We booked an afternoon tea to celebrate our 46th wedding anniversary. The whole experience was outstanding. The food was superb, with excellent attentive service by all. We felt very special to be seated in such a superb dining room overlooking the beautiful gardens. Thank you for making our day so special.

Historic country house in rural setting only a few miles from London. Calm homely atmosphere. Attentive staff always on hand. Superb evening meal in Astor Stables and impressive breakfast in the dining room. Very comfortable bedroom, large bathroom with huge bath. Expensive but excellent value.

Massive thank you in particular to Naresh, Olena, Eliza and Tsveta for being so kind, considerate, and accommodating all day, and for making my birthday feel ao special!

Cliveden is a magical place. I've stayed there several times when visiting from the U.S. and have never been disappointed. This time I came with my new husband and a band of 20 friends to have a "buddymoon." My husband and I stayed in the Lady Astor Suite, which has a massive terrace overlooking the grounds and the most opulent, grand bedroom with an impressive fireplace. But all the rooms are beautiful. We hosted a cocktail party on the first floor terrace, a boating outing on the Thames, and a formal dinner in the French Dining Room. We also took part in falconry and walked for miles on the beautiful grounds. The staff (especially Violette) made sure everything came off perfectly. If there was a problem it was fixed immediately and with no fuss. We enjoyed lazing by the pool and having treatments at the spa. It was the perfect country house party!

Beautiful, actually spectacular location and view. Worth the visit. But avoid the high tea. All the traditional stuff is there, but service is subpar and food ISS average at best. There are a lot of Bette high teas from an overall perspective and definitely from a price perspective

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!!
