About us
Ashdown Park Hotel & Country Club is a beautiful country house hotel set in the heart of the Ashdown Forest in East Sussex. Ashdown Park is located in the heart of the ancient Ashdown forest south of London. We are an hour’s drive from central London, half an hour’s drive from Gatwick Airport and a ten minute drive from East Grinstead railway station. Local attractions include Glyndebourne, the ultimate destination for opera lovers; thirteenth century Hever Castle, once the home of Anne Boleyn; the wonderfully nostalgic Bluebell Railway; Lingfield Park racecourse; and the beautiful gardens and woodlands of Wakehurst Place. 18 fully equipped suites and syndicate rooms of varying sizes offer superb surroundings for conferences, seminars, business or private functions, wedding receptions and celebrations. Board meetings of eight to grand banquets for 160 can be accommodated.
