Cliveden House ⚜️Member of Relais & Châteaux ☆☆☆☆☆ 5 ☆☆☆☆☆ 🗝🗝-MICHELIN-Key Hotel ☝️National Trust 🏰Grade I listed building Need more? If so, don't forget about the history of the building and its famous guests! The building is magnificent both outside and inside, dotted with antiques. I won't tell you everything about the hotel, because then it wouldn't be interesting to stay there. The welcome, the staff and the gastronomic experience were also perfect. (Traditional Afternoon Tea, Dinner, Buffet Breakfast) The staff was very kind, intelligent and helpful, so it's no wonder I felt very good. I would definitely recommend it to everyone.

This was our second time at Cliveden and the service, surroundings and food remain outstanding. We have yet to surpass the experience we have here anywhere else. We had a wonderful dinner in the French dining room courtesy of Aston Martin and had opted to book ourselves in for the night and breakfast. Our room was Pearson, it was at the top of the building as one of their more standard rooms. However, there is nothing standard about it. The bed was huge, the room was beautifully decorated and there was plenty of space for our belongings. The bathroom couldn't have been better kitted out and the towels were thick and fluffy! Breakfast was delicious and there is so much choice. A special mention must go to Ben for his friendly nature and great service, it really does make all the difference. We had such a great time we are going back today!

We had a fantastic stay at Cliveden to celebrate my husband’s 40th birthday. The hotel itself was beautiful, we loved seeing all the rooms. We loved that it has a small number of rooms so it felt very personable. The hotel Upgraded us and there was a small bottle of champagne in the room - much appreciated as it was such a special occasion! We had a superb dinner, the tasting menu with flight of wine! Shout out to Christoff the new sommelier who was fantastic company and made great recommendations! Can’t wait to return!

Under new management and it didn’t feel as top end as it has other years. The furniture and decor seemed very tired. The food nowhere near as good. Service lacking in areas. Band not as good. Generally in need of a refurbishment.

A third/fourth time return stay for us and a convalescence four night break following shocking flu that ruined Christmas and the New Year. What a good idea this was!! Immediately, we felt back at [very posh] home in the House and our Buckingham Suite overlooking the magnificent Parterre view was luxurious and cosy with its fire Wonderful long wintry walks in the magnificent extensive grounds bitter cold but crystal blue sky and sunshine Very high quality food at all locations and good variety for four breakfasts, lunches and dinners Lots of wonderful recuperative time at the Spa, facilities and pools, inside and outside And so relaxing, just to switch off and spend time in the luxurious moments. Delighted it did the trick and we literally left feeling restored and fully back in the game All staff were excellent and service quality/ethic here is the highest, but a special thank you and shout out to Tania in the Spa whose massage was one of the best we've ever had and to Front of House Manager, Caroline, whose commitment to service and ensuring every guest's request was satisfied, was impeccable; world class. We'll no doubt be back

We have been to Cliveden on many occasions now, even for my husband's 50th birthday celebration. It is a perfect place for romance or just chilling out. I recommend it to all of my friends. Perfect food, wonderful staff and superb rooms. We just love it!!
