Danesfield House Hotel And Spa  

Small room looking out over noisy generators, so not a good nights rest

Very relaxing with friendly and helpful staff in all areas of the hotel. Have been several times before and will definately be back later in the year.

The hotel was very luxurious and the staff were excellent and very attentive. The room was of a very high standard. Thoroughly recommended.

The overall experience was very positive - the hotel is located in Tudor-style castle dating from 1901, amid a vast well-maintained park on a hill above Thames and with a view over Chiltern Hills. Hotel personnel is super friendly and super helpful - they cater for all, even smallest needs and make you feel like home.

The hotel needs a serious investment into soundproofing (being in rooms you can hear what happens in corridors and vica versa), beds and pillows (feels like they remained since 1901)

Relaxing break with friends where we did not have to lift a finger!

It's an incredible building and the staff were superb. They were attentive, very polite, not pushy and very welcoming. They are a genuine asset to the company that runs Danesfield. They mad a great trip perfect.

The only suggestion I'd make is that there could be more information about needing to book spa treatments in advance. Guys like me don't think of that sort of thing and disapointment could be avoided if you help us guys out by telling us this kind of thing.

The restaurant was amazing a truly lovely hotel

The beautiful hotel itself and gardens, surroundings and views were stunning! We enjoyed sitting at the cocktail bar and chatting with the bar staff who were very friendly and accommodating as well as chatting with other guests from all over the world!

Not much in way of TV/movies to watch

Beautiful hotel with wonderfully intact features. Room was small but it was a last minute standard room and the furniture was not the best quality but the bed was lovely, sheets great and the bathroom excellent. We had no complaints this is a beautiful hotel with amazing views and extremely helpful staff.

The staff were very good and welcoming.

Bathroom a little small and the ventilation of the bathroom was inadequate.

Grounds and setting

I booked an executive room with views of the river. When we arrived at the hotel, our room wasn't ready so we left our luggage and went out for a few hours. When we returned to the hotel we was told our room was ready and that our bags were there. Upon entering the room, I was dismayed to see that we had views of the roof of the building (it is a very rambling old manor house). I rang down to reception and said that I had a booking for an executive room with views! She said she would see if there was another room for us. When she called back she said there was only one room left that had views, and would I like to see if it would be ok. (The reason that there was only one room left was that other people had booked in before us). I would have thought, that as we had arrived earlier, that our room had been allocated, and could see that we were booked into a executive room with views! The room that was shown to us did have views, but it was way down a winding corridor, then up stairs that looked like they led to the attic. (It was actually an attic room) No wonder it was the only room left. We took the room, as it was better then the allocated one, but I did ask at the desk the next day if it was an executive room, and was told that it was. I have my doubts as to that. I ordered tea in the room the next morning, and when we arrived home later in the evening, although our room was made up, the tea tray still stood on the landing outside our room, which shows you that it was too far up in the building for anyone to care!

Room upgrade to celebrate my wife's milestone birthday was much appreciated, as were the birthday cake and flowers arranged by the very helpful reception staff..

An impressive and regal place to stay but not at all imposing and the staff made you feel very welcome and special.
