Cliveden House

A short drive from London and Heathrow, this Natl. Trust cum Hotel is fabulous! It truly can take you back in time to the Astors. With two restaurants on site serving quality food with excellent service you need not, but should visit one of the 3 Michelin star restaurants in nearby Bray. In fact, the Hotel can provide launch service directly to Bray! The rooms and suites remind one of times gone by while providing all the features and accommodations you'd expect. The only gripe is a shortage of Type C USB ports so bring your converters! The spa, pool, gym and boating facilities are wonderful. Shout out to Capt. Mike who runs the Hotel's Thames flotilla and provides probably one of the most unique hotel features available anywhere. Also a shout out to the bartender in the lounge.

Cliveden is a special place where to spend a long weekend o just for a day visit. The several restaurants and bars have lovely food. The staff is attentive and friendly. The House is spectacular. The ground has beautiful walks near the Thames.

An outstanding stay from beginning to end. The setting is spectacular, the house and grounds live up to their reputation entirely, and the whole experience felt effortless. Service was impeccable throughout: warm, discreet and genuinely attentive, with staff who anticipated everything without ever hovering. The food matched it, consistently excellent and beautifully presented. We left already planning a return visit. Highly recommended for a special occasion or simply for a few days away.

Stunning hotel spa and grounds. Staff all really outstanding. Room lovely and spacious. had no air con but it was quite cool so not too bad when we were there. Great to have snacks and drinks available in a pantry too. Restaurant dinner excellent quite pricey. Breakfast excellent.

We occupied 3 rooms at this gorgeous historic property, celebrating a birthday. We were welcomed and efficiently shown around by Rajan. The mansion room (with access to a pantry stocked with complimentary wine/beer/ soft drinks and snacks) was more like a junior suite, with a very comfortable 4-poster bed, a sofa and plenty of space. They kindly gave us a half bottle of LP champagne and chocolates in the room. We used the well equipped spa including a swim in the famour listed outdoor pool. We enjoyed dinner in the main restaurant, the food and service were excellent though the size of the starters was a little disappointing (for example the £26 Scallops consisted of just one scallop!). Breakfast was also excellent, both the buffet and the cooked a la carte items, served by the very charming Arndor. We then had a long scenic walk in Cliveden's national trust grounds, enjoying the Thames, the forest and beautiful gardens. Don't hesitate, book it and have a treat!
