Ockenden Manor Hotel & Spa

A beautiful location, along with superb hospitality!
Each area of hotel and grounds are beautiful, along with a nice, well equipped, spa. A big thanks to Nicola, Patricia, Faith, Lauren in the Spa, the lovely restaurant team, and everyone else behind the scenes. A great stay.

From the moment I arrived until it was time to say goodbye , I had the most wonderful time at the Ockenden Manor. The hotel was charming set in beautiful grounds and the staff made sure you had a warm welcome and looked after you. The bedroom was large with good quality facilities and I slept very well. The food was plentiful and tasty. The hotel is on a great location to explore the area. It was not cheap to stay here but you certainly got what you paid for.

A quiet country tranquil village
vibe with independent café 's , boutiques and more . Very easy going atmosphere and friendly personable staff throughout . Spa suites spacious and light with private outside terrace. The main manor house cosy and charming . Very friendly, personable staff .

We recently stayed at Ockenden Manor Hotel & Spa to celebrate my husband’s 50th birthday, and the entire experience was absolutely fantastic from start to finish.

From the moment we arrived, the team went above and beyond. Without us even requesting it, they had upgraded us to the Duplex Suite after noting that it was a special birthday celebration, which was such an incredibly thoughtful gesture and immediately made the stay feel extra special.

The hotel itself was beautiful — full of character, spotless throughout, and with a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. The spa was spectacular and genuinely one of the best parts of the stay. The facilities were amazing, and it felt luxurious without being pretentious.

Dinner was another highlight. At dessert, the staff surprised my husband with a celebratory birthday plate, which was such a lovely touch and really summed up the level of care and attention we experienced throughout our stay.

While this was definitely a special occasion treat for us and not something we could regularly afford, we enjoyed it so much that we would absolutely return in the future, even if staying in one of the more modest rooms, simply to experience the hotel and spa again.

Thank you to the entire team for making Jake’s 50th birthday so memorable.

Beautifully decorated and comfortable accommodation showing great attention to detail, located in a beautiful English village on a secluded site with gorgeous views, and delightful garden and grounds but a stone throw from the village high street. The food was delicious - the cooked manor breakfasts reminded me of childhood breakfasts with sausages and bacon that tasted as they should. food. Apart from the beautiful historic manor house and grounds, there is a beautifully designed modern spa wing with some rooms, large swimming pool, hot tub, immersion pods and all the spa treatments that you would expect. The in house toiletries and spa ointments and oils were effective and smelled wonderful. Warm, friendly and attentive staff sealed the deal. Well worth treating yourself or a loved one to

Beautiful charming old hotel. Set in a quiet little village. The rooms were very comfortable with fantastic interior

We booked an overnight dinner bed and breakfast stay for my birthday. We stayed Thursday to Friday. Positives:
Small and friendly hotel
Spa - good facilities and quiet
Dinner - food was excellent
Russell and 2 women serving in bar and restaurant in evening were excellent, friendly and attentive
Complimentary bubbles on arrival were a nice touch.
Not so good:
Shower in our room (Alice) impossible to use. Stood for ages adjusting taps a tiny bit and could only get very hot or cold water. I gave up. Luckily, I had showered in spa - excellent and powerful.
Breakfast - I ordered poached eggs and ate one of the 2 - one was overcooked and hard. Could offer more fresh fruit such as berries for yoghurt/cereal.
Price - Cost nearly £550 for 1 night and for that premium price I would expect a premium experience including a working shower.

If I returned, I would opt for a spa day.

We stayed here for one night to celebrate our anniversary. The staff, room, ambience and food were all incredible. It felt very special, the fizz on arrival and the complimentary anniversary sweet treats were very much appreciated. Special mention should go to Asha, Russell and Scott, but all the staff (whose names we didn’t get) were great. My husband used the spa during our stay, which he said was outstanding. A very relaxing experience all round.

Really lovely hotel. Great location in a small village with a variety of cafe’s and pubs. Rooms were lovely. Staff were friendly and helpful. Great spa. Nice and quite great for chilling out, good atmosphere.

Comfort, size of room and beautiful bathroom.

Not easy for an American to find. A very narrow land from the village to the Manor. Did not eat at the restaurant. Breakfast OK. room fine.

The mots horrendous experience. Avoid it at any cots!
Booked the room for me and my daughter directly with hotel. Talked to receptionist, that breakfast and dinner will be included in price. On check out I was made to pay £67 for my daughter's meal as apparently her and my rate was different. Receptionist was rude and dismissive. Food tasteless, low quality, ordered pork and it looked terrible. Room was boiling hot with no possibility to adjust the temperature.

Nice old charm.

Beautifully comfortable, quirky with beams and very luxurious

We had a very short break away just overnight, but we were able to arrive at 2.00pm and enjoy the extensive spa facilities before we were allocated a room. This was a very luxurious room with an extremely comfortable bed allowing the best sleep I have had in a long while. The facilities and surroundings were what you would want for a break away. A beautiful Manor House with comfortable reception rooms furnished with antiques and beautiful porcelain ornaments and wood panelling: it was like a National Trust property where you could actually feel at home, particularly as the staff were so welcoming and not even a hint of stuffiness you can sometimes experience from a hotel of this quality. It felt as though we had been away for much longer as we left feeling so relaxed. We will definitely be treating ourselves to a slice of this luxury again in the future.
