Very peaceful retreat. Rooms are spacious and the gardens are beautiful. Note there are no TV,s in the rooms but that not a problem as I took the iPad to watch. Breakfast is good and accommodate my earlier starts by making up an early breakfast for me. I was here on business and was good value. Would recommend. Thanks

I attended a wonderful half day Yoga and Creative Writing workshop here a few days ago and absolutely loved it. Claridge House has such a beautiful welcoming energy to it. I feel like it gives me a warm hug every time I step inside. The workshop was super relaxing and insightful and so wonderful to be able to look outside at the stunning garden as we practiced some gentle yoga and creative writing exercises under the wonderful guidance of Kate. The morning was finished off with a delicious homecooked vegetarian lunch and I left feeling revived and grateful. Highly recommend Claridge House and all the wonderful offerings they have there. I'll be booking in again soon for sure!

I had a wonderful weekend at Claridge House doing the Qigong Shibashi course. Such a welcoming and peaceful place. The accommodation was very comfortable and spotlessly clean and the food (I opted for vegan) was delicious. I would thoroughly recommend. Really good value for money.

A group of us stayed here for a weekend conference nearby and had a lovely time. Comfy beds, peaceful location, gorgeous grounds (and a cat!), lovely host...We were a bit worried about the breakfast (as we're more low carb people) but there were veggie (as well as vegan) options. Greek yoghurt and fruit, eggs, hot milk provided for coffees etc. All fab!

An excellent place to stay. A lovely Victorian house in a peaceful setting with large and comfortable rooms which are immaculately clean. An atmosphere of quiet unobtrusive Quakerism which is very refreshing. …
