We enjoyed our one night stay here and overall had a good experience with just one or 2 things for management to note. We needed to change rooms as a double instead of a twin had been booked, staff were swift to get this arranged and move the fridge we had requested. The room was lovely and had good views of the gardens but the bath was very grubby and we had no conditioner in the bottles attached to the wall.
We useded the leisure facilities and had treatments booked which were all great.
We didn't fancy dining in the restaurant so ordered room service which arrived quickly and was very tasty. Breakfast also offered a wide variety to suit all tastes.
We also booked an afternoon tea so after checking out we went for a walk around the grounds which we enjoyed. When we returned we sat outside and asked if we could order drinks, the young girl we spoke to said she was training and would send someone to us but this never happened and all other servers dealing with other guests ignored us. When we went for the tea we asked if we could have it outside as there was quite a breeze and in 35 degree heat, was quite hot in the hotel but we were told no.
Overall we enjoyed our stay and would consider returning.

The hotel and especially the grounds are beautiful. If I had known how far away from reception and more importantly the numbers of stairs I had to climb to get there, I would have accepted the proffered carrying of my bags to the room. I enjoyed my stay, the barbecue we had outside was excellent, although one of the guests had to carry the fizz outside herself from the chapel, where it had already been poured. My room was very hot being on the top floor and the fan was useless. Luckily I was able to open a window. The bed was comfortable, but the plumbing was terribly loud and took ages to stop after you had finished your shower.

We had a great weekend at Ashdown Park hotel for our anniversary! Definitely recommend having a treatment at the Country Club. The Anderida restaurant is special, fantastic food but pricey- we knew this before we went. The Forest Brasserie was a bit disappointing, the menu wasn’t that exciting and the drinks are overpriced. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The grounds are stunning. Would definitely recommend

The grounds are beautiful, the staff are great! We had breakfast which tasted good! The spa was relaxing but there is a bit of wear and tear in places.

Overall it was a lovely night away - one thing to highlight: the bed and pillows are very soft, we usually sleep on a firm mattress and have fun pillows so we don’t sleep well and woke up a bit achey; but this is very subjective. Also the hairdryer in the room was really weak so being your own if visiting or use the ones in the spa’s changing room.

The breakfast was good

Upon arrival we were allocated a room that was cesigned for disabled persons,especially in the bathroom ,with hand rails and grab facilities.

Fortunately the upper floor facilities lift was an infill to our room,did not operate during our stay,otherwise we would have requested a room change.

The site can only be described as massive and the staff were very helpfull.

We only stayed for 2 nights and it met our requirements.

If you were looking for a room with a view the cost would be exceptional,our room overlooked an external barrier wall.
As we were out all day this was not a problem,however if you want to stay longer go elsewhere or you will be disappointed - the site is for wedding functions and business.

I suggest you look elsewhere if you want a leisure break

What a beautiful and serene place Ashdown Park Hotel is. I’ve been waiting a while to stay here and the anticipation was totally fulfilled. The history, the scenery, the rooms and the food; everything is excellent. We came for a one night stay as a gift for my wife’s 40th birthday. The massage treatment she had in the spa was fantastic quality and we spent a long time in the spa just relaxing. All the staff were very friendly and dinner in the Anderida restaurant was absolutely sublime; mushroom bonbons, chateaux briande cooked to perfection. The Winnie the Pooh themed cocktails were a highlight and a lovely link to the surrounding woods. The room was a little bit of a walk from reception though I don’t mind that but it was spacious and the bed and pillows were perfect. We were also lucky enough to be here for the 100 year anniversary of the story books and a special ‘Honey Pot’ afternoon tea! We will definitely be back here in the future. Thanks Ashdown Park for a perfect night away and the much needed calm you’ve brought us! We cannot wait to come back.

Beautiful looking hotel in a stunning setting. The rooms were comfortable and the breakfast was very nice. Bedrooms and bathroom were very clean and comfortable. The communal areas could do with sprucing up, some of the decor is a bit dated and the carpets are grubby, if they could get that right then they would be a potential big hitter in the premium country house sector which is full of high quality accommodation

Absolutely beautiful place with stunning views and amazing architecture. Breakfast is brilliant- huge variety of cooked (to order) food as well as continental buffet. Staff are helpful and friendly.

Only cons are 1) location - be prepared for the narrow country lanes!! But seriously you may struggle to get phone service, food delivery and nearest taxi will be 20 mins away 2) no aircon - we went in September so not really an issue but can imagine this to be a problem in summer. 3) Room service - no menu, limited availability and takes ages

However these weren’t huge issues annd overall we really enjoyed our stay and found our way around the limited issues mentioned above. Would definitely stay again.

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.

It is difficult to rate our stay at Ashdown Park because we never got a chance to stay there. We were in a car accident en route to the hotel that day. We contacted the hotel through Expedia to notify them as soon as possible (approximately 4:30PM) about our travel situation. They delayed the decision on our room charges for a day or two and then informed Expedia and us, that they would be charging us the full amount for both rooms. I realize this is within the rights of their cancellation policy, but it was another downward turn in what had already been a difficult situation.
Needless to say, when we're back in the UK, we won't be staying at Ashdown.

This is my 4th visit. The building and lands around it are still gorgeous but the amenities seem to have gone down a little. They no longer have the steam room in the ladies changing room which is a real shame and their spa treatments are just way too expensive, so unfortunately we gave them a miss this time.
