1 / 8Cliveden House
Taplow, Buckinghamshire
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.
A Grade I stately home in 376 acres of National Trust grounds at Taplow, where dogs get their own menu in The Astor Grill.
Cliveden House is a Grade I stately home set on 376 acres of National Trust grounds at Taplow, with 47 bedrooms named after notable personalities from the house's past. The public areas of the House are open to well behaved dogs at this dog friendly hotel, though not The Cliveden Dining Room or The Cliveden Spa.
Each dog receives a towel, water and food bowls and a bed of their own, though the bedrooms with hot tubs are not open to dogs. Guests are asked to sign a dog policy agreement on arrival, and the hotel doesn't state a limit on dog numbers, so put that to them when you book.
The Astor Grill, in the old stables and still carrying an equestrian theme in its decor, welcomes dogs, and there is a dog menu of meals and snacks to order from. The cooking blends American influences with British favourites. The Cliveden Dining Room, which was once the Drawing Room of the house, serves modern British dishes as three courses or a seven course tasting menu, with afternoon tea looking out over the Parterre.
Cliveden House is a five AA Red Star hotel, with an outdoor pool and hot tubs, an indoor pool, sauna and steam heat, a gym with the water in view, and vintage boat trips on the River Thames. The estate is there to walk, though the hotel points dog owners to the National Trust's own restrictions within it. Wildpack's Cliveden Woodland and the Thames is 1.2 miles away, and Burnham Beeches 3.3 miles off.
