Cliveden House is something quite special, not least because it sits within 376 sublime acres on the banks of the River Thames. It also holds an integral place in English history dating back more than 350 years from the time of its construction in 1666 by the 2nd Duke of Buckingham. With the passing of the years Cliveden has remained a favoured haunt of the glamorous and the elite, and is synonymous with secrecy and intrigue.
Alongside the beautiful grounds, which are open to the public through the National Trust, Cliveden is a heavenly place to play and to relax. Tucked behind the walled-garden is a blissful spa with seven treatment rooms, state of the art techno gym, indoor pool and the infamous 'Profumo' outdoor pool, infra-red sauna and tennis centre.
The grandeur of the Cliveden Dining Room replete with soaring windows and magnificent chandeliers is matched by the outstanding, modern British dishes. For something a little more relaxed head to the Astor Grill, housed in what was formerly the old stable block, the grill is steeped in history and romance and offers an informal approach to dining.
With 48 rooms and suites at Cliveden you'll be spoilt for choice. All offer handmade beds and antique furnishings along with beautiful bathrooms.
The Mansion House Parterre Suites includes the Lady Astor Suite, which is simply magnificent with an expansive private terrace and sweeping views down to the River Thames.
