I was looking for accommodations for a couple nights that was close to the Windsor Central rail station as well as Windsor Castle and the Union Inn was perfect. Uber fares ranged from $7-$9, from the Inn to the station, Windsor Castle or the Magna Carta. Let me tell you about the great experience I had at the Inn. I arrived early after arriving on train from London. I arrived several hours before check in but I was met outside by a ”long stay” client who offered me a cup of coffee while I waited. It was not long before the proprietress Tess, came out and let me know I could check in as soon as the housekeeper was finished. I had a wonderful ensuite double room on the second floor above the restaurant and pub. I had planned to spend Wednesday and Thursday in Old Windsor, attend Windsor Castle an Wednesday and Magna Carta on Thursday, however the Castle is closed on Tuesday and Wednesday! I was traveling solo and after a full day I saddled up to the pub bar where I was welcomed by the locals. They advertise a pub style menu, which sounds limited but in reality they had a delightful selection of choices for dinner. A traditional English breakfast is available in the morning and I took advantage of it both days. After a long day in the Castle on Thursday I looked forward to dinner at the Inn and it did not disappoint. The highlight of the evening occurred when I approached a group of locals that included a very attractive woman that strongly resembled an Australian friend of mine. I will include her picture. I hope I do not get in trouble, :) I was fortunate to join them for dinner. (I think I actually invited myself), regardless they were very welcoming and I did not have to spend the evening by myself and regretted that I was leaving in the morning. Fun fact: ask Tess about her modeling career and how Hugh Hefner bought a photograph taken by her uncle who was a noted photographer. Another fun fact; Sir Elton John's house is about a half mile down the road.
