December 2024My lovely children & husband treated me to a most wonderful 60th birthday celebration. Was I impressed, that’s an understatement. I had the most gorgeous celebration with my friends & family. Was a beautiful experience. The venue, the ambience of the gardens and service in general were next to none. Loved it. Thank you for making my day so special.

February 2025We had the Valentines Day afternoon tea here and it was lovely. We sat by the window looking out at the garden, the tea options were exceptional and the sandwiches were amazing. It was a great experience that I woild highly recommend to anyone. The options provided for vegetarians on this was very good also, they were very imaginative with their choices of food. Delicious, great views ans a fantastic day.

February 2025Cliveden House is an absolute dream of a wedding venue. It is steeped in history, bursting with charm, and a paradise for any couple (or photographer!) who loves romance and elegance. Every time I step onto the grounds, I feel like I've been transported into a timeless love story, and capturing a wedding here is nothing short of magical. The French Dining Room is breathtaking, the kind of place where every little detail feels rich with history yet somehow intimate and warm. And the gardens? They're just spectacular. Walking through them with a newlywed couple, watching golden light dance through the trees, capturing those quiet, love-filled moments, it's the kind of setting that makes my heart race as a wedding photographer. But what makes Cliveden truly special isn't just the stunning backdrops (though there are plenty!). It's the feeling you get when you're there. It's grand, yet inviting. Elegant, yet full of life. The fantastic team ensures everything runs smoothly while making couples and guests feel like they belong. Cliveden House is pure magic if you're looking for a venue that will take your breath away and create the most unforgettable memories.

March 2025My girlfriend and I recently visited Cliveden House and had a wonderful time exploring the stunning gardens and woodlands. The house itself, now a luxury hotel, is only open to the public on certain days, so check online before you go to avoid disappointment. The estate has a fascinating history and links to royalty. The riverside walk offers beautiful views of the Thames, and the parterre garden is especially impressive. I’d recommend arriving early to enjoy the peaceful grounds perfect for a romantic day out.

March 2025Well, I can’t review the hotel or afternoon tea at Cliveden House, I’ll have to leave that for another day. But today, in beautiful weather, we walked the grounds, and had a wonderful time taking in the sunshine and garden vista. Even the meals at the Observatory Cafe were delicious. We’ll definitely be back to see the house/hotel another time, and try the famous afternoon tea.
