Reviews and Ratings

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Cliveden House is often described as a castle with stunning gardens that stretch for miles, bordering the Thames, where guests can enjoy boating. Many highlight the afternoon tea as a superb experience, complete with tasty sandwiches, cakes, and scones, sometimes even exceeding the standards of venues like The Savoy. Some guests in corner rooms have noted that their views overlooked the parking area, impacting privacy, but overall, the historic monument and surrounding park provide a picturesque and classy escape with dining options ranging from upscale tasting menus to more casual fare, leaving guests feeling like royalty.

Underwhelming Service Despite Historic Setting

bathroom fixturesdust accumulation
The service fell short of expectations for a hotel of this caliber. I had to request assistance multiple times for basic amenities. the upkeep in some areas requires attention. The bathroom fixtures showed signs of wear, and I found dust accumulation in corners. These details detract from the overall luxury experience one anticipates at this price point.

The facial at the spa was lovely. Imogen has magic fingers. It left my skin glowing.
The hotel did not meet my expectations regarding service. We arrived at the gate, but the registration plate was not recognized. I buzzed four times, but there was no response. The service was slow and lacked attentiveness. The rubber seal on the bath shower screen had an orange mould from lack of cleaning.
