Ockenden Manor Hotel & Spa

Fabulous hotel with fantastic spa. We go when we are flying from Gatwick as 20 minutes from airport

The check in was very easy, the hotel was clean and nicely decorated. Unfortunately te spa (jacuzzi) was broken so we could not use it. We use the rest of the facilities but we discovered that children are only allowed 2 hours of the entire day! The restaurant did not have children’s menu, however they offered to do sausages and mash or burger however as our daughter is vegetarian we had to go and look for a restaurant. The worst thing was the inflatable bed they put in the bedroom for our daughter, which what you expect if you are glamping and not in a manor hotel well over £300 a night! Very disappointed, we had a terrible night sleep because of this as our daughter could not sleep.

We loved our stay at Okendon Manor Hotel, it is a beautiful period property, with a lot of character, a stunning traditional English garden, a great fine dining restaurant and one of the best spas I've been to. What more can you ask for for a relaxing getaway? Highly recommended!

The spa at Ockenden Manor is absolutely superb – quiet, friendly, and extremely welcoming. The staff create a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere, making it an ideal place to unwind. The hotel rooms, while a little dated in style, are comfortable and well stocked with all the amenities you could need for a pleasant stay. Overall, a lovely experience with the spa as the true highlight.

A lovely building but needs some upgrading as some areas run down. We was upset that the sauna was not open for the whole break and after trying to book the flotation tank this was also closed. We felt the costs were quite expensive for what we got

We had a wonderful stay at Ockenden Manor, the staff are lovely, service in the restaurant is excellent and very friendly. Shout out to the chef, each dish was beautifully presented and so delicious. We enjoyed every course and then took a walk around the gorgeous gardens. Our room (Luke) was spacious, beautifully decorated with views over the gardens and the bed super comfy. Relaxing in the spa and time around the outdoor pool made for a perfect mini break. We hope to return soon!

Lovely large room in spa building. Great spa facilities and grounds.

Superb room, excellent spa and fantastic food and wine! Couldn’t fault the 2 night trip my wife and I enjoyed and the massage was superb too! The spa facilities are great, very modern and lots to do!

We visited recently for our anniversary. The room was wonderful, super quaint and a good size for what we needed for a few days. The staff around the hotel were incredibly polite, friendly and always ready to help. Nothing was too much trouble whether it was minor changes on the cooked breakfast menu, or ordering us a taxi to the local vineyard. The location is excellent with walks nearby and the centre of the village is barely 2 minutes walk, yet the hotel is in a quiet back road with no noise. It meant we had choice of where to eat (hotel or village) and we mi ded it up during our stay. The hotel restaurant is lovely - small, yet doesn't feel cramped or noisy. We enjoyed breakfast on the terrace one morning, which was lovely, overlooking the gardens. The spa is fantastic - the staff are really helpful, and food and drinks are available throughout the day. We visited the spa a couple of days, and spent a full day there which was really enjoyable as the facilities are excellent both inside and outside. We both also enjoyed a lovely massage. This was not our first time at Ockenden, but we were only passing through last time, so it was wonderful to spend a few nights here.

One night spa stay post Christmas we were hoping for a relaxing break. The room 'Master' suite was absolutely beautiful and part of the old building. It was also decorated for Christmas which was a lovely touch. This was the highlight of our trip sadly it was downhill from here. The jacuzzi and outdoor hot tub were not working. With rainy cold weather we were looking forward to this and we're very disappointed. There was no offer of compensation for this which ruled our half the spa. The pool was nice but 5 mins into our swim was full of children who were loud and splashing, if the hot tub had been working we could have escaped outside. Our treatments which were 1hr massages only lasted 40 minutes. They included a consultation and time to get undressed. We arrived 20 mins early so we could avoid this and for £130 per massage felt completely ripped off. Dinner was very average and overpriced. The only dish we fancied on a £69 menu had a £10 supplement. The meal with a bottle of wine cost us over £200. I was astonished and again disappointed. The bar had no atmosphere no music or staff. Breakfast was OK. Overall a 1 night stay for use of a basic pool and average meal cost over a thousand pounds. I have no problem paying this for something special with great food and service but this trip fell very short

We have stayed previously but this was our first time staying above the spa. The room was fantastic. Great views, very comfortable bed, very clean and spacious. The service from all the staff we encountered was excellent, couldn’t have been more helpful. Restaurant food was delicious. Massage and facials were also excellent. We have come away feeling very relaxed.

Fantastic dinner - beautiful food. Excellent spa. Good attention to detail and a very sympathetically updated old house. Lovely staff.

Fantastic stay at Ockenden Manor very relaxing clean friendly relaxed atmosphere.

Lovely country retreat. Hotel is well kept, clean and has all the amenities you need. Lovely restaurant serving good quality food and most of all staff are super friendly and professional.

Lovely, traditional small hotel (the clue is in the name, its a manor house). Really enjoyed our stay, exceeded expectations, mainly due to the fantastic staff in all areas. I stay in many hotels and never have i had such friendly, helpful service in all parts of the hotel. Reception, bar and restaurant staff and spa were all absolutely lovely and nothing too much trouble - credit to the hotel. We had a suite and the bed was huge and comfortable, big free standing bath in the room too. Had a quick swim before checkout and the spa was nice too, much more modern than the hotel. Great outside area, would be great on a sunny day.

The only critique would be the king bed in Cuckfield / Edward room. It was very hard for us

Dinner was lovely, great wine choices, super to see a large selection of local wines. Spa pools areas wonderful. Shower in our room (Lily) was rubbish, water not hot enough, glass door didn’t open and water pressure not good. Pillows very disappointing, so flat and uncomfortable, couldn’t see any extra in room.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful old Manor House. The staff were so helpful, courteous and conscious of our needs because my husband has a little difficulty walking. Our room was a lovely bright room overlooking the garden and extremely comfortable. We would not hesitate to recommend The Ockenden Manor.

Really nice spot in the centre of the lovely little village of Cuckfield, the staff were really friendly and accommodating and the room we stayed in had a lot of nice character. The meal was really excellent and we were cared for to the nth degree. The spa facilities were pretty standard but everything you'd expect was there including a coffee machine to make a whole array of nice coffee drinks.

A lovely experience all round. Great room, lovely views. Only had top body massage but very good. Relaxing in and around the pool, nice chilled atmosphere. 99%. Of the staff were nice and friendly. One young dark skinned chap was notably miserable looking, noticed by more than just myself ( in the spa area) Breakfast was plentiful and tasty. Only downside was the toast did not come out with the cooked breakfast, had to remind them as did other tables. Waiter was very sociable and pleasant. Thoroughly recommend a visit/stay here.

Excellent hotel and staff

We had a lovely time! The spa was good, service friendly and the room really exceeded our expectations. Would love to visit soon!

Beautiful, cozy hotel tucked away in a little village. Charming country decor, tastefully designed and oozes history. Beautiful grounds with a modern spa, offering treatments, a pool and relaxation.

Fabulous hotel with fantastic spa. We go when we are flying from Gatwick as 20 minutes from airport

Super hotel in a wonderful location. Will definitely visit again soon.

The ladies in the dining staff were remarkable. Efficient, kind and just lovely. The dining areas were so charming, and our room was absolutely lovely (we stayed in the spa). Highly recommend - as well as the delightful pub just a short walk away!

Great location and the staff are absolutely fantastic

Lovely hotel, evening meal and breakfast were very good. Spa also very nice. Good package price. Keep up the good work
