A lovely place to stay with plenty of character and a peaceful setting. The manor has a charming atmosphere and is a good option for travellers looking for something a little different from a standard hotel. A few tips for future guests: check exactly what facilities are available and whether there are any additional charges before booking, particularly if you are travelling with children or planning to make use of specific amenities. It’s also worth confirming check-in times, parking arrangements and what is included in your room rate. Overall, Ockendon Manor is worth considering if you enjoy historic properties and a quieter setting. As with any stay, knowing exactly what is included before arrival will help you plan your trip and avoid surprises.

Ockenden manor was beautiful and staff very accommodating and friendly. We were also upgraded at check in which was a nice surprise. The room was beautifully designed, and bathroom and bedding were clean, although we did find two pieces of rubbish left behind by a previous guest in the room. Hotel guests can access the spa at no additional cost from 2pm on day of check in to 2pm on day of check out and the spa facilities were beautiful. Good vegan and veggie options at breakfast. We loved our stay and will definitely be back.

This was a beautiful little spa hotel in a cute village. We loved our room overlooking the garden, and the dinner and breakfast was great. We really enjoyed a 2 hour walk through the countryside one afternoon. The spa facility was also lovely and very peaceful.

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.
