Danesfield House that we see today was completed in 1901 as a family home for Robert William Hudson. The house is the third property to have been built within this glorious setting, amidst 65 acres of formal gardens with outstanding views over the River Thames and the Chiltern Hills beyond.
Originally some 4,000 years ago, the site was reputed to have been a resting place of nomadic tribes who paused to hunt nearby land and fish in the then untamed river.If you stand on the crest of the bank between the present house and the river and look west there is a steep ravine directly in front of you which is the remnant of the ramparts of a prehistoric fortification.

Please be aware that in order to ensure social distancing is maintained, and to comply with Government guidelines, all visits to the Spa and use of the Spa facilities (including Residents at the Hotel) must be pre-booked. We have had to limit the number of people that can use facilities at one time, including the swimming pool and the gym.
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.

Excellent room exactly as I'd requested (overlooking the River Thames in the distance), excellent food in the afternoon, dinner and at breakfast. Spa facilities were excellent and, in these difficult Covid times, it was clear to see that the precautions and regulations are being taken very seriously indeed. It was my first time away since the start of Covid and I felt very comfortable and safe throughout my stay. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for and therefore, for me, money well spent.

We had a truly magical experience at the Danesfield House Hotel just before Christmas for a joint birthday celebration with my twin sister.
The hotel was beautifully decorated for Christmas and the rooms magnificent with lovely clean bathrooms. The view of the gardens from the room was also wonderful. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Although not all the staff wore masks, most did, and it made the hotel feel very safe.
We had access to the pool and spa for a fixed time slot to ensure it wasn’t too busy and the dinner in the restaurant was delicious and beautifully presented. They

Wonderful location with fantastic manicured grounds and magnificent building steeped in history.
Staff really pleasant and helpful. A fabulous place for a short break as it has the additional benefit of a spa.
Lunch was beautifully presented, although menu is a little restricted. Dinner menu is more varied so we will return!! However the food was first class.
Would have no problem recommending this venue.

Amazing retreat only on the outskirts of London. Very peaceful exactly what the doctor ordered.Staff were lovely and helpful. You could see some were new, but ever effort was made to ensure the the guests had a pleasant experience. You will always get the moaners and it was upsetting to see how they treat people, especially when they are trying to help. Would definitely come back and recommend this place.

Bought 2 luxury afternoon escapes for a birthday gift around 6 months in advance. At 10am on the morning of the spa day we got an email saying the masseuse had called in sick and that we wouldn’t be able to get the spa treatment. Pretty poor, but we attended anyway as we were told we could have lunch, use the facilities and receive a full complimentary afternoon escape on another date.
The service at lunch was very poor — understandable because they had a wedding on, but we had to walk to the counter to order food and drink several times. At no point did anyone explain to us which food was

The service was amazing and room were very large and well presented. The whole area and the building was beautiful. The food at the restaurant and the breakfast are second to non. Really well presented and taste amazing. The Staff were also able to cater for dietary needs if advance notice is given. The two Spa treatments I took was great. The second massage was genuinely better then the first so if booking treatment try with two different professionals.

Mixed feelings. The grounds are nice although maybe not perfectly maintained. The same comment goes for the building and amenities. The pool was very good. Spa treatments decent. The food though, was very limited and very average. If you stay here, book to eat outside if the hotel which includes the breakfast. The staff however were all excellent. Polite and helpful, they turned 3 star into 4.

Beautiful building and setting. Staff welcoming and friendly. Our room could do with some attention to decor but very spacious with toiletries, iron and hairdryer. Restaurant was quite posh staff was overly professional, not natural. Drinks was way too expensive. Menu was OK not everyday food but it was well cooked and presentable. Spa was excellent.
