Only half an hour by train to London Waterloo and sitting on the banks of the River Thames close to the historic town of Windsor, the Runnymede Hotel & Spa welcomes you. Perhaps you've spent the day at nearby Windsor Castle, taking in the sights with your other half and soaking up a slice of English culture as autumn rolls into spring. Take the weight off your feet and relax in one of the 180 guest rooms, including 3 riverside apartments.
The Runnymede's design varies from classic to contemporary, with the individual touches of flair you would expect from one of the UK's largest family-run 4-star hotels. It's a fantastic stop for seeing the sights
, too.
In one direction is Windsor, home to the Royal Family, and Eton, home to the school that taught 18 British Prime Ministers. In the other direction is Hampton Court, home of Henry VIIIth, just a 25 minute drive away.
Need to unwind some more? Relax with a facial, a manicure, reflexology or an Indian head massage in the Runnymede fitness spa. Unwind in their 18 metre pool, whirlpool bath, saunas and eucalyptus steam room. Exercise in their dance studio, gymnasium or outdoor tennis courts, or to put those 
calories right back where they came from, dine at Leftbank, where the fresh food from New Covent Garden, mixed with the innovation of the clever chefs is as stunning as the setting.
For your chance to win a Friday night stay on a Friday for 2 in a double room, plus a yummy breakfast to be taken by 31.8.07, email us here with the subject line RUNNYMEDE. (subject to availability). Sorry, this competition has now closed.

I would love to win a night in the Runnymede Hotel & Spa.
I have stayed only once in a spa hotel on the Sussex coast and the experience was sublime!
I feel I should experience the Runnymede Hotel & Spa - purely for the sake of market research!
