Beware - on Saturday nights, some buses only go as far as Hounslow Bus Station.
AVOID THESE BUSES, Hounslow Bus Station is not a nice place to wait even 10 minutes for the next bus to Heathrow.
I think Piccadilly is the closest stop to where you guys will be - this is the timetable:

(nB the bus isn't non-stop between Hounslow and LHR, they just don't show all the stops near the end of the line on the timetable. Harlington Corner is, time-wise, roughly halfway between the last two stops that figure on the timetable).

Tom (and others) .. SUPERB advice ... thanks! SKYLINE it shall be.
So looking at this official timetable it seems every SECOND bus on 'Friday night' (i.e. early am Sat) goes to LHR .. the alternate one goes to only Hounslow as you correctly mention:

I am hopeless at reading timetables but it APPEARS that a 0021 from Piccadilly gets us to Harlington Corner at 1.20am? (0120)
And from that drop off it is a
short walk to Hotel? (Lets pray it is not snowing!)
And I read somewhere the fare is only
a pound or so per person .. seems near impossible to believe for London!
