Cliveden House

There are beautiful hotels, and then there are places that leave you with memories because of the people. Cliveden House is both. The property itself is breathtaking. The house, the gardens, and the grounds feel timeless, and every corner invites you to slow down and enjoy where you are. Before arriving, I wondered whether a property of this caliber would feel comfortable with young children. Traveling with our three and seven year old daughters, I can honestly say it exceeded every expectation. Our girls were welcomed everywhere with genuine warmth, and never once did we feel out of place. That feeling started the moment we arrived thanks to Caroline. She made us feel genuinely welcome, and her care only deepened throughout our stay. She has a rare gift for anticipating what guests need before they ask and creating thoughtful moments that make you feel like you’re staying in someone’s home rather than simply checking into a hotel. That is true hospitality, and Caroline delivers it effortlessly. Joao and Jeffrey at the bar were outstanding. Their recommendations were excellent, and every visit was a pleasure. One moment, in particular, meant a great deal to me. I was alone with our daughters while my wife enjoyed some time at the spa, and without hesitation Joao helped carry our pram down the steps. It was a small gesture that made a big difference, and one that perfectly reflects the culture of care throughout the hotel. Jack and Ian were another highlight of our stay. Every time we walked through the front entrance they greeted our girls with smiles and enthusiasm. Jack had our daughters looking forward to his high fives every day, and he kindly drove us to the Cliveden Park entrance, making it much easier to explore the incredible grounds with young children. Luxury can be created with beautiful buildings and fine furnishings. The feeling you take home comes from the people. Caroline, Joao, Jeffrey, Jack, and Ian made our family feel genuinely cared for, and because of them our stay at Cliveden House became one of the most memorable hotel experiences we’ve ever had. We cannot wait to return.

This is one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed. As a solo traveller, I felt completely safe from the moment I arrived, which allowed me to relax and enjoy every minute of my stay. The staff were exceptional, with impeccable attention to detail that made every part of the experience feel effortless and special. My room was incredibly spacious, beautifully presented, and offered breathtaking views. The terrace was the perfect place to sit with a drink and watch the sunset – a truly unforgettable experience. The house itself is steeped in fascinating history, and being surrounded by such magnificent architecture, artwork and historical treasures made every walk through the property a pleasure. The bed was wonderfully comfortable, dressed in the softest sheets, and I honestly slept better than I have in a long time. The food was delicious, and the massage at the spa was simply divine. Cliveden House is a place of elegance, history and tranquillity. It exceeded every expectation, and I cannot wait to return.

I surprised my wife with a Spa Experience and Afternoon Tea. We were a little bit late arriving so missed our breakfast that was included in the package. Staff were great and made us a bowl of fresh fruit and some pastries with Tea and Coffee. My wife had a treatment and I had a massage. Both amazing! We sat by the pool, I then had a sauna and steam room and a quick swim. More outside pool time in the 30c sunshine! Off to the main house for afternoon tea. We were sat in the corner over looking the garden. Best table by far. A lovely tea selection, lovely sandwiches and cakes. We didn’t want to leave but sadly had to. We will go back! Thank you for a great day, all the staff were amazing and made you feel very spoiled and very welcome 10/10 from both of us.

An excellent stay, although they were preparing for an enormous wedding; everyone seemed attentive to us and went out of their way to help. The food was good (breakfast was excellent), the spa/swiiming pools were incredible, and the rooms were enormous. You pay for what you get, but our special stay was wonderful

Had a day wondering the beautiful grounds of cliveden and finished with afternoon tea for my nans 80th birthday, amazing service everyone acknowledge us and made my nans birthday very special, a special mention to Ben we couldn’t of asked for a better way to celebrate! Highly recommend
