Located on the ground floor of the East Wing, this room has a beautiful view of the gardens, and a large white marble ornate fireplace, with a large gold framed mirror positioned above. The room has a green and gold scheme, with a walk-in wardrobe, and French glass doors leading to the cream bedroom.

This suite commemorates the family that owned Cliveden when it was destroyed in the disastrous fire of 1795. Three Countesses of Orkney resided in the house between 1751 and 1824. In 1795 the main mansion at Cliveden was burnt to the ground, apparently caused by the carelessness of a servant turning down a bed. Very few items of value were saved – although the Orkney tapestries now found in the Great Hall were rescued. The main mansion was destroyed but the wings survived and are the oldest parts of the house.
