Weekend Microcations Near London at The Fox at Hurley

You work hard all week in central London; you deserve a break where the air is fresh, the river glistens and every detail is taken care of. The Fox at Hurley — with the Hurley Village Cafe next door — is your sanctuary: a lovingly restored boutique bed and breakfast in the quiet Thames-side village of Hurley. Hop on the Elizabeth Line at Paddington and arrive at Maidenhead in as little as 18 minutes (typical journeys around 38 minutes). From the station it’s just a 7 km taxi ride to our door. Prefer to drive? We offer free on-site parking and EV charging points. In under an hour you can swap traffic and concrete for rolling fields, waterside strolls and the deep comfort of our king-sized beds.

Wake to birdsong, tuck into a locally baked and sourced breakfast, then spend the day exploring at your own pace before heading home refreshed and ready for the week.
