Oakley Court

The Best New Hotels in the U.K. for Your Next Visit

"Pretty much anything creative director Alex Eagle does gets our attention: the creative director was the brains behind concept space The Store at Soho Farmhouse. Now, she’s been called in to give Berkshire’s 118 room Oakley Court a do-over. The result is effortlessly eclectic: There are plush Eagle & Hodges couches, with oriental rugs set snugly beneath mid-century chairs. The beds are big and comfy, dressed in the kind of big, bold, stripy bed linen that evokes long, lazy summer days. Elsewhere, there’s a gym and pool area with infrared saunas, and a restaurant and terrace set along the river. In the summertime, you can play tennis at the on-site courts, or follow one of the nature trails that wind around the grounds."
