Cliveden House

Visited the spa with my partner to celebrate my birthday and I cannot speak highly enough of the whole day. Wonderful location, brilliant set up, and truly great staff. Massive thank you in particular to Naresh, Olena, Eliza and Tsveta for being so kind, considerate, and accommodating all day, and for making my birthday feel ao special!

Cliveden is a magical place. I've stayed there several times when visiting from the U.S. and have never been disappointed. This time I came with my new husband and a band of 20 friends to have a "buddymoon." My husband and I stayed in the Lady Astor Suite, which has a massive terrace overlooking the grounds and the most opulent, grand bedroom with an impressive fireplace. But all the rooms are beautiful. We hosted a cocktail party on the first floor terrace, a boating outing on the Thames, and a formal dinner in the French Dining Room. We also took part in falconry and walked for miles on the beautiful grounds. The staff (especially Violette) made sure everything came off perfectly. If there was a problem it was fixed immediately and with no fuss. We enjoyed lazing by the pool and having treatments at the spa. It was the perfect country house party!

Beautiful, actually spectacular location and view. Worth the visit. But avoid the high tea. All the traditional stuff is there, but service is subpar and food ISS average at best. There are a lot of Bette high teas from an overall perspective and definitely from a price perspective

We had been led to believe this hotel was ‘out of this world’ so our expectations were really high especially as we had previously been to Chewton Glen- a sister hotel which was superb. So we were disappointed at the hotel- very good and ornate- but just not welcoming. Our room was so bad we insisted it was changed. The manager was good and helpful and was able to swap things around for us and we got a very nice room. Breakfast was ok but no more than average really not special. The grounds: again we were expecting something fantastic and again they were not that special. Lovely views from the terrace but having had dry weather the grass was brown, surely they would water at least this famous part. We started to walk down to the river boathouse and cottage but it became so steep and difficult to navigate we decided not to go. We did drive down to the river and indeed it was very pleasant. We came to realise this is a National Trust property and the gardens were run by them and 300 volunteers, so the standards were not one of a world class luxury hotel. As our one night stay cost a four figure sum, including evening meal, we were disappointed. I really hope others find it so much more inspiring than we did. David & Trish

We had a wonderful experience at Cliveden House. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and looked after us with warmth and professionalism. The food was outstanding—beautifully presented and full of flavor. The drinks menu was equally impressive, with expertly crafted cocktails and a fantastic wine selection. The grounds are simply breathtaking. Strolling through the gardens and enjoying the views over the Thames made the visit even more special. Whether for a meal, drinks, or a full stay, Cliveden delivers a truly memorable experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food, impeccable service, and a setting that feels like something out of a classic English novel.
