The Spa Hotel, The Ashdown Room

A very smart hotel set in extensive grounds with a gym and a small swimming pool. It used to be owned by the Goring family but was sold a few years ago and lost some of its character. Still worth 4 stars however.

Mixed review here! Beautiful place and surroundings. Absolutely amazing massage. Lovely staff! However, I believe I slept for around 2 hours, the bed was very hard and uncomfortable. As for breakfast, my husband only ever has toast, so I ordered myself a cooked breakfast, him toast, and I added toast onto mine hoping that they would send it so that his breakfast was sufficient. 'a selection of toast' includes 1 slice of white bread and 1 slice of brown bread. Given that we paid for 2 people to have breakfast I had hoped they would add the additional toast I added onto our order, sadly not. I had Inedible rock hard black pudding also. We were given a huge jug of milk yet a tea pot thay only held enough for 2 small cups of tea, which didn't make sense and seemed a waste. We left early, losing money for a massage I had booked for my husband, to go home and eat and have a decent cup of tea. Sadly we wouldn't stay again, but would 100% come back to use the spa!
