Oakley Court

10/10 Excellent
"Oakley Court is a beautiful hotel. The interiors manage to achieve both a sense of opulence and a feeling of being one’s own, at home. The spaces work equally well for a day time hang out but also provide cosy corner and fireplaces to sit alongside in the evening. Staff have a good balance of providing everything you need whilst still offering you privacy. We stayed in a Manor House room which are large on proportion, have a small seating area and lovely views of the gardens and river. We were also lucky enough to stay when the sun was shining and able to loose (willingly) hours to a watching the world go by on the lawn alongside the River. It gives a real sense of peace. The main Oakley Court menu is good but they also host guest chefs. Beyond the hotel there are a number of Michelin and Gastro style pubs that are a short taxi ride away. I’ve listed them on Instagram @takenbytoria It’s a would recommend and would return (hopefully soon)."
