Liked: All the food we ate at Ashdown was delicious, from superb breakfasts to our dinner in the Anderida restaurant. Our room was excellent, spacious with lovely views of the grounds.
Disliked: The bed was a little uncomfortable, and pillows didn't have much life in them, all in all we didn't sleep too well there.

enjoyable stay with great pool...

Liked: it?s a grand place and in a beautiful setting
Disliked: it could do with some modernisation or room makeovers. nothing too dramatic required but a ?facelift? hear and there.

A great location for a...

Liked: Grounds are extensive, beautiful and tranquil.Facilities (pool, gym, tennis courts) were all excellent and these can be used before check in or after check out which means facilities can be enjoyed even for a one night stay.Dinner was superb, bear in mind that it is fine dining rather than large portions, but portions were more than adequate.Breakfast was cooked to order with plenty of choice.
Disliked: Although barely noticeable the double bed is two singles made up as a double. Shower was in the bath rather than a shower cubicle, but temperature and water pressure were good.It has an odd history having been used for various residential purposes including for nuns and then a corporate training centre, and it does have a halfway feel between Country Manor and early 20th century hotel Hotel, but decor and feel are consistent throughout.
