Provider-sourced guest reviews.
We didn’t stay - my daughter and I simply popped in to enquire about weddings there. The rather snooty receptionist looked at us and said they only did exclusive weddings, which involve all 90 bedrooms, and were we still interested?! He more or less took one look and assumed it would be out of our budget. Awful! No way would we want to hold a wedding there if some of the staff are like that.
Oakley Court is a stunning hotel, with plenty to like but plenty of disappointments - especially given the price. The positives: a room upgrade on arrival. Always a good start. Staff are generally very courteous and helpful. The decor and the ambience of the hotel are delightful. The negatives: £25 per person each for breakfast, which is a pretty limited buffet. Nobody actually tells you the cost of this, you just discover it when checking out. The prices on the dinner menu are laughable. £29 for a poke ball, £15 toasties, £29 for a small beef burger with no fries, £20 for a pizza. The food was fine but not outstanding. Oh, and don't forget the service charge added to everything, including the get it yourself breakfast. The spa is fine but small and dated. The steam room is just some big smelly plastic box, and the sauna was out of order for the duration of our stay. Not quite luxury. The room got crazy hot in the night. We tried operating the aircon but it just blasted intermittently. Oh and don't nick any of the tiny toiletries! There's signs telling you not to. Very welcoming. Finally, my wife had a bath which somehow caused a leak in the downstairs room. Cue several visits from maintenance men and no apology for the disruption from hotel management.
I booked a long weekend with my daughters and one fiancé as a surprise break for them- initially choosing it as a venue because of the Rocky Horror connection. We’re all fans, and i thought it would please them. As a surprise it worker beautifully, and as a stay it was even better, surpassing anything i could gave hoped for. The Court itself is of course beautiful. The grounds are stunning. The most impressive part by a long way was the staff who could not have done anything more to make it a wonderful and memorable break for all of us. We pushed the boat out on Friday and joined the Chef Akira Japanese fusion tasting experience. It was a very lively, fun crowd of just 12 and wirth every penny. Stunningly good food, ably hosted, beautifully presented. Could not recommend this place enough. I absolutely loved every second of it thank you, all x
We went here for my Husband’s 70th birthday and had a lovely stay. We stayed in the boathouse in one of the large river views and it was huge. Very comfortable King sized bed, separate seating area with armchairs, sofa and table , 2 TV’s, bath/shower stocked with cowshed toiletries, i bought the body scrub as it was so nice. The room came with coffee & tea, little fridge with water coke and milk, plus a welcome home made cookie. There was also a snack box with crisps, popcorn and other goodies like chocolate and jelly tots. The hotel is stunning, so many areas of beauty and interest, lots of different places to sit and enjoy the surroundings. We ate lunch on the terrace and i had the chicken salad which was superb, must try this. Husband had a burger, we had pizzas for evening meal. The breakfast was very good, lots of choice to help yourself and you can order omelettes etc if you want. I have full English and peanut butter and banana on rye bead, plus greek yoghurt and strawberries. There is a swimming pool, with steam room and sauna, plus jacuzzi and a full gym. We used all but the gym. The grounds are amazing, it is right on the river and boats gently pass up and down. At night the trees are all lit up like a fairy grotto, i loved it here. The staff were great, the service was excellent and everyone was very professional yet friendly. We had a wonderful stay, thank you.
We were visiting Legoland and meeting friends and this was a good location. Turned out to be a great location and a great hotel. Staff were very welcoming and helpful on arrival and during our 2 night stay. Food was lovely , we had an evening meal and breakfast really good. Lovely hotel lots of amazing rooms to sit in. Bedroom was really nice with a view over the river which was stunning. The outside space was spectacular and we popped over to the 'River House' on the Sunday afternoon where there is a great 'Ibiza Vibe' going on - lovely sushi and pizza available and nice little bars - really buzzing but relaxing. My 9 year old and I loved the pool , so clean and the water was clear and not full of chlorine. Next time we would like to spend more time at the hotel relaxing and riding the complimentary bikes. All in all it is a stunning hotel with a relaxed feel about it. Would definitely recommend it.
Beautiful hotel. Perfect stay with our toddler
The building inside is looking sad and tired Staff on check in were really not very informative re what was cover in the booking and where everything was Cocktail were very expensive £16.00 each
Needs a refurb- great families but rough round the edges.
Ah, what a delightfully exclusive experience—assuming, of course, you're lucky enough to have booked an overnight stay (or maybe just wandered in from a period drama set). The building is stunning, the surroundings are lush, and the vibe? Oh, pure faux-member’s club chic—you know, the kind where you're neither a member nor particularly welcome. I wasn’t even offered a humble glass of tap water (unless you are a guest you can't order ANYTHING) Instead, I was graciously directed to the nearby Monkey Island resort—a clearly well-trodden path for fellow “non-guests” like myself. Always nice when a hotel has an official overflow venue for their unwanted visitors. And the staff? So warm and welcoming—NOT!!! Completely aligned with a fellow reviewer who noted the distinct lack of warmth. I’m guessing smiles are reserved strictly for those who pay for a suite and perhaps their soul. As a proud member of all the Soho Houses and their charming summer pop-up next door, I mistakenly assumed there might be some connection here. Silly me! Mea culpa, indeed. Should’ve known better than to think a place advertising afternoon tea to the general public would actually, you know, serve it. Apparently, the website hasn’t been updated “in a couple of years.” Charming touch of vintage web maintenance. So if you're ever in the area and craving a taste of elitism without the credentials, and enjoy being gently (or not-so-gently) turned away, this is absolutely the place to not be.
From beginning to end, Oakley Court offers a beautiful, luxury, quintessentially British, riverside hotel experience. With the added bonus of access to Soho Riverhouse through a gate at the bottom of the garden, this summer stay was exceptional. All of the staff were approachable and friendly, my room was stunningly clean and well maintained, the bed was very comfortable, and I slept peacefully through the night. The room service breakfast was served piping hot and representative of the luxury experienced elsewhere on-site. Whilst I can imagine a stay here might be very different if the weather didn't allow you to enjoy the outdoor space, sitting by the river and enjoying drinks and good food in the shadow of the beautiful manor was well worth the price paid. There's also plenty of lounge and bar seating indoors should the heavens open, but I personally enjoyed the ambience of being by the river the most. I'd happily stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for something truly special in the Windsor area. You'd pay a lot more for a lot less elsewhere in London.
Unpleasant staff and manager and weird atmosphere. The place is almost empty - and perhaps they want to keep it that way.
Beautiful lake view
One of the best hotels i have ever stayed in. The owners and every member of staff so friendly and helpful. Will gladly stay again in the future.
I definitely
We had amazing stay there! Room was well cute, equipped and comfortable. We’d love to come back
The main building is stunning, and many of the annnex rooms have been remodeled. A spot that is especially appealing to those who enjoyed the Rocky Horror Picture sShow. It also has housed a large number of Hammer, Horror, films, such as Christopher Lee’s Dracula! Summer pop up being operated by SoHo House looks interesting, but we were unable to sample it, only open on weekends. A truly beautiful setting on the River Thames! Great service, nothing stuffy! Only hiccup was air-conditioning in room. You might want to check its operation when you arrive to make sure you’re not going to have a warm evening! Thankfully, it is England and the temperature was lovely at night! The restaurant had an interesting menu. No set dining room, you choose which room in the mansion you would like to sit while dining or having cocktails. Very nice!
Wonderful stay for girlfriend’s birthday, good vibe and beautiful surroundings. Sauna and steam room could have an update but otherwise fantastic. Food superb.
Really disappointed with my visit to the river house..For such a fantastic location and great potential I feel it’s wasted.I know it’s not known for the food there as in big restaurants and a vast menu but again loads room for improvement… lobster linguine my wife ordered was terrible with one piece of of lobster,in there defence they took two portions of the bill but I would rather pay and enjoy my evening.As a local I’ve been several times but this visit by far was the worst experience.Service was really slack from certain servers not all but some..the toilets were unclean which we had to mention..just felt grubby everywhere!! I noticed on entry there was a dried patch of vomit which wasn’t good.Price for the premixed picante which I normally love were made with no passion at all so generally value for money at the moment I wouldn’t recommend I’m afraid.Generally overall a disappointment.
It’s a lovely location and the main building has several beautiful rooms to spend time in. The grounds are prettily landscaped and the places to sit by the river are really nicely done. The rooms are quite spacious and comfortable, but it’s here that you start to smack into the list of “buts” referred to in the title. Rates vary each day, but on the Saturday the rate for our room was over £400 excluding breakfast, which in effect means heading well towards £500 including breakfast and the obligatory service charge (more on that later). So to have towels with labels saying they have a security tag and a note saying you’d be charged if you take toiletries felt very cheap - like a budget hotel in a city centre. I mentioned that the grounds are nice, but on the Sunday morning there were bottles and glasses from the night before by the river and little things like some of the paths having weeds growing up through them. Not terrible, just not premium. 12.5% service charge at breakfast despite mostly you have to get it yourself. Having had our second breakfast I noticed someone getting a menu, but we were never offered one. There was also a weird example of patchy service - cups of coffee ordered individually and when second cups were brought old dirty cups were not removed. On a table of six they soon mounted up. Second day, as we sat down for breakfast as group of six we gave our three room numbers. However, two rooms got the correct charge and the third was charged for six breakfasts - again seemed to be a sign of patchy service / poor staff training. This was sorted out at checkout, but was a really odd sort of error. Didn’t try the outside restaurant, so we had the informal menu. Burger was certainly “well done” and was very very small. Overall….not terrible, but just not as nice as it could have been.
Well I have not actually been to this hotel, as my booking, made back in January, has been unilaterally cancelled this week, by the hotel due to an "Exclusive Use Event". Given our trip to the UK has been planned to include several hotel bookings, this is very poor behaviour from a hotel in cancelling a booking made many months before. I have had no choice but to make alternate arrangements at short notice, and additional cost. I would be wary of booking with this hotel, given the uncertainty that we experienced.
Beautiful hotel - the rooms, the main building, the grounds are all lovely. Spa is tired-looking and - in the two days we were there - seemed to be unattended. Dirty towels and paper cups were piled up for 24 hours next to a lounger. Service was slow and some of the staff were dismissive/rude to my wife. Disappointing because the first couple of staff members we met when checking in were great.
We recently held a 3-day training event at Oakley Court, and I genuinely couldn’t be more impressed with the experience. From the moment we arrived to the final goodbye, everything ran seamlessly. The entire team made sure no request was too much — and their support played a huge role in the success of our event. A huge thank you to Alaa and his team, who truly went above and beyond. Their flexibility, professionalism, and deep expertise shone through at every turn. Alaa not only helped us stay on top of the logistics but also suggested thoughtful improvements that enhanced the overall experience. His knowledge, calm manner, and proactive support made all the difference. All 33 attendees stayed over at the hotel, and without exception, they were incredibly impressed — not only by the level of service but also by the fantastic food throughout and the comfort of the rooms. Everyone commented on how well they slept and how cared for they felt. When it came to our team-building events, Alaa and the team pulled out all the stops. They created a warm, welcoming, and energising atmosphere that struck the perfect balance between professional and relaxed. We had participants travel from across Europe and Hong Kong, and every single person was blown away by the venue and service. From IT support to room layout, every detail was handled with care and precision. Staff were always on hand, incredibly friendly, and quietly efficient in keeping everything running smoothly. The variety of meeting and dining spaces also made planning easy and gave us great flexibility throughout. We truly felt supported and well looked after at every stage. This was, hands down, some of the best service I’ve experienced anywhere. I’ll absolutely be recommending Oakley Court to colleagues and contacts — and I’m already looking forward to coming back for some personal time at the hotel soon. Huge thanks again to everyone involved — your hard work, professionalism, and warmth didn’t go unnoticed.
Great staff
Good - Staff were nice on arrival but no one got up to greet us or help us with luggage when we checked in. Were given use of bikes for the afternoon and told where to go/given helpful map. Two guys who dealt with us were really nice but after that, no one was! Room was nice and clean, bed comfy and big, view lovely, nice touch with a small birthday cake, refreshments free, grounds beautiful. That's all I have... Bad - At check in we weren't given rundown of when check out was, what time breakfast finished etc as you usually would in a hotel. Spa is atrocious and old and although clean was not tidy. Piles of wet towels by side of pool on afternoon we arrived and still there 24 hours later (plus more)! The steam room etc really manky. Staff are too laidback and casual in their (what I have read) new uniforms. Apparently smart ones were intimidating but I found new ones made staff too relaxed and lazy. I didnt know who was staff, who was a gardener, who may have been a maintenance man, who may have been a DPD delivery driver (you get the point). We went to bar before heading out to dinner and had to go and ask for menus, they weren't brought to us, went and got them myself, then had to return to get drinks. It wasnt busy but they did have a corporate event on (so take note unless you're corporate you probably wont get service you hope). Towels in bedroom were striped crusty things like the ones in the spa and the hand towels and bath mat were white and soft so didnt even match. When I opened the door after arriving to ask housekeeping a question I was met by 2 x Indian men and one didnt say anything and the other said "Yea?". I was gobsmacked. Breakfast on day of checkout we arrived at 10am and were given frosty looks (maybe breakfast ended at 10am but who knew right?). We sat down and no one offered us any information about breakfast so I had to (again like night before) get up and ask for menus. Then I had to ask again about the buffet which was looking a bit worse for wear by this time. Chose 2 x poached eggs on seeded toast. Asked that they were NOT runny. Listened to one of them singing a song in their own language while we waited. Came with 1 slice of tiny bread and waiter walked off. I had to ask for condiments inc butter and he wandered off and took a phone call whilst collecting it all. It was cold by the time we ate it and my eggs were runny. Hungover and hungry I couldn't be bothered to interact and wait for Mr Moody pants again. At the end as he cleared plates he asked how it was so I truthfully told him that they were runny and it wasnt great (for £12 was awful!) and he wouldn't even look at me, let alone reply. I walked out and complained to some white T shirt wearing man how bad mannered the last man was and he just smiled awkwardly and said sorry. I walked, despite this, to reception and cheerily approached a heavily made up girl in reception with a big smile and said "Morning, is check out time 11am"? She looked up at me with moody eyes and simply said "Yeah". That was it. "Yeah". I walked off and muttered under my breath that it seemed all the staff had got out of bed on the wrong side that day. 5 mins later in our room we got a call from her saying we could check out at 12. Perhaps another T shirt wearing member of staff had berated her for her moodiness, who knows. We stayed in the garden until 2pm and left. Sadly we wont go back purely based on the service (and awful staff attire) which is in the toilet at this beautiful hotel. The staff need some serious training in manners too.
The hotel is amazing, gardens lovely sloping down to the river, Japanese restaurant - WOW, great service ,bedrooms very comfortable with complimentary snacks, used the boats on the river, definitely will be returning. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
Beautiful property!
Beautiful hotel by the river thames for a relaxing stay
We go to Oakley court few times per year and we love it.
I am writing to express my deep disappointment and dissatisfaction with my recent stay at river house Windsor. I had high expectations given by your reputation, but unfortunately, the experience was far from satisfactory due to what appears to be a disordered employee management system. During my stay at river house Windsor, I faced a rather distressing situation. I discovered that £400 of cash I had in my backpack went missing. I immediately reported this issue to the hotel staff, I was appalled by the lack of an appropriate response. There were no effective countermeasures put in place to address the problem. Instead of showing concern and taking steps to assist, the staff seemed indifferent, Instead of comforting me right away, the assistant manager said he will take this as accusation? I was just describing what had happened, I was just seeking for help. I tried to report the issue to the superior department and asked the staff if the manager was there today. Only then I realize that he had been right next to me the whole time, witnessing the entire process. However, he never came over to talk to me on his own initiative. I reached out to speak to the manager, standing by without offering any form of comfort or practical help which made me feel extremely helpless and frustrated. This lack of concern and follow - through is unacceptable. The Easter family trip was supposed to be a joyous and relaxing occasion, filled with laughter, and the simple pleasures of spending time together with my elderly mum and little one. However, what transpired was far from our expectations. To our great dismay, we encountered such an unpleasant situation that it's truly intolerable. I believe Soho house should uphold the highest standards of service and customer care, and part of that is having a well - organized employee management system. In this case, the system has clearly failed. I spent about 60days in the hotel worldwide last year, I have never encountered such an experience before. I hope that you will take this matter seriously, conduct a thorough review of your employee training and management protocols, and take steps to prevent such incidents from happening again in the future.
Unable to give review as we were turned away as non-residents! Unusual policy.... We had enjoyed previous visits to Oakley Court (admittedly some time ago!) prior to the extensive refurbishment so had hoped for a cuppa in the sun. Very disappointing. It does look good though!
Trips into Windsor, and Oxford boat race training is done on the river that runs by the hotel. The have a spa, and swimming pool in the hotel, and have a great history of film making at the hotel starting in the 1950s, which should be of interest to movie fans.
Very odd experience it was like being in a ghost hotel half the hotel seem to be closed down with the only ones eating dinner conservatory very tired a real shame the amount of plants in the dining areas with no pots cobwebs and looked very unkempt spoilt the ambience of the rooms The dim lighting in the evening made it very difficult to see in certain rooms, especially in the library. The only room really lit up and looked ready for guest was the lounge area. The menu seemed too extravagant for just the two of us dining there and I was uncertain how fresh the food would be knowing that they were catering for minimal guests a lady found out there were less than 10 guests in that night spa facilities very . No guidance on how to use the facilities on where to go or where to get towels from the steam room wasn’t very good and the sauna is neither the sauna seem to be working at home overall very overpriced for the surface we got at this particular time I appreciate it’s out season Therefore the price should reflected the service and amenities available at that time
I recently stayed at the Oakley Court hotel in Windsor and was impressed by its historical ambiance and impeccably maintained grounds. The main building is particularly striking when illuminated at night, and the lawns leading down to the river create a beautiful view. The room was spacious and clean, and the staff were friendly and attentive. I especially enjoyed the variety of amenities, including the indoor pool and the option to rent bicycles for rides around the property. I recommend this hotel for family vacations and history enthusiasts.
We had a fabulous stay here. Very relaxing and homely and the staff are superb
Functional weekend away hotel in the winter.
Lord of the Manor feel. Staff excellent. Real fireplaces in sitting room. 5 star quality. The bedrooms in main propert are worth the extra. Breakfast is excellent.
Was a lovely get away. Was during Storm Darragh and was the perfect location for cosyness with the fire roaring and just very relaxing
Beautiful Victorian building with fascinating providence. Seemed eerily familiar. Staff and service super attentive but discreet. Food and menus a pleasure with local produce. Rooms very comfortable. We felt very relaxed and at home.
For all of its English quirky charm and beautiful setting, we will visit again. Wonderful
Another wonderful stay. Amazing romantic location by the river. The grounds are stunning and felt very well looked after. The staff were attentive and showed a lot of care to make our stay enjoyable. Food was really good and there was something for everyone, it was nice to see some farm to table options on the menu although next time we are going to try and get in to see chef Akira for the sushi tasting menu which looks amazing. The interiors are very inspiring with stylish antique furniture, really looking forward to coming back.
It’s an unorthodox hotel - everyone is friendly but there’s not really a restaurant or bar - just rooms and the “soho house” area adjoined as the focus. Just not what we were looking for at all. Breakfast was a range of options laid out on a table- no facilities to keep yoghurt etc chilled. No fruit. no al a carte option. Very disappointing for £26 per person!
A unique Gothic property, welcoming, beautiful view from the room (even without the river view), lovely walks, atmospheric. Highly recommended.
Booked last minute last Friday, a bit dubious about going so near to home but so pleased we chose to stay. The hotel's look and feel are fantastic, and the location right by the Thames is just brilliant. We could have sat all day watching the world go by, didn't need any other entertainment. The team at the hotel were brilliant, friendly, and attentive, remembered what drinks we were having and were always available to help out. The room was amazing, large, well equipped with stunning views and due to SH tie up SH toiletries. It was also the first hotel we have stayed at for years that had an atmosphere (and people!!) post dinner in the lounge areas. Was great that guests were able to choose their own music on the record player. Highly recommend and can't wait to go back.
Amazing experience! quality rooms, restaurants and bars. Grounds are lovely with great amenity offering.
Beautiful property. Views over the river. Staff excellent. Food excellent. Rooms clean and large. May need a PhD in plumbing to operate the shower.
Love the garden and river, pool is nice and snacks and drinks are appreciated.
The hotel staff demonstrated exemplary professionalism and hospitality
Beautiful grounds and property. Staff was incredible, we were able to check in early and checkout late which is a major plus. Only downside was a ton of children around as well as yappy, misbehaved dogs. Walls are very thin, so we were woken up by screaming kids and aggressive barking little dogs a few times.
Perfect and luxurious.
We love this place! The staff are super welcoming and attentive - the grounds are gorgeous and the food is delicious. Rooms have everything you could need or want. We’ll be back!
A beautiful, quiet taste of English countryside. Be sure to visit the Michelin rated pubs in the tiny nearby town of Bray.
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!
Amazing!
Absolutely wonderful!!
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.
Beautiful place. Excellent staff.
Oakley Court is a truly beautiful building in a truly beautiful location and we stayed for one night. The staff were very cheerful, the room was lovely, bed very comfy and the house is lovely but eerily quiet as there were no other guests. Buffet breakfast was (I think) overpriced at £25 per head, with few choices…..and no fresh fruit. A basket of toast should have been sourdough, rye or pain de campagne not two white slices and two brown, but the poached eggs were lovely and the coffee was great. If you’re looking for WOW, I believe you can find a better option for a similar cost. We stayed at The Ritz pre-Covid and had buckets of WOW for not a great deal more.
Invited my husband for a night away, check-in earlier (great!) only to find our room full of ladybirds. Reported to reception, which showed a lack of urgency and didn't keep us promptly updated. They sent the cleaning team in to chase the ladybirds away and in we went again to the same room, only to find it infested again. After 2 hours of arriving, we are finally moved to a different room. Not a gesture to apologise after we paid for their most expensive room. Poor service shows they don't value clients enough and, especially, don't pay attention to the rooms before they're handed over to guests.
We have stayed here lots of time
Property is unique A great stay with luxury throughout
Very very nice hotel with lots of in room perks. Would have loved to be able to explore the property more but weather wasn't ideal. Only problem was the wifi was unreliable which was frustrating considering the price of the room.
Wonderful service!
Absolutely marvellous - couldn't fault it
Website doesn't do it justice, fabulous boutique style gorgeous hotel, even on a dull November day, it was lit up with tasteful candles and decor, comfortable nooks to lounge in with real fires and scented diffused throughout. Service was impeccable, amazing cocktails and house menu. Only disappointed to not get access to Riverhouse as was being prepped for Ice Rink/Christmas periodl. Would highly recommend, we will be returning.. also note very dog friendly and super comfy beds with lots of freebie snacks in rooms. Little touches go a long way!
Really nice room. Very helpful staff.
Just had a family weekend at Oakley Court - it was absolutely fantastic. We had the most fabulous time, they looked after us unbelievably well including an amazing dinner in a private room on Saturday night to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary - we had an absolute ball it was lovely.
I stayed for one night in Oakley Court the night before my Investiture at Windsor Castle. The hotel and its grounds are beautiful and the public rooms are furnished and decorated to a high standard in a sort of neo-British country house style. The attention to detail was what you’d expect in a hotel of this calibre with fresh flowers and house plants throughout the hotel – including in the bathroom, which is not something many hotel bathrooms have these days. Breakfast was a buffet affair although there was an a la carte option available too. Other than breakfast, I didn’t dine in the hotel but the bar area, of an evening, was delightful with a gaggle of guests from around the world. All in all, a fitting place to stay for such a special occasion. Highly recommended.
Beautiful hotel on a gorgeous 35 acre property. Spacious room with comfortable bed. Courteous and helpful staff. Only 20 minutes drive from Heathrow airport. My wife and I love this hotel and highly recommend it.
The hotel is gorgeous. Located next to the Thames river. Super nice landscaped grounds. We enjoyed the outside bar and seating area. The vibe was great. We will defiantly come back next time we are in Windsor.
Lots to like at this lovely property; very nice grounds and quaint setting along the Thames. Lots also not to like. Food is wildly overpriced because there are no easy options outside the hotel. The common rooms are really beautiful, but its very difficult to find a room to read that's actually quiet, because they have music playing throughout the facility. They're appealing to a trendy London crowd, and that's fine, but if you just want a quiet place to read and reflect, you can probably do better, and certainly cheaper. If you're young and on trend and want to bring your dog to drink with your family, this is a charming place. If you're old and want peace and quiet and reasonably priced food, not so much.
I have high standards and was really very impressed by this hotel. The website doesn't do it justice, It's a stunning property, the decor is warm and cosy. The grounds are beautiful, the Soho house annex is fabulous. I stayed in the main house, enchanting! Did not want to leave and will definitely go back! Amazing location, close to Windsor and 20 mins easy drive to Heathrow.
I was returning to the US via Heathrow, and needed a short break before my long flight to LAX. I decided to stay 20 min from the airport in the country. Oakley Court was a great choice. A hotel with character, on the river, with a swimming pool, bikes, boats, a full English breakfast, etc. I rode the hotel along the river 4 miles to Windsor Castle and then back. A great workout before another LONG flight! They took great care of me and helped me with maps to ride to Windsor Castle. A very memorable stay. I'll go back again. Plus, it's Dr Frankenfurter's house!
Lovely relaxing stay
Really great hotel. Has the collab with Soho house riverhouse which makes for a great vibey stay! Swimming pool probably needs updating but I kinda liked the charm!
Everything was great.
Absolutely fabulous place to stay .Amazing surroundings so wonderful its right on part of the Thames so lovely to relax in the swinging chairs in the evening watching the boats go by. Loved this place didn’t want to leave.Staff are also excellent…idillic place to stay.
A lovely country house and ex-school converted into a boutique hotel. Grounds and veranda are beautiful and great site on the bank of the river. Friendly staff, generous rooms well appointed with snacks and drinks included. Would happily return.
Totally relaxing. Beautiful grounds. So focused on customer service with very attentive staff. Absolutely recommend. Will revisit
Our third time staying here and there have made a number of changes since last time.. All for the better! Impeccable service, wonderful food and fantastic grounds. We will be back (again).
Really chilled, relaxing hotel. Graciously decorated, beautiful setting....just wished could have been there for longer. It was just a one night stay. Was so close to London though feels like will be back again but this time for more than one night.
Beautiful hotel in front of the river with beautiful staff
The property is lovely and a great stay for the summer. Checkin could have been a bit slicker- I was advised that I could stay to use the facilities past check out - I had to inform the receptionist that there was an event the following day and that I couldn’t stay past 11am. Valet service is available but I wasn’t told about this- again by the receptionist. They need to work on their dinner menu - if u have travelled to get there you want to be able to eat well once you arrive. Toasters and pizza isn’t really what I expected. They seem to focus all their efforts on private events- I was told I had to leave the premises by 11am once I had booked. It doesn’t lend for a relaxing stay with a rush to use the facilities. I paid nearly £500 for the night- it wasn’t a £500 p/night experience. The gym needs work! Too cluttered disorganised. I went to work out but the space put me off - so I gave up. The spa, gym pool area needs developing to match the rest of the property.
Amazing hotel
Great room with view of river. Crews rowing and great chairs to sit by the Thames. Beautiful building with great rooms for dining and hanging out. Didn't get to use the pool/exercise area but it looked nice.
Found this on Expedia and glad we did. Not only is it an elegant country house right on the Thames in a well manicured 35 acre park, the touches throughout are well done while keeping the historic architecture in focus. Loved the turntables in the public rooms! I could spin Roxy Music and other choices with an after dinner drink by one of the many working fireplaces. Nice amenities in the rooms, too! We had dinner here 2/3 nights and the breakfast buffet we had on departure day was nice as well. Nice staff. The backstory of the hotel being used for the Hammer Studios classic horror films made it all the more appealing! Definitely would stay again and use the health club, pool, and rent a boat! Close to Windsor for shopping and restaurants yet a world away.
Stunning hotel set in beautiful grounds
