I had a spa evening and floating sound healing session. It was amazing. From the moment I arrived i felt welcomed. The staff were friendly. The changing rooms were spotless and there were lots of clean towels available. Each locker had a robe, flip flops and a towel. There were private changing areas in the changing room too. The indoor pool area also had an infra red sauna and steam room and jacuzzi. There was also lots of water to drink. The relaxation area was lovely too. The outdoor pool area had lots of sun loungers available. After my spa session I joined the group for the floating sound healing. It was absolutely amazing and something that's been on my bucket list for ages. I have never felt so relaxed. I highly recommend visiting. Next time I will have afternoon tea too.

Can’t recommend the floating sound bath at the Spa enough ! Such a relaxing premium and uplifting experience in the most stunning of settings.

Afternoon tea is great for a very special occasion. We had some issues with our grandchildren but the staff!s recovery of the situation was immense. That earned the 5 star review.

There are beautiful hotels, and then there are places that leave you with memories because of the people. Cliveden House is both. The property itself is breathtaking. The house, the gardens, and the grounds feel timeless, and every corner invites you to slow down and enjoy where you are. Before arriving, I wondered whether a property of this caliber would feel comfortable with young children. Traveling with our three and seven year old daughters, I can honestly say it exceeded every expectation. Our girls were welcomed everywhere with genuine warmth, and never once did we feel out of place. That feeling started the moment we arrived thanks to Caroline. She made us feel genuinely welcome, and her care only deepened throughout our stay. She has a rare gift for anticipating what guests need before they ask and creating thoughtful moments that make you feel like you’re staying in someone’s home rather than simply checking into a hotel. That is true hospitality, and Caroline delivers it effortlessly. Joao and Jeffrey at the bar were outstanding. Their recommendations were excellent, and every visit was a pleasure. One moment, in particular, meant a great deal to me. I was alone with our daughters while my wife enjoyed some time at the spa, and without hesitation Joao helped carry our pram down the steps. It was a small gesture that made a big difference, and one that perfectly reflects the culture of care throughout the hotel. Jack and Ian were another highlight of our stay. Every time we walked through the front entrance they greeted our girls with smiles and enthusiasm. Jack had our daughters looking forward to his high fives every day, and he kindly drove us to the Cliveden Park entrance, making it much easier to explore the incredible grounds with young children. Luxury can be created with beautiful buildings and fine furnishings. The feeling you take home comes from the people. Caroline, Joao, Jeffrey, Jack, and Ian made our family feel genuinely cared for, and because of them our stay at Cliveden House became one of the most memorable hotel experiences we’ve ever had. We cannot wait to return.

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!!
