The Squirrels
Rebuilt on the site of the former Squirrels pub, this Winkfield address now holds two Atelier stays, composed with natural materials and a studio-led eye for atmosphere. Perfect proximity to Ascot Racecourse, being only 4miles away. Select Squirrel 1 or Squirrel 2 to explore each property and check availability.
The larger of the two stays, composed with calm materials and a generous sense of ease. Light and proportion are allowed to do the work, with an interior studio’s attention to quiet detail.
Squirrel 1
A more intimate retreat with the same Atelier restraint. Designed for stillness and clarity, with a softer pace and carefully controlled light.
Squirrel 2
Winkfield sits just outside Ascot, in an affluent corner of Berkshire known for privacy, green space, and easy access. Ascot Racecourse is only minutes away, making The Squirrels an ideal base for race days, weekends, and short stays in the area—quiet when you want it, connected when you need it.

History at The Squirrels
The Squirrels was long known locally as a pub in Winkfield—an inter-war, mock-Tudor building in a part of Berkshire shaped by green space and the seasonal pull of Ascot.
Over time, it fell into disuse and became increasingly dilapidated, with the structure ultimately unsafe. In June 2024, the old building was demolished, closing that chapter of the site’s life. The new structure rises on the same footprint, retaining the scale and presence of what stood here before.
The name remains as a trace of what stood here.
