Sanctum on the Green Hotel

We came here for a Caribbean bbq day on the bank holiday weekend. The outdoor area was very busy but it didn’t feel it. The steel drums music was a delight and the bbq options were varied. I really liked the rum punch too! And the limbo and table tennis was a good source of entertainment! Add to that the use of the pool on a summers day, it was pretty perfect! Very friendly and efficient staff too in a lovely setting.

We've just had a 2 night stay in the garden lodge. We loved our room, the hotel, restaurant and the location. It was perfect to visit Cliveden House (the purpose of our stay), Hughenden Manor and Marlow. The hotel was apparently taken over in Jan 2024, so is under new management. We think it was the Manager/Owner we spoke to on our first night, who'd also checked us in. He was very friendly and helpful. Our meal in the restaurant was excellent, every course was superb and we loved the ambience. The continental breakfast served during the week was spot on and more than enough to keep us going til lunch. We didn't get to use the pool, but there's a pool bar being built, so this will be a great hotel to use in the warmer months with those 2 facilities. The bed and bedding in the garden lodge was wonderful and very hard to leave! We'll definitely return, possibly with friends next time, as there's lots more to explore nearby. Thanks for a great break.

On arrival looked like the perfect location, there are two EV electric points which was handy for me to top up after a 2 hour drive. Check in was fast and easy. The room was not luxury in anyway so if you want luxury I would go elsewhere. The bed was comfortable. Bathroom needs to be cleaned better. The bedding had old stains on and there were wrappers left in drawers from previous customers.. staff were pleasant.

Very welcoming staff. Room was very comfortable and quiet. Breakfast was basic.. Continental.. not great when you are gluten free Arrived back at hotel about 1020 soaking wet but bar, lounge etc. all closed no staff around so couldn’t get a hot drink and dry off before heading to room. Despite this it’s a lovely little place to stay

We stayed in a courtyard room and it was perfect. Parking is close by, and we were let in despite being an hour early. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom facilities were good. The only improvement would have been a heated mirror as the shower fogged the mirrors up, but otherwise it was fine. The staff were all very friendly, and that really was the highlight. We had lunch in the pub and that was very good, with an excellent apple crumble pudding. We went to an event and came back in the evening half an hour after the kitchen had closed. We were peckish, but did not expect more than a drink and a packet of crisps. Sam and Matt, the chefs, were in the bar and made us a very good roast beef sandwich, that was nicely presented in spite of it being late. We did not expect this, and it was all done in the most charming way. Becky in the bar was also excellent. We left feeling that we had experienced true hospitality. A great stay.

We were given a court yard room which did not have a window, just a door. It was cold when the heating was off, tgen too hot and stuffy with the radiator on. There was water noise outside the room and the door curtain did not close properly. Breakfast also very average.

We stayed for just one night, a special wedding anniversary celebration. We hear the premises has just been taken over by new owners. A gentleman in an overcoat and peaked hat helped us with a Firestick for our bedroom TV, we weren’t sure who he was, he didn’t introduce himself, sadly, but we were grateful. As he left for the evening, whilst we were sitting in the bar, his instructions to Becky were that she mustn’t let the fire go out, we liked that. Becky had already introduced herself, she had checked us in, shown us around and made us feel incredibly welcome and at home. We’d booked the bed, breakfast and dinner package and we ate our evening meal by the fire feeling very looked after by her. The Japanese style food was great, the wine list was very reasonable. We were in room 8, the ceiling light needs replacing, but the room was warm, clean, quiet and very comfortable. Although we had the option if either of us wished, to upgrade our continental breakfast to a cooked one, we thoroughly enjoyed the warm pastries, fruit, yoghurt and cheese and ham. We asked for butter which arrived in two pats put on to the table instead of on a dish, and I’ve seen from earlier reviews that we could have asked for toast, which I know my husband would’ve appreciated. But in fairness, most residents arrived for breakfast pretty much at the same time so we understood any misgivings, breakfast was great. What was missing if I’m to be a little bit picky was a thanks and farewell as we left, it’s just that it would’ve wrapped up that lovely little package that Becky had opened the night before. Hope to come back again in better weather to also use the pool.

The setting for this property is beautiful. There are some really quirky features and would love to visit again in the summer when we could enjoy the garden. Bedrooms were well equipped and bed comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. Continental breakfast was served all on one rather small plate, would have preferred a roll rather than a croissant with my ham and cheese but nice selection of fruit. We had a meal at the property and this was enjoyable but would have liked more vegetables.

No food available. No food on a Monday apparently, which as seen as place is in middle of nowhere, it would have been nice to be informed when booking. Then told breakfast is continental only with no choices!
