Cliveden House

One of our favourite places Always spot on for service, food atmosphere and style. I relax completely as I turn into the drive. We’re now taking the kids and their kids there.

We recently stayed at Cliveden House and had a truly memorable experience. The setting and history of the house are spectacular, and from arrival we felt warmly welcomed and well looked after. The surprise upgrade on our room was such a thoughtful touch and made our stay feel even more special.We particularly enjoyed the spa – both the indoor and outdoor pools were fantastic, and my full body massage on the water massage table was pure relaxation. The food throughout our stay was delicious, and service in the restaurants and spa kitchen was friendly and professional.Special thanks to Catherine, the Duty Manager, for her attentiveness, as well as the breakfast team, the spa reception team who helped arrange my treatments, and the therapist who carried out my massage – everyone contributed to a really lovely stay.Overall, Cliveden House is a beautiful property in an incredible setting, and we left with wonderful memories and would be very happy to return

We’ve been visiting Cliveden since the early ’90s—our very first stay was our wedding night in the beautiful Chinese Room—so returning for a wet and wintry weekend in January 2026 felt like coming home. Even better, we found the hotel fully restored to the exceptional standard we’ve always loved. Dining was a highlight throughout our stay: both the Cliveden Dining Room and the Astor Grill delivered outstanding meals, and breakfasts—whether in the restaurant or served in our beautifully-furnished room—were consistently delicious. The Residents Bar offered the perfect mix of comfort and elegance, the Spa facilities were superb, and the service was exceptional from start to finish. Special thanks to James and Dennis in the Astor Grill for their warmth and professionalism. Cliveden is truly back to its best, and we’re already planning our next visit.

After reading some reviews , can't deny we weren't a little concerned. Well forget that , we have just had a truly delightful experience. We were given an up grade and had a very warm welcome on arrival .Bubbles cakes and fruit in our room which was lovely . Drinks and lunch in the library bar. Visit to the spa for a swim , I even braved the icy rain for the outdoor hot tub. We went for the 5 course tasting menu. Our waitress was Daniella ( Nicolette) she was both professional and warm . Breakfast was excellent and we had a good stroll around the grounds in the drizzle and mist but hey hoe what people and history has this place seen. I now have to be very kind and get Mr E to organise a return visit for our 50th or even earlier. Can I say a big Thank you to all the staff, you were superb and a credit to the hotel .

Cliveden House ⚜️Member of Relais & Châteaux ☆☆☆☆☆ 5 ☆☆☆☆☆ 🗝🗝-MICHELIN-Key Hotel ☝️National Trust 🏰Grade I listed building Need more? If so, don't forget about the history of the building and its famous guests! The building is magnificent both outside and inside, dotted with antiques. I won't tell you everything about the hotel, because then it wouldn't be interesting to stay there. The welcome, the staff and the gastronomic experience were also perfect. (Traditional Afternoon Tea, Dinner, Buffet Breakfast) The staff was very kind, intelligent and helpful, so it's no wonder I felt very good. I would definitely recommend it to everyone.
