A historic hotel

Burnham Beeches is an impressive hotel - large sash windows and a pretty white exterior invite you in. Originally built in 1727 as a hunting lodge, affording rest to royal hunting parties in what was once a part of Windsor Great Park, illustrious guests across the centuries include the great English Poet Thomas Gray and the English National Football Team during Euro ’96.
