Heathrow is the closest airport and the Travelodge in Slough is ideally placed for both Windsor Castle and Legoland - you're only about 15 mins drive (if that) away from both.

There are also Innkeepers Lodges - one in Slough and one in Old Windsor (Better as rate includes breakfasts), both about the same distance in other directions. The Travelodge is in the Slough Town centre. There is also a Premier Lodge in Slough close to town centre.

However, check out the Legoland website as they do offer packages for the larger hotels like the Marriotts etc. It may or may not work out cheaper. (Probably not, but check anyway!).

Will you be hiring a car? Cos you need to get to Legoland and I am not sure if the Lego Bus will be running at Easter. Will check and come back.

this is the official site, linked to legoland. Took ds3 and dd5 there last year and they loved it to bits.

Yep - stop at the Innkeepers Lodge in Slough and opposite is a bus stop for the 701 and 702 which will take you into Slough town and past Legoland. (Or Travelodge and get the bus from Slough main bus station).

Can't find out about the sole Lego shuttle/bus.

The nearest airport is Heathrow (approx 15 mins by car to slough in good traffic) and Slough would be the closest travelodge. There is one currently being built in Windsor but this won't be open at Easter.

Another hotel to look at would be InnKeepers Lodge Old Windsor (approx 3 miles to legoland and 5 miles to Thorpe Park). I haven't stayed at the hotel but have eaten at the Toby Carvery. Here you would be a couple of miles to Windsor town centre if you wanted to see the castle or do a little shopping.
