Check-in to your Georgian manor house retreat in the Hampshire countryside. Dating back to 1795, Oakley Hall Hotel is a magnificent country house hotel set in a 315-acre estate. Beyond its rural surroundings, both the M3 and Basingstoke are a ten-minute drive away.
Bedrooms offer a high level of comfort with free Wi-Fi, flat screen smart TV with movies, complimentary digital newspaper and luxurious Algotherm eco-friendly toiletries. Many have super king beds and air-conditioning. The split level Courtyard Coach House and Clocktower Suites offer a large lounge; top floor Four Poster Suites feature emperor-size beds and enjoy stunning views over the grounds. Several rooms showcase period features including fireplaces and picture windows. Oakley Hall Hotel is great for families – spacious rooms with sofa beds, mini toiletries, children’s bathrobes and slippers, and children’s afternoon teas are all available. The gingerbread-style, three-bedroom Garden Cottage in the hotel grounds has a private terrace and its own parking.
Enjoy sumptuous dining in the award-winning Glasshouse Restaurant. The seasonally-changing menus showcase the very best of local and home-grown (kitchen garden) produce, with a ‘field to fork’ philosophy and commitment to prioritising suppliers in the surrounding area. Oakley Hall is a wonderful spot for an afternoon tea: three tiers laden with homemade scones, cakes, pastries and sandwiches – if the weather’s right, pull up a seat on the terrace and gaze out over the lush lawns and grounds. The 1795 Bar & Lounge gives a nod to the hotel’s heritage, but its beautifully modern interiors are a fabulous place to start the evening with pre-dinner drinks, a G&T (local Bombay Sapphire highly recommended), a local ale or good coffee.
Take time to explore the grounds – there’s a running trail and woodland walk. Or grab a picnic from the Glasshouse Restaurant and find a spot in the sunshine to enjoy your delicious treats. A host of attractions are within easy reach – Bombay Sapphire Distillery, The Vyne (National Trust), Silchester Roman City Walls & Ampitheatre and Jane Austen’s birthplace and house (Jane Austen regularly visited friends at Oakley Hall when it was a private residence).
Oakley Hall Hotel has 7 meeting spaces – its Garden Pavilion is one of the largest, most flexible event spaces in Hampshire, with state-of-the-art lighting and AV, its own bar and a private terrace, perfect for summer BBQs and drinks receptions. With 315 acres of grounds, there’s no shortage of space for outdoor team building which the team can happily arrange.

Food & Drink
Glasshouse Restaurant
The Glasshouse is all about home-grown, hearty food served up in a laid-back setting. Masterful cooking and innovative dishes have earned the team a clutch of accolades including two AA Rosettes; the Gold Beautiful South Award for Restaurant of the Year; and a Bronze 'Taste of England' award (Visit England).
The restaurant follows a 'field to fork' philosophy, taking care to source the finest quality local produce. You can't get more local than the hotel kitchen garden – originally laid out in 1860 and brought back to life in 2012 it provides seasonal fruit, vegetables and herbs including apples, peaches, figs, plums and berries. These fresh, home-grown ingredients and local produce take pride of place on the menus.
Picnics can be ordered from the restaurant – when the sun shines grab a blanket, take a stroll and find the perfect spot to settle down and tuck into a sumptuous picnic lunch in the open air.
The restaurant has a designated area for dog owners, allowing guests with well behaved pets to dine together.
Afternoon Tea
Afternoon tea at Oakley Hall is a delicious treat. Savour homemade scones, cakes and patisserie, artisan sandwiches and a refreshing pot of tea or coffee. Add a touch of sparkle with a glass of champagne each. Enjoy the experience as a family with special children's afternoon teas also available.
