Hi we are getting married in around a months time.

[captains log]

And going on honeymoon to eilat.
Flying from heathrow but we have a gap of 2 days after getting married to flying.
We want to spend the night before we fly at a hotel near heathrow say within a 10 mile radius.
Does anybody know of any really nice hotels (not worried about the cost) that they can reccomend.
Thanks in advance.

If you want somewhere with a bit more character than the big chains can offer, you could try the Harmondsworth Hall guest house. Web site here:

Don't bother checking the Trip Advisor reviews for hotels in Staines. There aren't any really good ones.

Given that you're not just making a brief stop on the way to the airport (i.e. you've got time to explore the local area), your best bet might be Windsor. The Mercure Castle looks ideal:

Alternatively, for a wonderful setting , consider the Oakley Court Hotel:
