We booked in on the spur of the moment after a grisly week, for two nights. We arrived at about 11pm to find the room rate was quoted net of VAT, and £18 was added for the National Trust. We had to pressgang a waiter for service of coffee and drinks, and were told no biscuits were possible because the... more

My partner and I were expecting to be very impressed by the atmosphere, however upon arrival we weren't exactly blown away - first impressions were not great. The only thing we could say was good was that they parked our car for us - although this was very pointless as we could have done it ourselves. We weren't given any... more

what a place to breakdown! we were on a 2 week boating holiday on the Thames when my boat decided to give up. Luckily we broke down on the banks of the national trust gardens at Cliveden House.

The hotel has... more

We stayed in a room called Henry James and wow the views of the grounds and the Thames was absolutely amazing, the room was beautiful with... more

Just returned from another idyllic break at Cliveden, this time I took my grandmother for her 87th birthday and she had the most wonderful time. She gasped at the grandeur of the building as we drove up the gravel approach, she said she felt like a queen. And the staff treated her like royalty swiftly upgrading her to as suite... more

The hotel and grounds are magnificent and well-appointed, we felt as if we had stepped back in time. The country house is quite large but there is an undeniably warm and welcoming feel to the place. We found the Cliveden staff to be extremely accommodating. We were provided with exemplary service without it being obtrusive -- a balance that is... more
