What guests think

At Cliveden House - an Iconic Luxury Hotel, guests praise the historic estate, idyllic setting, and standout staff, enjoying the spa, pools, and expansive gardens, though public areas can feel busy with day visitors or events.

Rooms are often spacious, characterful, and comfortable, though some layouts and fittings feel dated or impractical. Food and breakfast draw frequent praise, but a few guests found dinner underwhelming or casual venues expensive, and overall pricing can feel high. Best for travelers who prioritize character and setting over cutting edge modernity.

Absolutely brilliant location - the staff are excellent and the setting idyllic. Everything from the tour of the house to the boat trip along the river was excellent.

Staying at the iconic Cliveden house was wonderful and staff & service were fantastic. We enjoyed the spa and swimming in the famous pool BUT we were rather underwhelmed by our dinner. I ordered sole and this was decidedly average especially given the prices. Breakfast was lovely though!

Beautiful hotel with amazing grounds, huge room and lots of luxurious touches. The beds were comfortable and the big round bath was something else. Food was excellent and the staff were friendly and professional. The only negatives were when the corporate side of things disturbed the other guests - the braying sales teams taking over the breakfast room with their luggage wasn't ideal, nor the loud wedding planning meeting while we were relaxing in the residents’ lounge. I’m sure there is enough space to host them in other areas.

It is a beautiful grand building set in lovely and vast grounds - that certainly did not disappoint. Room was not as stunning and there were not many toiletries such as toothbrushes etc. The bath was a deeply sunken design and would be very awkward for many people to shower in and could be a safety hazard. Our biggest disappointment was the breakfast - the service here did not in any way reflect the price we had paid. Had better service in 3 star properties so we came away pretty unhappy. It just was not the efficient and polished experience one would expect from such a property.

Excellent staff and service in historic country house with fantastic grounds managed by the National Trust. As might be expected in a very old building some of the fittings were a little tired for example the plug in bathroom washbasin didn't work. The fine dining restaurant was very good the casual dining restaurant (Astor) was OK but expensive Fish & Chips £26 Burger £26 and glass of wine £24.

What an amazing hotel and service! We have been to Cliveden House before - for afternoon tea, for dinner, and just to visit the grounds. But this time we decided to treat ourselves and booked a Club Room for an overnight stay, as it was our anniversary. But what an amazing surprise - we got upgraded to a Junior Suite, got a bottle of prosecco, a piece of cake and a hand-written greeting card! The suite we were given was Sutherland, which is absolutely gorgeous - with an enormous working fireplace and a humongous bed made us feel like royalty. Big thanks to Cliveden and hotel manager Jordan for making our stay so special.

An experience of a lifetime if you like old English country living. Not as comfortable as a new 5 star Hotel, but is part of the charm. Every thing as good as expected and more. Amazing location, great service and very helpful staff. Only disappointment the English weather; four season in one day.

Amazing property and friendly staff. Ate in the Astor grill which was good but service and menu could be improved. Some items with meat/fish in their description listed as vegetarian, which other seemingly vegetarian items like a beetroot ravioli not marked as vegetarian and the waiting staff were equally confused about it. VIP amenity of a bottle of very nice English Sparkling Wine was lovely. No Gold member room upgrade mentioned, if not possible would be good to let the guest know, although there was room availability that evening on the website.

Cliveden House was the most beautiful and luxurious hotel I have ever stayed in. From the amazing service, beautiful property and grounds, excellent food, and fine bottle of champagne on ice waiting for us in the room to begin celebrating our anniversary, everything was top notch. We had a wonderful visit.
