What makes Cliveden House a destination worth the drive?
Let’s be clear—Cliveden House isn’t just another country hotel. It’s a five-star icon perched above the River Thames, wrapped in 376 acres of National Trust gardens, with a storybook past that includes dukes, duchesses, and even a Prince of Wales. These days, it draws a very different but equally discerning crowd: couples escaping the city, friends booking spa weekends, and business execs who know how to switch off in style.
When you’re heading somewhere with that much heritage and polish, the journey should set the tone. Flustered train connections or app-based roulette just don’t cut it.
What’s the best way to get to Cliveden House from London?
By public transport (train + taxi or bus)
Your options here aren’t exactly seamless. You can take a train from Paddington to Maidenhead or Taplow. From there? You’ll need a local taxi or the Line 37 bus to reach the estate.
- Total travel time: ~1 hour 30 minutes minimum
- Cheapest option (two buses): ~£6–£8, but takes almost 4 hours
- Common snags:
- No direct station-to-door connection
- Luggage juggling and platform hopping
- Rural taxis aren’t always a sure thing
Driving yourself
Yes, you could drive. You’ll likely head out via the M4 or M40, then follow country roads to Taplow. The journey is fairly straightforward until the final few miles.
But let’s be honest:
- You’ll need to register your number plate with Cliveden in advance (due to ANPR entry)
- Parking can get tight during weddings or peak weekends
- If you’re the designated driver, forget about sampling Cliveden’s incredible wine list
