We had Sunday lunch at the Cliveden and it was magical. The staff were incredible, especially Daniela and our waiter with the super cool orange glasses. My sunday roast was truly exceptional, and my husband was not really surprised that my plate was clean at the end of the meal. Likewise, his choice of the mac and cheese and vegetable dish was delicious. Our salads might have been the best salad we have ever eaten. Everything was fresh and seasoned to perfection. I talked to the host briefly, (Dante?) and he was so wonderful. Alas when we left, he was in a meeting, but I would have loved to have heard more about Cliveden's history, but I appreciated the "help" he gave me in my research! I would love to return some day!

I visited Cliveden with my family of four, and it was truly the highlight of our European tour. We chose to stay in the main house to fully experience the property's rich history, and it exceeded every expectation. The staff was exceptionally kind, welcoming, and accommodating throughout our stay. The spa was outstanding, and the pool setting was absolutely gorgeous. We spent hours exploring the extensive grounds, admiring the exquisitely maintained gardens, and even rented rowboats on the Thames—an unforgettable experience. What makes Cliveden so special is its remarkable blend of modern luxury and fascinating history. Walking through the estate, you can't help but imagine the elegant lives of those who once called it home. Every detail reflects both grandeur and comfort. The food was beyond delicious, with every meal feeling like a special occasion. For anyone wanting to experience the beauty, sophistication, and lifestyle of a grand English country estate, Cliveden is simply unmatched. It offers a rare glimpse into how the privileged lived a century ago, while providing all the comforts of a world-class luxury hotel today. - Astor relative
