A Stately Home Above the Thames

On 376 acres of National Trust grounds above the Thames in Berkshire, Cliveden House is a Grade I-listed stately home of individually named rooms and suites, with fine dining, a spa and vintage-boat trips on the river.

Three centuries of glamour and intrigue

Cliveden House stands on 376 acres of National Trust grounds above the River Thames at Taplow in Berkshire, a Grade I-listed stately home built in 1666, about 40 minutes from London and 25 from Heathrow, and a five AA Red Star hotel owned by the National Trust. Accommodation is in individually named rooms and suites, from the Lady Astor and Prince of Wales suites to deluxe and club rooms and the three-bedroom riverside Spring Cottage.

Dining spans the Cliveden Dining Room in the original drawing room over the Parterre and Thames, the relaxed Astor Grill in the former stables and a celebrated afternoon tea. There is the Cliveden Spa with treatments and a spa pool, and private vintage-boat trips on the Thames, with a Laurent-Perrier picnic option. Steeped in more than 350 years of history and visited by every reigning monarch since George I, it is dog and family friendly, with weddings and exclusive hire. Part of Iconic Hotels & Resorts, it suits couples seeking a romantic, heritage-rich stately-home escape with strong dining and gardens.
