One of the world's finest luxury hotels, this grand stately home is set in the heart of the Berkshire countryside on an idyllic bend in the River Thames. From the moment you are ushered into the beautiful Great Hall with its grand fireplace, you will be treated with the very highest standards of quality, with excellence in every detail. Cliveden has everything you would expect from a country retreat, and so much more.

Such an amazing experience! We spent the weekend at Cliveden House and absolutely loved it. Our suite was stunning and the service was impeccable throughout our stay. Staying in such a beautiful historic house really feels like stepping into another era, almost like being in a fairy tale! We had the opportunity to try both the grill and the restaurant, and the food was incredible. The staff were knowledgeable, helpful and made the whole experience very special. There is also plenty to explore around the beautiful estate, followed, of course, by a cheeky afternoon tea after a long walk! Definitely recommend a stay if you are celebrating a special occasion, or simply want to treat yourself to a little escape and step into a fairy tale for a weekend.

My wife and I were in Wiltshire and my Daughter + family had just returned from Holiday & she thought it a good idea to meet up at Cliveden. I can safely state the whole experience was simply excellent. We were recently at the Ritz & whilst that also is a wonderful experience, I have to say that during our short stay, Cliveden was very much its equal, in all aspects - truly.

I was revisting Cliveden after an absence of 50 years, when I participated in Stanford-in-Britain's overseas program. Cliveden was my home for six months from January to June, 1970. It was much the same, especially the grounds and beautiful gardens. The servants quarters (where I lived as a student) have been beautifully restored as guest rooms. The tennis courts have been replaced by a beautiful spa. The famous swimming pool is still there (without the duck family that claimed it as their home in 1970). The French Dining Room is as beautiful as ever. The current staff were attentive and bent over backward to make my wife's and my two-day stay delightful, which included a special tour that reviewed Cliveden's history and champagne and chocolates, celebrating our 48th anniversary. Our room, the Princess Augusta suite was lovely and very comfortable. The afternoon tea in the dining room overlooking the parterre was impeccable. Our thanks for making a walk down memory lane special.

Absolutely stunning stay from start to finish. Weekend stay for my wife's 40th. Suite laid out with flowers, balloons and champagne, as requested. Meals, spa and activities all 5 star. Sitting around the pool in the summer sun was a real highlight. Can't recommend enough. Thanks to all staff for making out weekend so special!! ❤️
