Comfortable beds and spacious room. Terribly slow service at the bar and especially at the restaurant during supper time. We waited almost 1.5 hour for our main course to be served. Simply not good enough.

We stayed here for a wedding..the grounds and property are absolutely picturesque but the rooms are from the 80s pink carpets and green sofas was like being in a care home for the night. Also had no hot water and we wasn't the only ones who complained about this.

Allan, Winnipeg

Disliked: Staff & service
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.
