Built in 1666 by the 2nd Duke of Buckingham as a gift to his mistress, Cliveden House has remained a pinnacle of intrigue and glamour. A grand and charismatic country house set in 376 acres of magnificent formal gardens and woodland, Cliveden is the original party house. Home to the Astors for decades, and host to the likes of Churchill and Chaplin, Cliveden s social soul can be felt throughout the house, emanating from the art on the walls to the names on the bedroom doors (each of which is named after a former distinguished guest of the house). Boasting antique furniture and period features, Cliveden House has stayed true to its roots whilst providing a luxurious setting to rest, meet and play. This Grade I listed stately home - now a luxurious fivestar hotel with an outstanding Spa, is ready and waiting to welcome you this festive season for the highlight of your 2018 social calendar. A visit to Cliveden House is not complete without a stroll around the impressive National Trust Estate. A nominal charge of 8.35 per person for lunch and afternoon tea or 2 per person for dinner will be added to your account and passed to the National Trust. If you are already a member please present your membership card and the charge will be waived.
