Danesfield House Hotel And Spa, Marlow

Grandious hotel with excellent spa facilities and fine dining. Room with magnificent view over the gardens and a bend in the river Thames.

Excellent service from the front desk on both checkin and checkout, sadly the bar and breakfast restaurant staff were not quite so good. Service was slow and reminders of our orders were needed more than once. Not terrible, but a little polishing would make the world of difference. Aside from there couple of comments, we had a delightful stay in the beautiful Tierney suite.

We spent 3 wonderful days at the Danesfield House and really enjoyed our stay. The room we had was not quite up to our expectations but with help of the staff we were provided with a nice room with a fair view. The bar is wonderful and the food is very good and very reasonable for such an upscale Hotel. The grounds and the view is impossible to be beat and lots of walks are available.

If I blank the first 15 minutes out of this review when the receptionist sent us on a route march into teh depths of the hotel when our accomodation was actually outside in a courtyard block, then it was a fantastic stay. Amenities, grounds, whole ambience was just what we needed to feel special. As well as the leisure facilities do explore the grounds where there are lots of individual seating areas to enjoy the surroundings and perhaps even read a book or sip some wine. Yes the evening meal was a tad expensive, but it was in keeping with the hotel standard and quality of produce used. We'll go back when we can. Felt totally recharged after the visit.

Staying in lots of hotels across U.K. and global I was expecting a little more. The hotel clearly has character but the finishing is looking tired in the guest rooms and spa. Lick of paint wouldn't go amiss and replacing chipped or worn items would be more in keeping with the price they ask. Couple of issues such as long check out, staff seemed more concerned with incoming delegation guests than actual guests. Restaurant was cold service ok food ok but again hitting below the mark of the price and rating. Breakfast was hit and miss. Toast arrives after finishing the full breakfast, asked if I wanted any condiments and then given a used tomato sauce pot from another table. For price and suggested luxury rating not really expected.
