Cliveden House

The Lord Astor Wine Cellar was a beautiful environment to spend a private dining experience with stunning food and wines, served by a lovely team at Cliveden House. Oli and Xavier were fantastic ensuring we had everything we needed and looking after us for the entire evening. The food was excellent with both meat eaters and vegetarians in the party enjoying a lovely mixture of flavours all accompanied by a flight of well chosen wines.

Wonderful!! My wife and I celebrated our birthdays and wedding anniversary there .. and it was superb. The food was amazing, the wine list extraordinary, and the staff were fabulous.

I took my elderly mum to Cliveden for afternoon tea. She lives locally and has visited a lot over the years. The food was exceptional (plenty of top ups on sandwiches, and delicious scones and cakes) but most of all I can't speak highly enough of the team who looked after us. They made my mum feel really well looked after, it was a very special afternoon. Highly recommend!

Having stayed at chewton glen in august by comparison our stay at cliveden house was a disappointment. Reasons are:- towel rails didn’t work, twin beds and was promised a double, gas fire didn’t work without assistance, having mentioned our 10 year wedding anniversary nothing to mark the occasion, didn’t step foot outside the ground but still charged an extra for the national trust supplement, service extremely slow in the bar. In summary a hotel resting on its laurels!

I’ve stayed in some of the finest hotels in the world, yet my heart always comes back to Cliveden. We stayed with you during one of the most difficult moments of our lives, though we never shared why. My partner had just lost his best friend who was a famous pop star, loved by millions, and his funeral was held nearby. Your team didn’t know, yet somehow provided exactly what we needed: quiet compassion, respect and pure peace. Your driver took my partner to the service and asked no questions. The staff left us undisturbed over a couple of days, the privacy of our suite was impeccable, and that little side entrance led us into the most beautiful haven of calm. Room service was faultless, the doormen kind and considerate, every detail spoke of care and much understanding. Almost a year has passed, but I still think of Cliveden as a safe haven. I remember walking through the rose gardens, the blooms long gone for autumn, when a red robin appeared in our path, it felt meant to be. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for offering such grace without even knowing the story behind our stay. I can only dream of being treated with such quiet dignity and care again. I truly can’t wait to return, hopefully sometime soon.
