This hotel was my husband's choice. He's researched the history, and between 1832 and 1833 and again between 1840 and 1849 Anna Lefroy, Jane Austen's niece, lived at a cottage in the grounds, most probably the Garden Cottage. It was here that Anna finally plucked up the courage to become a writer like her Aunt Jane and her short story... More

On arrival, the hotel entrance is superb - very grand with a red carpet up the few steps. The reception staff were very pleasant, and the staff throughout our entire stay were very friendly and attentive. I had booked a courtyard room but was upgraded to an executive room (I had made a note on booking that it was for... More

Having been to a Wedding here a few years ago, I was looking for a hotel to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary and came across the 'Romance Package' and booked.

This is a lovely country hotel, the staff could not do enough for you, we stayed as part of a special deal, the food was excellent, the rooms were perfect with little things like fresh milk, nice coffee and spotlessly clean which so many top hotels fall down on. well worth a visit, we will be retuning More

The rooms are wonderful, the service is great and whilst the only meal I ate was breakfast was good if not quite as good as I had hoped for... More

Booked Oakley by chance as we left it too late to get something in - we were really glad we did! Only a short drive to Basingstoke, the hotel is stunning - rooms spacious (was lucky enough to have room 17), staff helpful and pleasant - cannot fault really, perhaps a tad expensive, but you feel like you get what...

We stayed here for the New Year's Eve Dinner and Dance and enjoyed every moment. We arrived at 2pm ( check in is 3pm ) but the room was ready so no problem. Check in was seamless with a very helpful and pleasant receptionist. We made our way into the courtyard which is through a security gate ( which is... More
