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

Clivedon House is a magical place to visit, from the moment you arrive until you have to sadly leave. There is so much to see and experience and the service is excellent!

We stayed overnight, had treatments at the spa and had dinner in the main restaurant. We’ve stayed many times before. This time our room was tiny and the bathroom had no bath. The spa experience was magic and dinner in the restaurant was very good. When it came time to pay the bill it was quite top heavy this time and there were hundreds and hundreds of pounds added for various service charges which if I’m honest left a bit of a bitter taste. I love the place, the service is good but it’s changed a bit and I felt a bit fleeced.

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!!
