An amazing venue.the main house has a historical significance. The grounds are magnificent and the restaurant and the food was excellent.

Bijan Young

Space. Gardens and walks . Rooms and wonderful ‘tainted’ history. Gorgeous building and good service . Highest quality food and drinks. Expensive but perfect for that special occasion .

Iain Cottingham

Lots of different bits of garden to explore from the water gardens , the front lawn and walking along the Thames .

Ben Finlay

For very special occasions . Excellent team, good range of lounge/grill/fine dining, splendid gardens and woodland, super indoor and outdoor spa .

Beautiful grand country house and gardens that are worth splurging on to stay at especially if you can get the 3 nights for 2 deals they offer. Restaurant is a let down as food is boring and pricey .

The French dining room at Cliveden House was used in Sherlock Holmes (2009) as Irene Adler's room in The Grand Hotel , where Holmes is drugged and handcuffed naked to the bed.

Mariam Jensen

Beautiful grounds, rooms, and fab service! The food for room service was also very good.

Huge café , lots of open space for picnics , great views . The usual National Trust vibe.

The taster menu is always great and they will swap out plates should the whole menu not appeal. Drinks are super expensive but wine option with taster menu is good value - Bijan Young
