Danesfield House Hotel And Spa

“Beautiful but not the luxury we expected for the price”

Beautiful hotel and surroundings, but very over-priced and lacking in attention to some details.

Beautiful hotel and surroundings, but very over-priced and lacking in attention to some details. We had a lovely 2 night break, the room was spacious and with a beautiful view over the river but lacked some of the details that you would expect in a hotel that charges as much as it does. The shower was covered in limescale and dated, and you could never get a consistent and comfortable temperature out of it. Very limited tea and coffee options within the room. The bed was hard and the pillows were flat and uncomfortable - I have had much more comfortable nights sleep in a premier inn. The spa was nice and the staff were pleasant enough, although I asked about the history of the building when we checked in given the plethora of WW2 pictures around the reception and was told ‘I think it used to be someone’s house’. A bit more research showed it had a much more interesting history than that which really I would expect staff to be able to at least hint at. I think my main gripe is how eye-wateringly over-priced the food is. Breakfast is £27.50 for very mediocre menu with no buffet options. I had eggs florentine which was absolutely drowning in vinegary Hollandaise sauce and our toast arrived way after we had finished the rest of our food and only after chasing. We had dinner the first night in the Cocktail bar - a very limited menu and not wanting anything too heavy I opted for the smoked salmon plate. I literally got one slice of tough sourdough with a slice of smoked salmon on it and some tired looking salad garnish on top. Very disappointing indeed for £16.50! Overall we had a lovely weekend and enjoyed the surroundings, but they need to up their game to live up to the image of luxury and grandeur they seek to portray, and I wouldn’t bother eating there ever again.

We have stayed many times at Danesfield house and are a VERY fussy family . It really does the job . It's not incredible no and its not really refined luxury ,but it is really good . service is great . food good . spa is workable ...very fine . Rooms lovely . especially if you have a room overlooking the front . We have had many different rooms . All lovely . The formica tables are a bit grim for dinner ... so doesnt feel 5 star (more canteen ) but overlooks the grounds and in the summer its lovely .... service always good and friendly . the small bar is a delight . We really like Danesfield and always suggest it as an affordable and nice option . It's not super high end ... but its very nice

“Thoroughly enjoyable stay”

A lovely 2-night stay at Danesfield House. A beautiful building, with extensive well-tended gardens. Some reviews refer to the hotel not being at its best. If it’s ultra-modern surroundings and facilities you want, this hotel may not be for you. Yes, a little attention to detail here & there woul… lisää

A lovely 2-night stay at Danesfield House. A beautiful building, with extensive well-tended gardens. Some reviews refer to the hotel not being at its best. If it’s ultra-modern surroundings and facilities you want, this hotel may not be for you. Yes, a little attention to detail here & there would be great ( and elevate my review to 5 ⭐️) , however…….. The staff are superb…. Without exception, they are polite, professional, friendly, welcoming and professional! The spa, ( pool, jacuzzi, steam room, sauna, gym and treatments) , is relaxing and spotless. My facial was fabulous! We thoroughly enjoyed both our breakfast and evening meals. Good choice and well cooked. Great service!

“Disappointing”

Very poor choice of food and expensive. I think they have the dining experience completely wrong. There are numerous choice in Marlow that are far superior and value for money. I think they should review what they offer , surely management check their competitors. I will not be returning
