Ashdown Park
Elegance, style and luxury are all synonymous with this exquisite hotel and country club, set amongst inspiring Sussex countryside. Romantics won’t want to leave the grounds of the magnificent country house, which makes the short stroll from the main house to the spa even more enticing. There are specially designed men’s treatments on offer, as well as those aimed just at teenagers, but the cosy intimate design of the spa makes it particularly conducive to couples.

Hotel & Accommodation
Ashdown Park Hotel has served as a hospital, university, home for soldiers, and a preparation centre for nuns, and although the spa area is new, the place as a whole retains a historic vibe. Today, the hotel has 106 rooms and suites, and is surrounded by 186 acres of land including the hotel’s own 18-hole golf course, with the Ardencote Forest beyond.
The main restaurant is the award-winning Anderida Restaurant, where all meals are served, including dinner, which is a formal affair where most guests opt for smart casual attire or formal wear. The food is well deserving of its credited reputation, and there is a fantastic feeling of ceremony – very traditional service matching classical fare. There are also Drawing Rooms with roaring fires, and the Fairways Lounge in the Country Club for more relaxed dining. A recent addition is the Forest Brasserie, located in our delightful Country Club and overlooking the golf course and forest beyond. It is a perfect setting for those looking for a relaxed and informal dining experience. Enjoy a relaxing cup of tea or coffee after your morning swim, a casual lunchtime meeting with a group of friends or perhaps a Saturday evening meal with great food and a lively atmosphere.
