This is one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed. As a solo traveller, I felt completely safe from the moment I arrived, which allowed me to relax and enjoy every minute of my stay. The staff were exceptional, with impeccable attention to detail that made every part of the experience feel effortless and special. My room was incredibly spacious, beautifully presented, and offered breathtaking views. The terrace was the perfect place to sit with a drink and watch the sunset – a truly unforgettable experience. The house itself is steeped in fascinating history, and being surrounded by such magnificent architecture, artwork and historical treasures made every walk through the property a pleasure. The bed was wonderfully comfortable, dressed in the softest sheets, and I honestly slept better than I have in a long time. The food was delicious, and the massage at the spa was simply divine. Cliveden House is a place of elegance, history and tranquillity. It exceeded every expectation, and I cannot wait to return.

I surprised my wife with a Spa Experience and Afternoon Tea. We were a little bit late arriving so missed our breakfast that was included in the package. Staff were great and made us a bowl of fresh fruit and some pastries with Tea and Coffee. My wife had a treatment and I had a massage. Both amazing! We sat by the pool, I then had a sauna and steam room and a quick swim. More outside pool time in the 30c sunshine! Off to the main house for afternoon tea. We were sat in the corner over looking the garden. Best table by far. A lovely tea selection, lovely sandwiches and cakes. We didn’t want to leave but sadly had to. We will go back! Thank you for a great day, all the staff were amazing and made you feel very spoiled and very welcome 10/10 from both of us.

An excellent stay, although they were preparing for an enormous wedding; everyone seemed attentive to us and went out of their way to help. The food was good (breakfast was excellent), the spa/swiiming pools were incredible, and the rooms were enormous. You pay for what you get, but our special stay was wonderful

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!!
