5-star historic country house estate on 376 acres of National Trust gardens overlooking the River Thames
The Estate & Grounds
Cliveden House sits within 376 acres of National Trust gardens, including an iconic Parterre that offers sweeping views over the River Thames. Guests can explore the Water Garden, Rose Garden, Topiary Garden, and Yew Maze, all maintained to the highest standards. The hotel also offers scenic boat trips on the River Thames from its own boathouse, with vintage boats available for personal experiences.
Dining
The Cliveden Dining Room holds 3 AA Rosettes and serves dinner with views over the Parterre Gardens. For less formal meals, the Astor Grill in the old stables offers a relaxed atmosphere with a menu of grilled meats and fish. Afternoon tea is served in the French Dining Room, which was originally shipped from a French château.
Spa & Wellness
The hotel's spa includes two swimming pools - one indoor and one outdoor - plus two outdoor jacuzzis, a sauna, and a steam room. Guests can book massages, facials, manicures, pedicures, and body treatments, with spa/wellness packages available. A separate spa lounge and relaxation area, along with a spa café serving salads and snacks, complete the wellness facilities.
Location
Guest rooms in the main house, such as the TE Lawrence Room, include access to a Butler's Pantry stocked with complimentary wine, beer, soft drinks, and snacks. Certain suites have working fireplaces, four-poster beds, and separate living areas. Hotel guests also receive access to the Cliveden Club, which provides social membership privileges.
Points of Interest
On-site activities include clay pigeon shooting, foraging walks, tennis on the hotel's tennis court, and use of the golf course. The hotel is 30 km from London Heathrow Airport and close to Windsor Castle, Henley Royal Regatta, and Royal Ascot. Families can use the children's play trail that passes the Ilex grove with four 30-foot variegated English Hollies.

“The approach to the estate immediately sets a grand tone, hinting at the historic significance and expansive grounds. Service is notably attentive, with staff anticipating needs from welcome champagne to assisting with exploration, and the accommodation itself feels thoughtfully appointed. Across the dining experiences and the serene spa, the attention to detail and quality of the offerings contribute to a thoroughly considered stay.”
