Standing on chalk cliffs that give this historic property its name, Cliveden rests amid a magnificent estate of gardens and woodlands in England. 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.

Just returned from a very relaxing stay at the Cliveden House. Everything about this place is beautiful and the staff are wonderful. We had a friendly welcome and check -in was speedy. John in particular, who helped us with our bags, was so kind. The history and architecture is simply stunning. The suite we stayed in was exceptional as was the food (fantastic breakfast). We swam in the heated outdoor pool which was a treat and also the indoor is great too, but didn’t unfortunately have time for a Spa treatment. I loved walking around the gardens and there is a lovely garden centre within the grounds too. I couldn’t fault this place and we will return soon hopefully.

for that special occasion the afternoon tea at cliveden cannot be beaten...my wife has a birthday shortly after the date of our anniversary so we have visited cliveden for the past few years to celebrate . Their afternoon teas are excellent and the care and attention from staff is first class.

Today we were very disappointed. We paid £700 for two of us to visit Cliveden House spa. Sadly the price reflected the main hotel’s location. The rest did not! Service and food at the spa were poor. Choice of lunch for a 5 star plus hotel included a jacket potato or sandwich. Even with hardly anyone there we had to go to the counter to order our food. The person serving was curt to say the least - smiles also not on the menu! There were no loungers free by the pool until Late afternoon. Our treatments however were both excellent Amber provided a fantastic facial and my daughter’s body treatment was also good. Even so that still meant a huge cost left for very little No one showed us around when we first arrived and the whole day just felt lacking atmosphere and service We had to park around the back as if we worked there. Gates did not open on arrival as meant to do All in all not good value for money and service was very poor

My favorite place to return every time I am in the UK. Staff are truly amazing. The spa is relaxing. The rooms are luxurious and the grounds are breathtaking. I have stayed here many times and everyone that knows me has heard how much I love Cliveden. It is the one place that allows me to relax and prepare for the long flight home. London is one of my most favorite cities to go each year, but staying at Cliveden at the end of the trip is the real highlight. It always gives me something to look forward to. I schedule my stay there before I purchase plane tickets, as I fear it will be fully booked when it is time to fly home.

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!!
