Cliveden House, Taplow
One of the world's finest luxury hotels, this grand stately home is set in the heart of the Berkshire countryside, surrounded by magnificent formal gardens and parkland. From the moment you are ushered into the beautiful Great Hall with its grand fireplace, oak panelling and priceless artworks, you will feel special.
Each of the 38 rooms and suites are named after a prominent guest or figure from Cliveden's past, and furnished accordingly. Try the Prince of Wales Suite with high ceilings and enjoy a spectacular view over the iconic nineteenth-century Parterre. Or stay in the Spencer suite and take pleasure in the antique, cosy decor. For maximum privacy and romance book the 3 bedroom Spring Cottage, set slightly apart from the main hotel on the banks of the River Thames
