We had our wedding at Oakley Court in April and we couldn't have had a better day. The hotel is simply amazing and the staff go above and beyond to make everything exceptional. The service from start to finish was faultless. Many thanks to our wedding planner Grace, Katie and the rest of the team for all their help in making the day run smoothly. We couldn't recommend them enough and can't wait to visit again!

Beautiful hotel and staff. I stayed in the garden section. The rooms were updated and clean and spacious. I had stayed here several years ago and the rooms needed updating so I'm glad to see they did it. The food selections are limited but the cocktails are wonderful. There is no shortage of places to enjoy the view. We had an event here and the staff was excellent. I'd come back here again and again. My favorite part was breakfast in the morning outside on a beautiful sunny morning

Came for a family wedding and rooms that had been booked were not available and everything was very disorganized. Staff untrained and food below standards and over priced for such a huge establishment. The rooms were nice enough and the grounds were very picturesque however would not recommend

We had our wedding here 21st May 2022 and it did not disappoint. Covid messes up several dates but the wedding was worth the wait. The tea tent on the river was beautiful, with all the little details of wild flowers in the glass vases. The team were insane, attentive and the day run like clockwork. The food. on our menu tasting it was amazing and I was dubious that in mass it might not be as good but it was incredible and all of our guests were blown away.
They dealt with allergies also and has separate canapes for guest with allergies which was a nice touch. Special thanks to Katie and Grace on the day you really did outdo yourselves and your such a credit to Oakley Court. Thank you so so much. Would recommend this hotel to Any prospective couples looking for a beautiful venue.
