Excellent 2 night stay at Danesfield House. Lovely staff and very helpful. Room was very spacious and comfortable with all amenities provided. Particularly liked having a smart tv capable of casting from phone so I could watch the Grand Prix qualifying! Food was lovely, had dinner in the oak room and have to say the food was better than the meal we had the previous night at the Hand and Flowers. and a third of the price! Will certainly return.

Had a two night break here with my partner in mid May and were blessed with good weather. This allowed easy access by walk to Marlow which is a beautiful small town. Rooms are of excellent standard, ours with a balcony and view over the grounds to the river. Bar and restaurant facilities are excellent as is the spa. All staff are courteous and efficient. Price reflects the quality if the establishment. Recommended.

My Husband and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Danesfield House Hotel & Spa as a treat for my birthday. The staff went over and above to make our stay a happy one from the moment we checked in. Nothing was too much trouble and the staff even gave us complimentary drinks and truffles on our first night with our dinner. The room was better than expected as we'd booked a package stay via Secret Escapes and the hotel grounds, interior and spa facilities did not disappoint.
Dining in the orangery was a real treat too and the food was very well presented and delicious. Would thoroughly recommend a stay at Dansfield House and we will certainly return. Thank you for making our stay a trip to remember!
