Reviews Summary
This summary was created by AI, based on recent reviews.
Powered by AI
Cliveden House stands out for its grandeur and historic charm, making guests feel as if they're staying in a stately home. The hotel's cleanliness is impeccable, with travelers consistently lauding the pristine rooms and grounds. While the rooms are spacious and luxuriously appointed with historic touches and scenic views, some guests have pointed out occasional maintenance issues. The amenities, including a luxury spa and stunning gardens, earn rave reviews, especially for the afternoon teas overlooking the Thames. Although the staff generally receives praise for their attentiveness, a few guests have experienced delays. Despite this, some visitors feel the cost does not equate to the value received.

Cliveden is so impressive as you drive up to the entrance. We were warmly welcomed and checked in, then escorted to our room (Dumont). Our room was spacious and very clean. The bed was very comfortable.

I enjoyed a treatment at the spa and then had an hour lying out on the lovely sun lounger by the outdoor pool.

The grounds are extensive and the flower beds and area surrounding the house is impressive.

We were well taken care of by the staff during our stay.

We had a very enjoyable stay - it was just too short so we are already trying to plan when to return.

Where to start ? - The architecture, rooms and views are stunning, service extremely professional but at the same time warm and friendly. Fantastic facilities, with both indoor and outdoor (heated) pools and an amazing dining room, with food to match. Will definitely return!

We had the best afternoon at Cliveden. We were given a very warm welcome when we arrived and had a relaxing pre-lunch drink in the lounge bar area. Sunday lunch was delicious and beautifully presented. Cliveden is blessed with first class staff (this was our third visit in the last 6 months) and the service is always excellent. A special mention to Ben. He is a star and it’s always a pleasure to see him. Big thank you to everyone at Cliveden.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at Cliveden in the Dining room. We had the Tasting menu, which was superb. The courses were timed perfectly. Each course was divine and accompanied by an exquisite Fixin Domaine Vallet-Freres, La Croix Blanche Burgundy.
The atmosphere was wonderful and the wait staff were so friendly and knowledgeable. After a leisurely five hours, we retired to the sumptuous bar for after dinner drinks, before our short journey home. A fitting birthday dinner for my Wife.

From the moment we arrived until we left the staff were exceptional. They could not have been more friendly while retaining a high professional standard. The food was fabulous, the tastes were delicious and the dishes looked impeccable.
We had an excellent evening which we will remember for a long time. Thank you.

We loved Cliveden. Stayed at the start of a luxury stay in Wales so stayed here on route up north chester first then North Wales. Rooms nice if a little unclean but nothing serious. The gardens are spectacular. The drive up to Cliveden is another world. The entrance to interior design dreams.

We would return. Incredible
