Bursting with history and character Ockenden Manor combines Elizabethan country house splendor with modern luxuries, offering 28 lavishly decorated rooms and suites and a restaurant serving superlative Sussex-inspired cuisine.

Using water that comes directly from its own private spring, Ockenden Manor’s contemporary spa facilities make it the ideal location for a luxurious wellness break. It’s light-filled design and modern architecture blend effortlessly with the 19th-century walls of the surrounding garden to create a truly special space in which to indulge.

Whether enjoying a pampering spa treatment or simply taking in the unspoiled views over Cuckfield Park from a lounge warmed by a roaring log fire, Ockenden Manor is a wonderful place to escape to and it’s less than an hour from London.

The Spa

Ockenden Manor Spa

Highlights of the spa at Ockenden Manor include an indoor swimming pool with swim-through to an outdoor heated pool, a bubbling outdoor hot tub, walk-through rainforest showers, steam and sauna experiences, and indoor and outdoor relaxation areas.

An Isopod floatation tank allows guests to be suspended effortlessly in salt water for total muscle relaxation, while a fully equipped gym offers the use of resistance, CV and free weights, with Pilates and yoga classes take place in the fitness studio.

There is a lounge serving refreshing smoothies and healthy snacks, while eight luxurious treatment rooms include a space for couples to enjoy pampering time together.

An extensive choice of facial, body and massage therapies, offered in partnership with Elemental Herbology, capitalise on the brand’s Five Element Theory, which uses principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine to soothe and restore natural balance and introduce inner calm. A selection of these is also combined with time in the Isopod to provide a sense of complete escapism.

In addition, The Light Technique, developed by renowned facialist and holistic wellness expert Katie Light, is incorporated into a range of bespoke treatments designed to address physical and emotional issues using a combination of massage and reiki techniques.

To Eat

Led by award-winning head chef, Stephen Crane, The Restaurant serves some of the finest food in Sussex. It is a beautiful space with far-reaching views over Cuckfield Park – you may like to sit by the fire in the elegant drawing room and enjoy a traditional or ‘sparkling’ afternoon tea, read the papers in the bar, or head outside to the terrace in the sunshine.

Food provenance is an important aspect of the gourmet offering and the restaurant’s devotion to using quality, locally sourced ingredients means it has excellent relationships with many local suppliers. This even stretches to its cellars: located in the heart of Sussex wine country, the hotel is proud to support local wineries who produce some of the finest English sparkling wines.
