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.

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.

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!

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 very relaxing break
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.

Lovely hotel- not very family friendly
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.

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
