Oakley Court

We had a superb time at Oakley Court. We were two families with four little kids between us. The mansion house rooms we had were large and beautifully appointed with views over the river. The beds are extremely comfortable and the room amenities are generous. The staff are incredibly warm and helpful, plus very patient with many questions. Our kids were ecstatic when they went into the walled gardens and tucked away they found the biggest bouncy castle ever (well bouncy Stonehenge, I should say -- you'll have to look it up, never seen anything like it!) The River House is of course delightful and we all enjoyed a balmy summer evening and dinner there. Everyone loved the pool/jacuzzi time in the morning and in the afternoon we went boating, which was a memorable trip amongst the swans. We loved all the touches in the hotel, from the unusual antique furniture to the well loved plants. The staff team make the place feel like a community which is a rare thing and much appreciated. We will definitely return!

A beautiful, quiet taste of English countryside. Be sure to visit the Michelin rated pubs in the tiny nearby town of Bray.

Absolutely wonderful!!

Amazing!

We came back here to celebrate an anniversary having visited 4 years ago! It is still a stunning venue with beautiful grounds. The joint venture with Soho House has uplifted some of the decor etc. but in terms of service it has been a significant decline. On first introduction the staff uniform feels in stark contrast with the style of venue and tone trying to be set and did not say '5 star hotel' more Holiday Inn Express. The room refurbishment is lovely, some art on the the very empty walls would be welcome and a larger TV considering how far it is away would also improve it. Also worth noting, if you're over 5' 10 you won't fit under the shower. The spa wasn't being used by any guests, the pool and hot tub were amazing. The dinner service is again very casual, sit anywhere etc. the staff were nowhere to be seen and when you did find someone they had no clue about the menu itself and considering the prices that's pretty disappointing. The breakfast equally, you have to push to get something a la carte other than the buffet which was enormously overpriced considering what was available. Overall, wonderful being able to revisit, the building is still stunning and the redecoration makes each space of the hotel enjoyable but the service throughout was poor and that is such a big part of the hotel experience.

Beautiful location. Wonderful people..thank you 🙏

Beautiful Property. Well appointed rooms. Attentive staff & tasty bites.

We were only able to stay one night, but it was the best stay of our lives. We didn't feel like customers for even a second... a case study in what it means to *be* a valued guest, not merely be treated like one. The staff was so attentive they made anything we'd experienced before pale. This level of service began before we even booked a room and continued past checkout while waiting for our ride. The meals and drinks were flawless. As for the building and the grounds, photos don't do them justice. We stayed in a Mansion House room and fell in love with it immediately. The views, decor, details and cleanliness... you couldn't ask for a more quintessentially British environment or better maintained spaces. Our sole complaint is that we didn't book a longer stay. Next time we will.

Set I lovely grounds , a lot of rooms of tables and comfortable chairs but quite uncomfortable for eating dinner.

Overall, the food was expensive, relative to the quality and options available (ie. Tomato pasta for £17, Cheeseburger & Fries for £22, Very small slice of toast with Avocado for £12.) The buffet was nicely presented, although would suggest more options again (ie. Granola, but no yogurt or fresh fruit to compliment) and I liked that it you could go back and get more food. The rooms were nice, although small changes could make these exceptional (ie. The gym bathrooms have Dyson hairdryers so why not in the bedrooms bathrooms, tv were small relative to the size of the wall and distance from the bed). Separate shower would’ve been nice, given the unnecessary large space in the actual bedroom, although recognise this would require much larger renovation work. The atmosphere in the drinks rooms by the fire was relatively subdued which would’ve been helped by a piano/music that wasn’t playing the same song! Gym was useful, although relatively basic. Same with swimming pool.
