Exceeded our expectations.

From the moment we arrived all the staff are very friendly and helpful. Our room was of a good size, lovely views and very clean. We had an evening meal in the dining room, which was of excellent quality. The ambience in the restaurant was lovely. We were not disappointed, in fact Hotel and staff exceeded our expectations. The grounds, including the country club, it’s worth walking around. The Ashdown Forest is a very beautiful setting , lots of walks.

Nice experience overall but extremely disappointed that though we called ahead to mention that we were celebrating our 1st wedding anniversary, nothing at all was done to make the experience any more special. If you're booking for a special occasion, you may wish to look elsewhere, sadly!

Stunning location. A very grand feel to the place inside and out although it needs a refurb in parts but not desperately. Lovely breakfast and good quality tea and coffee in room.

Ashdown Park,we decided,not for us. Bedrooms very dark,and extremely dated.With reproduction furniture. We had issues with the rooms we were allocated,due to first being too far away for my husband (he has knee problems),secondly a single room was given to us.Late evening we were given a suite in the leisure complex,which we appreciated,but in all honesty,so very dated. I have to say,the member of staff,who helped us to get a room change,was absolutely lovely,and went above and beyond,to help us,such a lovely guy. Breakfast was certainly not overwhelming,really didn’t like the idea of having to help yourself to a coffee in a mug ,from a rather cheap coffee dispenser,(I can do that in Waitrose for free). As a summary,beautiful views and grounds,dated ,dark accommodation.

My husband and I enjoyed everything about our stay at Ashdown Park Hotel. The team are super friendly, our room was lovely and very clean and luxurious. The grounds are well kept and a pleasure to stroll around. There are good fitness facilities, however we were there for a romantic trip. We had a lovely evening meal, but feel that there could have been more choice. The breakfast was delicious and well made. Thank you to the whole team for making our stay special.
