Hotel in Bracknell

 

Hotel in Bracknell

For this entire year, I have been locked up in my home due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It has been a rather monotonous time and when I say this, I believe I am speaking for a majority of people out there. Anyways, after the situation became somewhat normal and the lockdown was lifted, my husband and I decided to go on a holiday. And god knows that it was the need of the hour.

My husband decided to go to Bracknell, a town and civil parish in Berkshire, England. It’s a beautiful town, dwelling in the lap of nature and is surrounded on the east and south by Swinley Woods and Crowthorne Woods. Bracknell may be best known for being a post World War II New Town but its history stretches back to prehistoric times. The oldest ancient monument in Bracknell is a Bronze Age burial mound at Bill Hill, situated near Downshire Way and Rectory Lane.

I wanted our holiday to be perfect and that’s why I wanted to find just the perfect hotel to stay at. And I did find us one the best and top rated hotels in Bracknell. Our experience at the hotel was splendid. The service of the hotel was very impressive. The hotel staff was very polite and humble. Rooms were very tastefully decorated. Food was exquisite and the hotel was centrally located.

The hotel had well established and high speed internet connection and it had easy access to various modes of transportation. The location of the hotel was very convenient. There are a number of places to visit in Bracknell. And our hotel made all the arrangements for us to visit around and enjoy the scenic beauty of the town.

Best places to visit when in Bracknell

1. Lily Hill Park

A Green Flag Park in 56 acres to the northeast of Bracknell, Lily Hill Park is a former country estate with restored Victorian landscaping.

In this space are some English oaks up to 500 years old from those times.

Rambling through Lily Hill Park you’ll also encounter a community orchard, yew walk, Edwardian water garden, a pond with boardwalk and Lily Hill House, which is now used as private office space.

2. The Look Out Discovery Centre

In the south of the town, on the cusp of the 2,500-acre Swinley Forest, the Look Out Discovery Centre is a hands-on science attraction for kids.

There are more than 90 activities to take part in, diving into topics like Light and Colour, Woodland and Water, Body and Perception, Forces and Movement.

3. Stanlake Park Wine Estate

Berkshire’s largest vineyard is about ten minutes from Bracknell town centre, outside the village of Twyford.

The winery was born in 1979 but is on an historic estate around a beautiful 16th-century Elizabethan manor house.

Growing in Stanlake Park’s 25 acres are more than 10 grape varieties, as you’ll discover on a tour.

These visits are designed to be fun and down-to-earth, normally taking place on a weekend.

4. Swinley Forest

Also a remnant of the Windsor Forest, this massive tract of woodland marks Bracknell’s southern boundary.

The Swinley Forest is now mostly a modern Scots pine plantation and is still managed in the hands of the Crown Estate.

The woodland encompasses gently rolling hills, with a few man-made earthwork mounds that go back to training grounds built just before the Napoleonic Wars.

5. Go Ape Bracknell

The towering pines in the Swinley Forest are just right for a high ropes course, built by the much-loved Go Ape brand.

The main “Tree Top Adventure” course has been designed to test stamina and skill, but also endurance as you may need up to three hours to complete it.

Some of the toughest challenges are the Swinley Swing and Pendulum Pass bridges, where you’ll have to shimmy sideways over a 13-metre drop.
