Danesfield House Hotel & Spa in Wycombe

Great location with ample stunning walks on-site. Really good food, friendly staff. Great for weddings. Rooms are on the small, cosy side with impractical ceiling slopes but still had a good night.

We attended a weding here and the staff and location were absolutely superb. We had such a good time and were well looked after. Im even thinking of coming back again as id never been to this area.

We had our wedding at Danesfield House last month and it was the day we’d dreamed of! We’ve had so many compliments from guests about the beautiful location, and well kept grounds of the hotel. It really wowed them and provided such a perfect setting for our day. The other hot topic of conversation has been the incredible food. The lamb in particular was cooked perfectly which is very impressive when so many plates were served at once, and as we looked round the room after dinner, we couldn’t see too much food left on plates (we had 85 guests)! The day itself ran seamlessly, and the service provided by the Danesfield team was excellent. We overheard the team taking time ahead of the wedding breakfast to discuss a game plan, which really paid off, and the smaller details over the day such as holding aside a canapé for each of us and first service on food didn’t go unnoticed. Graham the toastmaster was so helpful throughout the day making sure we were where we needed to be in such a polite and non-intrusive way, and every interaction with the staff at Danesfield was lovely. We also wanted to personally thank you Kajsa for everything she helped with in the last couple of years. She made our planning process easier than we were expecting after hearing of bad experiences from others at other venues, and her quick and thorough responses always gave us the information we needed to keep the process going and we knew her or someone else from the team would be available to help no matter the question. The Danesfield team have given us both a day we will remember forever - thank you so much.

They stored our bags after check-out.

First time visit for impromptu get away with my wife - I love the Thames valley in this area - and have driven past many times - the location is stunning - the gardens and sweeping view of the Thames make this a unique and special place. The building is imposing and architecturally interesting. The interior is attractive but for me is a little heavy in the reproduction furniture and art. We were very happy with our room - it was the basic option yet still very spacious. The spa and pool were a highlight and well set out. The dining options were pretty good and the food tasty but the prices are a little punchy for what you get. I have to say our lemon curd desert was excellent. The waiting and desk staff are warm and friendly - maybe just try and relax a little more - personally I’m less keen on formal service - but everyone way lovely nevertheless. Overall - this is a magical location - it just needs to have a few more affordable dining options for those that don’t want to break the bank to be viable for a larger family group.

Just returned after a 2 night break here. Couldn't fault it. The hotel itself, spa, grounds, service and food were all excellent. I would say it's one of the nicest hotels we've ever stayed in. The food was exceptional as was the service. Would definitely recommend and hope to return again.

A nice place, plenty of parking, great views. The gardens look like they need some TLC, they look tired and not in keeping with the house.

Was fortunate to stay here for a private event. The staff were amazing and couldn't do enough for you. The food was 5 stars and the dining room was laid out beautifully. It's situated in quiet location just outside Marlow town over looking beautiful gardens and the Thames. The room we stayed in was large with a four poster bed with plenty of wardrobe space and an internal door so you don't here people talking up and down the corridor and a door to a shared balcony over looking the terrace where we had drinks.

Our best stay yet! We've stayed at Danesfield three times now for our anniversaries, and our most recent stay surpassed all previous expectations. We were given a free room upgrade to a large room with stunning Thames views. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The new vegan restaurant menu was delicious, as was the newly curated set of house cocktails at the bar (the lead mixologist behind the bar has some fascinating insights into their creations!). Breakfast was also a highlight thanks to the team for whipping up a huge off-menu vegan breakfast spread for us. The spa was pleasant as always, and we enjoyed very relaxing massage treatments as well. We can't wait to return soon.

Very beautiful hotel & good staff

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing and videoing a surprise proposal at Danesfield House, and it was truly a memorable experience! The venue is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views and beautiful surroundings that provided the perfect backdrop for such a special moment. The staff were incredibly accommodating and made sure everything went smoothly, which helped create a relaxed and seamless atmosphere. It was clear that Danesfield House has a genuine commitment to excellence in service, making it an ideal choice for any significant occasion. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a picturesque and elegant location for proposals, weddings, or any special event.

We visited for afternoon tea, but it was a bit rough around the edges - the table wear needed replacing, tea stained/flaking. Uniforms were not clean. It’s a shame to say the service didn’t feel professional, despite the smiles and friendliness from the staff. The afternoon tea was nice, the tea leaves were lovely and fragrant. Sandwiches and scones were nice. Accommodating for the buggy and two children. Lovely location.

Simple, a little old fashioned. Went to the gym and spa there. Checked the rooms were alright. Good spot in the forest, ideal for work and recharge.

I’ve never done this before - written a review while I’m still at the hotel, but genuinely I’ve just arrived and I would’ve rather stayed at home. I booked this as a last minute staycay this morning to cheer myself up after one of those weeks. Check in was a mess (I was taken to an occupied room, with a rather angry couple present, and had to apologise) my room is on the top floor and conveniently the lift is broken so that’s fun, there is damp/water ingress/leaks in my room and rooms are in desperate need of recarpeting, completely stained. Staff in the restaurant and club room/bar were very friendly but other than that basic attentiveness, consideration, service and hospitality you would expect from a decent hotel, upon arrival or when problems arise , were not there. If this is a 5* hotel then travel lodge is one of the five wonders of the world. Really disappointed.

We were already apprehensive about our stay at Danesfield House Hotel & Spa due to the lack of communication prior to arrival. We had called a month in advance to book a couples massage and were told this would be fine and that we would receive a call to confirm payment. However, no such call ever took place. After weeks of trying, leaving voicemails without anybody returning our calls, somebody finally answered, and, to our dismay, informed us that a couples massage was no longer available. This was very upsetting, given we had previously been told our booking had been confirmed and that we would receive a call to make a payment over the phone. The only option, now, was to book two individual massages - which was not honouring our original agreement. However, after reluctantly agreeing to this, we were then called the next day to be asked if we minded moving the timing of that appointment! Apparently they prefer to arrange everything so it suits them. We, the paying guests, were inconsequential it seems. Now to our stay. Upon arrival, we were due to receive a bottle of champagne as part of our package. However, we did not receive it. Instead, we had to request it the following day where it did finally accompany our dinner. Had we not pushed on this matter, that bottle of champagne would have gone elsewhere (as I suspect was always the plan). The room that we were given was adequate at best. Mindful that we had not selected to stay in one of the more luxurious rooms, I was still rather alarmed at the exposed wall plugs in the bathroom where the radiator was noticeably coming away from the wall. There was also paint peeling off of the window frame in the bedroom, and all of the complimentary biscuits to accompany the teas and coffees were completely crushed. The other issue was that we were woken between 5 and 6am during both mornings of our stay by very loud footsteps and noise coming from the area above our room. Again, I am mindful that we hadn't chosen the most luxurious room, but the entire proposition is a 'luxury break' as you will see from their marketing literature. This was not supposed to be a Travelodge experience. At the end of what was supposed to be a relaxing retreat, we were not in the mindset to complain, but upon reflection, we think you should know that it was a disappointing stay. There were a couple of members of staff who were helpful and lightened the experience, but on the whole the customer service was not on a par with the experience that is portrayed by their website. We gave our feedback to Danesfield who did offer a complimentary night's stay, however, we weren't able to take this offer up for a while due to work and life commitments. When I did finally get around to organising our return stay, a member of staff rather abruptly told me I couldn't have it anymore! Nevermind then. I'd have been less inclined to write this review had they honoured that arrangement, considering there was no expiration date accompanying that offer.

Stunning location and hotel. Very friendly staff and amazing service. Good breakfast with many options, even for people who have allergy or intolerance. Our room for 2 nights was cosy ...very cold in the afternoon as the central heating starts at 5 pm so we had to ask for a small heater. Unfortunately, we haven't slept very well because of the noises during the night (people stumping their feet and going up and down the stairs at 2am). Very nice and clean facilities (gym,pool steam room and sauna).

We had such a gorgeous time staying at Danesfield this winter. So much so we ended up extending our stay. The building is gorgeous - old but well maintained. The spa is lovely. The service is super friendly and attentive. And the overall vibe is just so relaxed. It's exactly what you want from a couple's mini break. Ellis, Adam and Willow looked after us brilliantly. We can't wait to return again.

The perfect choice for an overnight stay and a little dose of luxury. It’s a beautiful venue and every member of staff was brilliant. Highly recommend a visit!

I organised a private event (surprise birthday) at this hotel and it was excellent. Vicki (Meeting & Events manager) was very responsive and she helped with a couple of small bespoke requests which made the event extra special. Vinod (banquet manager) on the day was excellent and made sure it all went off without a hitch. All other staff were very friendly and accommodating. Rooms were lovely, and the spa is a nice addition - though more loungers on busy weekends would be appreciated.

A lovely and well equipped hotel, set in beautiful surroundings. As far as amenities, the hotel is certainly four-star, with a price tag to match. However, what let it down is the level of service. Normally I would not be concerned with such things but when you're paying almost £500 for a single night with dinner and breakfast, I expect better: - I paid £50 for early check-in. On arrival I was initially told my room was not ready. Then after around 15 minutes I was escorted to my room but told I didn't have a key card due to an issue with the machine. When I left my room to get something from my car I had to then hunt down a member of staff to access my room. This was a minor inconvenience that I'd let go if I wasn't charged an extra £50 to check-in early. I even mentioned this to the staff on check-out and they made no attempt to acknowledge it - The breakfast was overpriced considering what it was and the level of service (which they also added to the bill). 22.50 for a cooked breakfast where I had to remind the staff twice about my order. Again, small things but not given the premium the hotel is charging. Would I return? Perhaps, if there was some kind of promotion but given the overall cost, I've had much better stays and service at other hotels.

Horrendous place. Do not stay here. Dated, dirty and appalling service. 20-30 years ago it may have been okay but not it is disgusting and I would not have my dog stay here.

Popped in for afternoon tea at this stunning country house. We were a little early so took some time to explore the wonderful grounds and work up an appetite. Glorious views across the Thames and gorgeous location. Now onto the afternoon tea. The sandwiches were amazing, the cakes were divine and to top it off, the freshly baked scones were simply fantastic. I thoroughly recommend a visit to sample this. Just utterly perfect.

Lovely location. Great walks and friendly helpful staff.

Danesfield House and the spa were absolutely beautiful and we had a wonderful time at my sister's wedding. Our room was perfect and the staff were lovely. Breakfast was disappointing though. First morning my husband's cooked breakfast was brought while he was still eating his porridge. The second his porridge turned up after his cooked breakfast. The whole experience was very chaotic.

Beautiful hotel and grounds, lovely food in the evening restaurant. I would recommend the restaurant for dinner. For a hotel stay and spa visit, absolutely not. Staff are rude to customers and to one another, seems to be tension between the teams, we raised some issues but management doesn't want to take any responsibility. He even ran away from our conversation and did not come back as he seemed scared to speak to us and deal with it. Very strange atmosphere which ruins and otherwise beautiful place. Young girl on the spa reception doesn't seem to know what she is doing. Cancelled our couples massage (that was booked 2 months ago) proceeded to charge us anyway, then blamed us for not showing up on time and refused to refund us. It's all very strange. Feels like visiting Faulty Towers... Update: In addition to your response George, we have tried to resolve this in person twice and on email twice to Alex who I am told is your general manager. No one has resolved this or bothered to respond hence I am writing our experience here. Which seems to get a response, albeit with false information. Wishing you a good day.

Great stay! I came to celebrate my friend's birthday. All the staff was good! But we wanted to give a special thanks to Lisa from the restaurant, she is amazing and made us feel very welcome!

LOVE LOVE LOVE! friendly staff, amazing quality breakfast, the fine dining food was excellent. Comfortable rooms, good showers. It's worth the money. We stayed for 2 days but could have done longer as it was so relaxing. Thanks for a great stay and making us feel so welcome

Please go there once in your life. You wouldn't want to leave. It's tranquil and serene. Staff is great and with great energy. We will return soon. Maybe, even get more friends to join us. We booked the spa for the whole day. It was the most relaxing day in 2024. The restaurant is amazing. Food is great. Pricing is very reasonable.

A really lovely spa break at this lovely hotel. We booked on the spur of the Moment . Easy to reach from London . The grounds were beautiful. The terrace with amazing views reminded me of Beaverbrook (but half the price yay). The staff were lovely and helpful. The spa was great and the pool a good size . I think my only criticism was the price of the breakfast at £25. I don’t eat alot for breakfast - happy with toast and coffee. I felt a bit pushed into booking the BF as it was far from anywhere BUT I didn’t actually ask the team if I could just have that , and as they were so lovely they may well have said yes . Also the coffee in the room was Nescafé which I’m not a fan of. Next time I’ll bring my own coffee , and yes I will go back it’s a great place If you can get room 101 or 102 definitely go for it!

We had an amazing afternoon tea there in beautiful surroundings overlooking the Thames. I am keen to have an evening meal there and possibly try the sauna facilities.

Lovely views and very calm peaceful surroundings, Danesfield is full of old world charm and character. On a previous visit we had been very impressed by the atmosphere, ambiance and the food offered. I was really looking forward to my mother's day treat on a Tuesday after Mothering Sunday (on which I had been at work). Myself and three daughters arrived for a pre-booked tea and after being re-directed by the two young women at reception, found our way through to the conservatory area. Another very pleasant young woman showed us to a table with lovely views and found a high chair for my 11 month old grandson. We ordered the full afternoon tea which was sandwiches, scones and cakes supplied with our choice of teas. After delivering our food and tea we were left to enjoy. Unfortunately the sandwiches whilst fresh were rather dull, egg with a cress garnish, ham and mustard, cream cheese but no cucumber and brioche buns with coronation chicken. The brioche buns needed more filling as they were very dry, otherwise they might have worked better. The very best were the rye bread with sour cream and smoked salmon, absolutely delicious. We were able to request some more hot water to replenish our cups and continued. The scones were excellent both plain and fruited, slightly warm and with plenty of clotted cream. The jam was red but had no evident fruit pieces and reminded me of the mixed fruit jam of yester year! With the plethora of fruit conserves available nowadays, I would have thought a real jam or conserve would be possible. The cakes were very pretty and dainty. Tiny pink macarons, a very rich chocolate slice, something with an orange coloured glaze and some small round chocolate cups with a very peculiar bittersweet flavour. It would've been nice to know what we were eating but no staff were in evidence. We kept trying to get anyone passing to assist but to no avail. Some other people seated at the next table seemed to be having some problems with their order too so maybe there was an issue in the kitchen. Once we had finished we wanted to settle the bill but had to go through to reception in order to find anyone to assist. I have no particular desire to complain because this was a gift from one of my daughters to her mother and sisters, but she works very hard for her money and I feel in this instance did not receive the best value for it. I realise that staffing in such establishments is challenging nowadays and I'm not critical of the young woman who did serve us, she did her best in the circumstances. It seems to me that there is a problem with the management, ie there did not appear to be anyone managing the situation or the staff. Whilst I have no desire for constant attention, I do feel that regular checks on customers needs are important.

Beautiful surroundings and relaxing spar, steeped in history, my wife loved it and the food was fantastic.

Had a wonderful afternoon tea. All the staff were very friendly and accommodating. There was ample delicious food.
