A bit about Oakley Hall...

Oakly Hall Exterior

A grand 18th-century Georgian Manor House, Oakley Hall is an award-winning country house hotel set in a 315-acre estate in the beautiful Hampshire countryside. Its elegant Glasshouse Restaurant is a comfortable place to dine, offering modern dishes using locally sourced produce. The large terrace is perfect for afternoon tea and the 1795 Bar and Lounge is available for a selection of drinks and snacks.

Here, Georgian splendour meets the very best modern hospitality.

Fun fact: Oakley Hall has links to the celebrated novelist Jane Austen who lived in the nearby village of Steventon. 

During your stay, why not pay a visit to the Kitchen Garden to see how they grow the many herbs, fruits and vegetables which go into the menus? Or take the route through the woods and discover the wide range of plants, trees and wildlife that have made Oakley Hall their home.
