return if/when in the area / doing the annual run.

spend 2 nights in this hotel pub establishment, and it was kind of what we expect from a Pub with rooms above on second floor. Location and service was fine at all levels, as expected. Room is OK, our room no 2 was very hot though even when weather temps were coming down. These is just no air circulation at all, unless you leave room door open, which is no option. Staff was very friendly, overall an OK visit. Location really superb !!!

Stayed 1 night to visit Windsor castle. Very quirky pub!! If you like character, great. If you like bright and spotlessly clean, no. Very friendly staff. Basic breakfast. Good location in the old part of town and free parking but I need bright and spotless accommodation….

Comfortable bed, lovely clean room and shower room. Friendly staff. Good home cooked food. Will book again.

Great classic food. Delicious with good variety and not too pricey (especially when you consider its proximity to the motorway) The portions were fabulous and by the end we were stuffed! Lovely decor and atmosphere, helpful staff, clean toilets. Perfect pit stop for a long journey

What a FABULOUS find on High Street Eton just over the River Thames. Ellie our server made us feel very very welcome. Our food was absolutely DELICIOUS and my GF option was fabulous. The plates were roasting hot which in turn kept our meal perfectly hot for quite a while. The MENU had a great selection. The pub it's self was quaint and had a large tastefully decorated outdoor eating/smoking area. We will definitely be dropping into the Crown and Cushion if we are LUCKY enough to be returning for another trip to Windsor

Lovely dinner. Nice friendly place. Good menu. Reasonable prices. Very popular place. Outside area very nice.

We came in for lunch. I went for fish and chips which I don't usually do in a pub as quality can be disappointing. The fish here was very nice, the batter light and crisp and the chips were tasty and not greasy. The portion was rather small for the price though.

We booked room 3 at the Crown and Cushion Inn over the internet for our last night in the U.K. We spent most of our time in Wales, but wanted to be close to Heathrow for the last night. What a neat place to stay! If you can get room three, it has an area that sticks out over the High Street which is really unusual. Our deal included free parking in the rear parking lot and an excellent full breakfast. This building is hundreds of years old and incredibly quaint, yet the room had everything you could want, they even have biscuits with the tea and coffee. If you're looking for a chain hotel this isn't it, but if you appreciate history and a great location, look no further!

The service was good but …..If you like barely cooked tasteless roast potatoes with skins on, raw cauliflower and cold veg then this is the place for you!

Hope you’ll take this right way but we were let down by another local pub that wasn’t doing food so we hadn’t booked. We had a wonderfully friendly welcome, offered a choice of tables away from the world crap/cup and ordered food and drinks from the bar. All food was freshly made and was served in a timely fashion given it was to order. Our 5 year old managed to spill salt all over her food and they kindly replaced the dish free of charge. Just great service and I recommend it

Great base to visit Windsor and into Twickenham to watch the England V NZ match. Lovely friendly people, great breakfast and pub meals too. Definitely staying again soon. Bonus is the location and free parking too!!

I went here for lunch with an American friend and we were both appalled by the low standard of the food. Neither of us could eat it, it was such poor quality! As another reviewer says it is a lower standard than a motorway cafe! The food had a dreadful appearance and absolutely no flavour! I asked for it to be discounted from our bill, but the Chef refused, even though he could see it was uneaten! The waitress/barmaid was so embarrassed by the Chef's attitude and discounted our drinks from the bill to compensate us. She was lovely and apologetic, but everything else about this dive was appalling! My advice is to avoid this awful place at all costs! I have given 3 stars for service only because the waitress/barmaid was so nice! She sympathised with us about the low standard of the inedible food!

Mixed review really - positives are that it’s in a great position, staff were friendly, breakfast was good and the bed was comfortable Negatives were the overall look of the room and hallway. Yes it’s an old building and the sloping floors didn’t bother me...

This is a scam ! It is impossible for this place to be named best restaurant in Eton- It is below the level of a motorway restaurant! Just frozen food out of Tesco essential heated up and served- No cook could accept to work for...

Great location to visit Windsor. Accommodation very clean and comfortable and staff friendly. Breakfast very tasty. Just remember this is a very old building so floors are a little uneven and creaky.

Brilliant stay, very welcoming including free car parking a bonus. Brilliant breakfast and good pub grub. Good location for visiting the fantastic location of Windsor

We came for lunch. The menu has changed from last time I came in so I tried the Dirty Burger - a beef burger with cheese and chilli. Like all the meals I have had in here over the years it was excellent. Prices are...

We were only having a light lunch and chose from the sandwich list. Unfortunately there was no brown bread available so had to have ciabatta instead which was very doughy. Not very impressed with the food but service good and good choice of beers.

Good quality food, prime location very near off the motorway, however this may influence their prices as it was a little expensive. We sat outside which had a nice atmosphere, only downside was the drains occasionally producing an unappetising smell!

Unfortunately I never got to have my evening meal as i collapsed going in. The staff where amazing rushing out helping, providing cushions to support my head and calling an ambulance. Thanks everyone particularly the manager and his assistant that stayed with us, till the...

I am pretty happy with this hotel, room is really big, double with en-suite. Staff seem friendly though I haven't gotten to know them much. Breakfast was reasonable. I think the main thing is the location right on the high street, pubs, restaurants and river...

Wasn't really sure about this place - order at the bar - lots of tourists seemed to be confused by this arrangement but the staff was friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and arrived quickly. Get a window table for two and watch the...

The Crown and Cushion has a good little restaurant. I ordered something advertised as the CROWN Burger with bacon, lettuce and some mayo, guacamole and probably several other things that I could not even taste, and that is one of the problems with any burger...

We were fortunate enough to be able to book our favourite room (room 2) for a stay over the Jubilee weekend, and it was a wonderful time from start to finish! It was lovely to see all our friends at the inn once again -...

What a fabulous visit to Windsor! The hotel is perfectly located - for everything! Very impressed with the friendly staff - went over and above - immaculate room - perfectly ironed cotton bed linen - generous breakfast - would definitely recommend ! Many thanks to...

We travelled to Windsor/Eton in order to watch the Army vs Navy rugby match at Twickenham Stadium. The room was clean and presentable. The property is quaint and quirky being an old pub with olde worlde charm. Breakfast included was good, a full English breakfast...

What a lovely bunch of staff. Very welcoming made me feel at home. Dogs are welcome food is yummy. High recommended if visiting windsor and eton. Reece served me most of the time such a lovely young man along with kofta and gino

All locals in this cozy friendly pub with tastey food. Had a great meal served cheerfully. Nice menu and atmosphere. Sell tshirts!

Didn't actually stay at the Crown and Cushion, but just popped in for some lunch while we were in Windsor today. And it was really good! My wife had the Falafel & Guacamole salad, and I had the Malaysian Chicken. Both were excellent - tasty,...

I don't usually have fish and chips in a pub but since I have never had a bad meal here I thought I would give it a go and I wasn't disappointed. I had a good sized piece of bright white very fresh cod with...

I can't praise this place enough. A lovely pub with a genuine welcome. Rhys looked after us when we arrived and helped us get parked - nothing was too much trouble and we really appreciated it. Our room was very comfortable and absolutely spotless. Breakfast...

Lovely welcome, fabulous location, large clean room, good snack lunch and freshly cooked breakfast so all in all a great stay. Only 4 stars because the place could do with a refurb. Really lovely staff made the visit.

I had the chilli with jacket potato My husband had a veggie meal Both were very nice, very tasty Good prices Young man behind bar was friendly and helpful Good experience

Once Canada became ‘green listed’ for travel to the UK, we couldn’t wait to make a quick day trip to Eton and pop in to the Crown & Cushion. While the world may have changed, the Crown & Cushion remains timeless with it’s welcoming pub,...

We stayed here for 2 nights in a double room. The hotel is full of character and the staff are amazing, they couldn’t help enough. Great breakfast too. Would definitely come again. It’s also really close to everything.

First time stay in Windsor/Eton. Friendly , welcoming staff - clean and comfortable rooms. Amazing breakfast and good evening meals - can't recommend highly enough. Car park at rear easily found and beer a garden. Short walk over the bridge into Windsor and castle visit.

Excellent central pub to stay overnight to visit Eton and Windsor. Close by to Windsor Castle, Eton College , shops, and the pub serves up amazing food and drinks. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. I would totally recommend staying here.

We had a very pleasant stay here. The location is perfect, a few minutes walk to the centre of Windsor. We had a large en-suite room with a very comfortable bed, a very nice breakfast and the free parking is a bonus. The staff are...

I haven't been in here for ages due to Lockdown and so decided to give it a go for a full meal. We all had their steak and Guinness pie served with mashed potatoes and peas. The pie was particularly good with thin pastry all...

Stayed overnight to visit local attractions, free car park at the rear of the hotel was most welcome. We arrived early, but could leave car whilst visiting the area, note you must leave the carpark when checking out. The pub has been an inn since...

Stayed here after going to the golf at Wentworth. Very friendly staff, comfortable surroundings. Rooms very comfortable with everything you could need.

I stayed overnight here and for the price can't really fault it. Yes it's quirky (but it's over 400 years old and that adds character), yes it can be noisy (but they can't control the local residents or the Heathrow flight path, even the Queen...

We loved staying here - everything from the warm welcome we received when we first arrived, to the comfort of our room and the lovely breakfast (and free parking). Really great value for money and great staff in such a prestigious location, despite the room...

What a wonderful little place to stay, so full of character, lovely staff and right in the heart of things. Breakfast and parking included which adds to the great value. Shout out to Reece, Alfie, Kayleigh and the lady on the bar on Monday night....

We stayed for 2 nights in Room 4. Which is a smallish double with ensuite. The room was at the back of the property and had a very comfortable double be with very nice bedding. The ensuite looked pretty new and had a good size...

Very friendly B&B breakfast was excellent and great that parking was included. Nice beer garden to sit out in to have a drink. Great location

Popped in just for drinks. Good ales on offer from local brewery in Marlow. We sat outside and had our drinks. They also have a small outside ladies toilet and a covered outside area with cushions. Clean toilets.

We stayed for 3 nights in this quirky hotel. The first thing to say is that the staff were brilliant. The rooms were very comfortable. I say rooms because we stayed in two having had the fire alarm malfunction on the 2nd night. These things...

My husband,myself and grandson stayed here for six nights on a visit to catch up with family in Windsor. On arrival we were shown where to park round the back of the hotel (onsite parking is rare in this area). We were then shown our...

Booked a room last minute. Spacious, clean, comfortable room. Breakfast was delicious. 5 min walk to WindsorCastle. Lovely beer garden. Highly recommended.

A great stay. Lovely food But most importantly truly wonderful and friendly staff. Will definitely return in the future. Plus it’s in a great location.

Visited today excellent service, really friendly and helpful staff. Food was fantastic and plenty of it. Out side garden if hot

We hadn't booked anywhere and were tight for time but were accommodated as a walk in. The food arrived super quick, was tasty and reasonably priced. The staff were busy but very responsive. A great pub

Fab service, really chilled atmosphere and a great relief to find somewhere accommodating with a nice vibe that accepts walk ins!

Whenever in Windsor we always try to pop into this lovely pub in Eton.Both food & drink is always very good .Great prices,good size portions of food at really good prices and the staff are always very polite.Keep up the good work.

Spent Saturday night on a warm summer’s evening under the shelter whilst it rained, so was perfect! Reasonably priced beer and wine and great pub grub!

What a great find. Stumbled across this pub popped in for a drink. Then saw the amazing food others had ordered. We wanted in on it as looked great. Huge portions and great price. Filled us up after a long morning walking around.

Only popped in for a drink mid afternoon. Felt safe during Covid-19 very clean, friendly staff.only place I have visited so far that has foot Mechanism to open toilet doors without using yours hands. Well done.

Eat at the crown and Cushion today. The food was first class but did not see one table cleared sprayed clean after being cleared for next guest outside. Inside there was a queuing system.

This pub with food is very popular with the locals. With Coronavirus still around, everyone was asked to sit, eat/drink, socialise in the outside part of the pub. Friendly service from the staff too. Fish (fish and chips) was humongous and delicious although the chips...

Three of us visited on the 7th of March for lunch. This was our second time here ear and we were adamant we were going to return! As usual the pub had a great atmosphere, a warm welcome and the service was spot on! I...

Unpretentious pub with quirky comfortable rooms. Onl ate at lunchtime but perfectly acceptable pub grub. Big bonus if you are staying in Eton/Windsor is they have their own car park. A definite plus

Visited Crown & Cushion on a very miserable wet day - the pub was cosy and warm, staff were friendly and helpful. The menu is pretty standard pub fare, which is great if you're a tourist looking for a English Pub experience. But it was...

If you visit Windsor, or just dropping the boys off at Eton college (!), this excellent pub is worth the walk across the bridge into Eton High Street. Great pub menu, and drinks and food are competitively priced. Cosy atmosphere. Friendly staff. I highly recommend...

tucked in corner in eton this lovely pub serves really good food and if you plan to stay in windsor this pub offers accomodation with parking!!

Приятное атмосферное местечко. Посетили с удовольствием, посетители в основном из местных, для меня показатель:)

I came across this place by chance when we were trying to find somewhere for lunch and what a perfect find it was. We ordered halloumi ciabattas with chips and the food was served super fast and was very reasonably priced.

Great pub with very friendly and welcoming pub. It’s a must visit for a trip to Eton Very cosy and good range of drinks

I arrived at the pub to find a lesser menu than last time and asked why, they had said they've changed hands. However, the food was very good and arrived very quickly. I ordered the fried chicken bloomer and my boyfriend ordered the sausage and...

On Eton High St, 2 minutes from footbridge into Windsor. Easy to access all that Windsor & Eton offer. Room was large clean and generally comfortable. Breakfast was ok but nothing special. It's an old building but in decent condition. Great advantage is free car...

We were looking for somewhere to have lunch but had our two dogs with us. We were turned away from several other places in Windsor before we were warmly welcomed at The Crown and Cushion. We had a wonderful lunch, VERY reasonably priced, super friendly...

The pub has darts, good beer and alcohol selection. Super friendly efficient staff. Customers seemed very friendly. Warm and comfortable. Tables, and bar seating. Serves food too but we didn’t order food from the bar.
