TEA GUILD MEMBER
Ashdown Park Hotel
Ashdown Park has had a colourful past. The house has served over the centuries as a hospital, a convalescent home for soldiers returning from the First World War, a training house for nuns and an international university. Today it is a luxury hotel surrounded by immaculate lawns, woodland trails, lakes and gardens.
Three drawing rooms provide the setting for afternoon tea and in winter roaring log fires keeps visitors cosy and comfortable while in summer, a sunny terrace is a perfect setting for an al fresco tea.
Ingredients used here are locally sourced as far as possible and the afternoon tea menu offers five different sandwiches followed by delicious scones and a selection of cakes all artistically presented on a three-tier china cake stand. Luxurious indulgence!
