We dined here one evening recently and found one of the important features of fine dining missing. Fine dining should look beautiful as well as taste good but the room was so dark it was impossible to see what you were eating. We like subdued lighting but this was ridiculous. We asked for the lighting to be turned up and... More

there is a slightly fawltyesque air to Ockenden Manor particularly evident in the older part of the hotel. Dont let it put you off as the Spa facilities, spa bedrooms and the restaurant are first rate. massage of a good standard, spa brand new and well set up, and clearly popular with the local ladies of leisure , got us...

No room numbers here... but room names! We were inside Hugh. Hugh was a big chap, he had floral curtains, a rickety wardrobe and a four poster bed. He must have been an Edwardian as we also had a roll top bath. But maybe not, the walk-in shower, my favourite feature, was very modern indeed. Cuckfield Manor could have been... More

We stayed here at the end of June last year. We had heard good things about the food so were keen to visit but had a disappointing experience with booking accommodation here. We phoned up to book a standard room after looking on the Internet and seeing there were suite, deluxe, superior and standard rooms available. However, when speaking to... More

Lovely combination of beautiful old hotel with loads of character and history, combined with an extremely stylish modern Spa complex. Spa suites are wonderful, loads of space and beautifully decorated with a very generous bathroom. The room opens out to a great roof terrace with plenty of area for relaxing and drinking. The Spa itself is great, lovely heated in-outdoor... More

A relaxing and luxurious one night stay at this lovely hotel. The spa facilities are excellent and I can particularly recommend the Reflexology session (thank you Chloe). The Spa bedrooms are extremely well-appointed with access to a quiet roof terrace to enjoy the sunshine and the countryside views. If you love cheese, the cheese trolley in the restaurant just has...

A one night treat at this pleasant if unexceptional hotel in mid - Sussex. A good (not very good) dinner in the restaurant the night before. Over-priced food but a wine list with some bargains. Sleeping well, I was awoken at 5.45am by a fire alarm siren in my room. On it goes. I evacuate. Strong smell of burning toast... More

Stayed here for w/e start of Fen 2013. The main hotel is quaint has a very small bar area with a small lounge and dining area. Dinning servers for both Breakfast and dinner. Unfortunately we were unable to taste their evening meals due to my illness. We received a room in the Spa area of the hotel over looking fields.... More

Stayed 3 nights just after Easter, on a DB&B basis in a deluxe room (upgraded by the hotel on booking). The rate I got was slightly (10%) better than published rates, but still not cheap. I would not have minded if it had lived up to the billing! First room had no shower. Second room had a shower, but was... More
