Danesfield House Hotel and Spa

As you approach the tree-lined drive that winds beneath the striking Clock Tower, you’ll be in awe of this immense setting. The gleaming, whitewashed exterior of Danesfield House in Marlow sits among 65 acres of the most impressive landscaped gardens amidst the Buckinghamshire countryside. Purple wisteria climbs the walls of the building while the wonderful scent of lavender wafts among the grounds. Pretty fountains and waterfalls make Danesfield Gardens so quintessentially English while the Italian Garden adds a touch of the Mediterranean. Brimming with history, Danesfield House was once home to the Intelligence Section of the Raf. In 1901 the house was re-built as a family home for Robert William Hudson, and in 1991, it first opened its doors as a hotel. There are 79 stunning rooms and suites to choose from, some with four poster beds or freestanding baths, and some with their own balcony and views across the Thames. There’s a welcome mix of both traditional country house style rooms and more contemporary design to choose from. Huge windows capture the mesmerising scenery and luxurious furnishings dress the rooms beautifully.
