England's Most Glamorous Country House

“We had our first afternoon tea as a couple with our baby, and it was honestly one of the loveliest experiences we’ve had as a family. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt calm, elegant, and welcoming—not at all intimidating, which we’d secretly worried about bringing a baby along. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, making us feel comfortable and never rushed, even when we needed a moment to settle the little one.”

“My wife and I have made it an annual tradition to come to Cliveden pre Christmas, however will not be returning after our experience in late 2025. This year the service has deteriorated quite badly. Firstly when we turned up there was nobody to greet us or help with bags or anything… not what you expect at a five star hotel charging a considerable amount per night. That was not the worst of it though. My wife asked to have a £100 voucher removed from the bill and the front desk staff convincingly told us it was included. After we got home we realised it hadn’t been removed and after several very time consuming emails back and forth this has now been sorted. They however extremely rudely (and I’m not sure if even legally) charged my card for a £20 facemask that apparently we used in our room (we didn’t). They just sent through a note telling us that they have charged us this without any sort of question and just took the money. We have spent weeks emailing to get this refunded and still no luck, so effectively they have stolen £20. Dinner service was ok, although it’s now extremely overpriced for what it is. We won’t be returning again next year after having all the issues and been charged for something we did not use. Incredibly petty after an extremely expensive night stay as it is.”

“I stayed at Cliveden House some time ago and had an exceptional experience. This iconic historic hotel offers a calm elegant atmosphere with breathtaking surroundings. The rooms are luxurious, the service is impeccable, and every detail reflects classic British refinement. It’s a perfect place to relax and enjoy true five-star heritage luxury Highly memorable stay”

“The most stunning place I have had the pleasure of staying at. Everything is 5 star here. The ground and views are incredible. Staff are kind and attentive. Could not find a fault, will return again and again.”

“Went to see Cliveden as part of the #national trust but got there at the wrong time. It is only open to the public national trust members/visitors between 11 and 1. Met the most amazing gentleman who told me I couldn’t enter unless staying in the hotel, using the restaurant or staying for afternoon tea. Did get the chance to have tea though, absolutely stunning setting with so much class. I’ll time in better next time. The grounds were amazing, but vast. Enjoyed the talk on the patio for a little bit. Enjoyed the maze and waterfalls. It is a beautiful park.”
