Cliveden House - an Iconic Luxury Hotel

Everything! The service was impeccable, the suite was gorgeous, food delicious, walks and spa. Everything was perfect!

Nothing

All around excellent

EVERYTHING! This was definitely a luxury hotel experience. I very much appreciated the historic nature of the hotel and the efforts to preserve the best of it, while ensuring the current experience is luxury. The grounds were a pleasure to ramble around and explore. We were clearly there at the peak of perfection in June - flowers were incredible, and everything was lush and green. There were several wonderful places to explore inside (especially the areas with photos from earlier times), and places available for private events, as well as places to hang out, including the lobby, the guest lounge and many small seatings around the building). And many more places to explore across the property, too numerous to name. My "room" consisted of the bedroom, and a bathroom, both opening off a large entry area that also included a very large, built-in closet. And it had a TUB! While I normally love high floor views, in this case I was enchanted with a ground floor room where my view was of the water tower. The staff was fabulous. Breakfast was terrific and almost eliminated the need to eat lunch. In fact, all the food was excellent ( a good thing as there was little close by if you didn't have a car, though the non-hotel National Trust areas had a couple of snack bar options during the day). We were a group of friends celebrating post-wedding and Cliveden made it easy to do things together and apart. There was falconry, a boat trip, archery and other options that various guests were able to enjoy and always the staff was terrific! This was truly a bucket list experience.

While I had personal reasons I could not stay the whole time planned and was a some level disappointed, at another level it was a good thing, as that time of year was extraordinarily expensive. If I were choosing to go another time I would try to time the trip at a time it is a bit less expensive - understanding it will never be inexpensive (and given the need and cost to keep up a historic building that's understandable).

Beautiful property and the room was very comfortable. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Overall would stay again

Food wasn't particularly good especially given the price point.

Breakfast was quite tasty and the servers were great! The location was very lovely.

Our room had a problem. The air conditioner in the room was making a very loud and caustic noise at certain times. It was weird. It woke me up out of a deep sleep, which startled me.

Mooie locatie, fijne spa en gym, mooi uitzicht in het restaurant , vriendelijk personeel

Voor aankomst heb ik gemaild om te vragen naar laadmogelijkheden voor de auto en voor een exact adres voor de navigatie. Na 3 keer mailen nog geen antwoord. Bij aankomst vertelde de receptionist dat er geen ontbijt op de kamer gebracht kon worden. Dit bleek niet te kloppen (er lag gewoon het gebruikelijke formulier waar de portier me op wees). Ik had een hoekkamer beneden met ramen aan beide kanten. Een kant keek uit op de parking. Niet het uitzicht dat je verwacht als je een hotel in deze categorie op een landgoed boekt ! Bovendien liepen er iedere dag toeristen voorbij dus geen gevoel van privacy en ook onrustig. Ik moest de gordijnen dicht doen als ik me wilde omkleden. Op 1 van de 3 ochtenden stond er ook een groep toeristen voor m'n kamerdeur met een gids die over de historie van het landgoed vertelde. Nog onrustiger. In de badkamer was de afvoer van de wastafel verstopt en er was geen stopcontact voor de haardroger. Ik moest de stekker van de TV eruit trekken om in de kamer m'n haar te drogen. Het restaurant vond ik van matige kwaliteit.

Amazing property in the middle of the forest
