Cliveden House

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!

I have stayed at Cliveden House many times over the years, and it remains one of the finest country house hotels in England. There are very few properties that combine history, setting, service, and comfort this well, and Cliveden continues to deliver every time I return. The staff are exceptional and have always been one of the strongest parts of the experience. Service is polished and attentive, but still warm and personal. George Kuldo, the Front of House Manager, deserves particular recognition. He is gracious, highly professional, and has a natural ability to make guests feel genuinely welcome. He is exactly the type of person you want representing a hotel with Cliveden’s reputation and history. The rooms are extremely comfortable and thoughtfully equipped. The grounds are extraordinary, and simply spending time walking the estate is part of what makes a stay here so special. The spa is superb and remains one of my favorite hotel spas. The food is also consistently excellent. I stay at a great many luxury hotels, and Cliveden is one of the few places I return to again and again. The setting is remarkable, but ultimately it is the staff and the consistency of the experience that keep bringing me back. Cliveden remains a very special hotel, and I am already looking forward to my next stay.

Incredible experience from start to finish. I was slightly hesitant after looking at the room prices however if you are at all on the fence, please go for it! It was without doubt the best hotel my wife and I have stayed in together, and that is saying something as we have been lucky to visit a number of 5 star hotels together over the years. We stayed for our wedding anniversary and all the team at Cliveden did their utmost to make the weekend as special as possible. Facilities are lovely, rooms well looked after, comfiest hotel bed we have ever slept in and the staff are incredible. Overall experience as near to perfect as possible.

Such a wonderful return visit to Cliveden House. It really is an incredibly special location for us and was a wonderful stay for my birthday.

A beautiful historical property with an intimate atmosphere and fantastic dining. More importantly, the staff were incredibly polite, friendly, and attentive. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back!
