Ashdown Park Hotel

Much to see and do from this Victorian showpiece

Built in 1867 and restored in the 1990s, Ashdown Park Hotel and Country Club is an impressive mansion set in 186 acres of beautiful countryside in the heart of Ashdown Forest. The gilt and embossed ceilings of the lounges, the tranquil view from the leaded windows and open fires complete the friendly and welcoming atmosphere. In these beautiful surroundings you can relax and enjoy a drink before or after a delectable meal in Ashdown Park's award-winning Anderida Restaurant. Great thought has gone into the design of the 106 bedrooms and each room is beautifully decorated. Many of the rooms have views of Ashdown Forest, providing the perfect setting for honeymooners and romantics. Relaxation is assured; the swimming pool, steam room, sauna, snooker and gentle walks are invitingly at hand. The Revitalise Spa offers a good range of up-to-the-minute treatments, and for the more energetic there is a gym, tennis courts and a 18-hole, par three, golf course. Ashdown Park is ideally situated for a wide variety of interests and activities. Historic Hever Castle, Penshurst Place and Tunbridge Wells are within easy reach, as are the Bluebell Railway, Brighton with its exotic Pavilion, Pooh Corner, Glyndebourne Opera House and Lingfield and Brighton Racecourses.
