Site Visit To Cliveden House

You get a real sense of arrival this stately home, which was owned by Astor family.  It really is an exceptional experience and a really special place.There are wonderful views of the countryside and Thames, especially from a 1st floor terrace which can be hired privately.  

In 2014 it was closed for a period of refurbishment and reopened in January 2015.  In 2016 the largest meeting room will be converted into four spa bedrooms, making the total number of bedrooms 44 and a replacement meeting room is going to be built in a courtyard.

There are several meeting rooms for up to 40 people, but the hotel works best for small high-end groups, for example board meetings.   Hidden away downstairs there is a very interesting brick wine cellar with a vaulted room which can be used for a dinner for 12 people.  The hotel can include a Butler’s talk about the history of the estate.  

Cliveden has two boats on the Thames, one for 10 people and one for four and these can be used for a cruise with picnic, drinks etc.  There is a spa in the grounds, next to the outdoor swimming pool.  Team building is available on site or there is more space next door at Hedsor House for motorised events.

Considerations

Cliveden is looking for residential meetings of 20-25 Monday-Thursday, as well as smaller groups.

The property is owned by the National Trust and NT visitors can use the grounds, but not the hotel.  The hotel cannot use the terrace at the back of the building in the day time, but can have access in the evening when NT visitors have gone home
