The fantastic Chefs at Danesfield house create a range of delicious and sumptuous offerings with locally sourced produce.

The Orangery
An ‘Orangery' was a building frequently found in the grounds of fashionable residences from the 17th to the 19th Century and given a classical architectural form. The Orangery was similar to a greenhouse or conservatory. The name reflects the original use of the buildings as a place where citrus trees were often wintered in tubs under cover, surviving through harsh frosts though not expected to flower and fruit. Put simply, one of the finest views of the River Thames and the Chilterns you will see whilst dining.

In General, The Hotel, was quiet due to the time of year. The Restaurant was very good, except for the following morning the full English Breakfast,was poor.
Would we stay again, Yes, when the weather gets warmer and we can wonder the grounds and neighboring towns, Marlow and Henley.
Great location and nice restaurant
The room we were allocated,was an upgrade ,so very good. Unfortunately it was very cold.The staff were very friendly and the breakfast was particularly good.
We have stayed at the hotel several times and would highly recommend
Great weekend
Have stayed several times at Danesfield house. It s always been great and recent break was no exception. Highly recommended.
Nice Break
This is a lovely setting and would be wonderful in the summer.
We enjoyed our stay and the restaurant was excellent.
Just a few niggles...
Our complimentary tea and coffee tray was not replenished properly on the day we arrived. We did not realise this until the following day when other items were added.
There needs to be a better choice of fruit at breakfast...
If you do not order a starter at dinner you had a long wait for your main course to appear.
Drinks rather non alcoholic ones.
Excellent, relaxing post Christmas break
This is a beautiful location and the hotel is run along the lines of an independent that really cares about the enjoyment of it's customers.The grounds are also absolutely stunning, even in the depths of winter. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Beware, however - not booking dinner on our second (Saturday) night when our package included a bottle of wine with dinner was a mistake. We could not be accommodated in the restaurant as it was fully booked when we checked in. We were told that we would be able to eat in the bar and would not need to reserve a table. However, when we arrived, every table was full. We were directed to the Great Hall, which though beautiful, was cold and completely empty. Also - we could not have dinner, only bar snacks or the room service menu. We decided that eating in our room was a better bet. At this point, our order was taken, a complimentary drink offered and our meal delivered promptly. The staff couldn't do enough to help and that softened the blow somewhat.but it did mar a lovely stay.
Great service
Everyone from our first entrance, to our final goodbye, was so helpful.
Warm and courteous
A* across the board. I could not have been more impressed with Danesfield house
We stayed in the deluxe sweet, which overlooked the grounds. We were lucky enough to have sunshine which made the views that much better. The staff were extremely polite and attentive, food was amazing.
If you're looking for a romantic get away, then this is the place.
Pleasant Relaxing Hotel.
A very pleasant and relaxing Hotel, courteous and helpful staff and very convenient to London and surrounding areas.
