Danesfield House Hotel and Spa

About

As you approach the tree-lined drive that winds beneath the striking Clock Tower, you’ll be in awe of this immense setting. The gleaming, whitewashed exterior of Danesfield House sits overlooking the River Thames between Henley and Marlow and the Chiltern Hills beyond, amongst 65 acres of the most impressive landscaped gardens. Purple wisteria climbs the walls of the building while the wonderful scent of lavender wafts among the grounds. Pretty fountains and waterfalls make Danesfield Gardens so quintessentially English while the Italian Garden adds a touch of the Mediterranean.

Bedrooms and suites at Danesfield House Hotel and Spa

Brimming with history, Danesfield House was once home to the Intelligence Section of the RAF. In 1901 the house was re-built as a family home for Robert William Hudson, and in 1991, it first opened its doors as a hotel.

There are 60 stunning rooms and suites to choose from, some with four poster beds or freestanding baths, and some with their own balcony and views across the Thames. There’s a welcome mix of both traditional country house style rooms and more contemporary design to choose from. Huge windows capture the mesmerising scenery and luxurious furnishings dress the rooms beautifully.

Dining at Danesfield House

Before taking dinner, soak up your surroundings and suppress pre-dinner hunger pains with a drink in the chandelier-clad Grand Hall with the Gallery, the sun-lit atrium, the comfortable cocktail bar or, in the warmer months, the sun-drenched Terrace.

Enjoy one of the finest views of the River Thames and the Chilterns from Danesfield Hotel’s Orangery. Here, Executive Chef, Matthew Edmonds and his team celebrate seasonal English ingredients turning simple local produce into well executed modern British cookery. The Orangery is open daily for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner.

Or discover an unforgettable dining experience in the refined elegance of The Oak Room, where Executive Chef Matthew Edmonds curates an exquisite seven-course tasting menu, showcasing the finest seasonal ingredients. Each course is a celebration of culinary artistry.
