Cliveden House

Lovely experience with my family and new grandson we were thoroughly spoilt. Our thanks to the Managers and team that looked after us

We visited for afternoon tea and were very impressed with the whole experience. The staff were all friendly and attentive, and generous with extra sandwiches and drinks refills. They clearly have a high standard of training. Small touches have a big impact, like checking to see if we liked the different tea we ordered , and remembering who each individual coat belongs to from the cloakroom at the end of the meal. The grounds are also phenomenal and worth a few hours to walk around if the weather is nice.

Afternoon tea as a birthday treat

My cousin and I had afternoon tea at Cliveden in the grand room to the left of the reception. We sat just by Lady Astors portrait. The serve from all staff was excellent. They made us both feel very welcome and that nothing was too much trouble. I have eaten afternoon tea at 5 star hotels all over the world and Cliveden did not disappoint. All the food was delicious and we were able to have any extras if required. I will definitely be recommending Cliveden to my friends and look forward to returning again soon.

We spent two nights at Cliveden hotel and Spa for my husband’s 70th birthday. Everything we experienced there was excellent. The staff were attentive and couldn’t do enough for us. Check-in was as easy as it could be and our bags reached the room before we did. Our room was very clean, spacious and comfortable. It included a TV, radio, safe and minibar. The hotel organised a private boat trip on the Thames with a picnic for us. This was fun, entertaining and informative. The picnic food was very high quality. The well-tended gardens and woodlands surrounding the hotel are marvellous and we spent a pleasant morning walking round them. The only meals we ate there were breakfasts and they were excellent, partly waiter served and partly buffet. We also sampled the spa and swimming pools which were good. The stay was expensive, but we felt we got value for money. We will come back as soon as we can. It lived up to its reputation as a top class luxury hotel.
