What is next in the plans for Elite Hotels?
At Ashdown Park Hotel, we have taken inspiration from
the surrounding areas and the beauty of the Ashdown
forest to influence our designs for the new Country Club
restaurant, which forms part of the wider developments
going ahead next year for the Country Club as a whole.

terrace, utilising natural materials such as wealden

range of different textures and finishes.
The new designs also feature new heat treatment

pool that will be surrounded in a green oak and glazed
enclosure with views of the spa garden. This area has
been designed to maximise natural light and engage
with the landscape beyond, contrasting with the warmth
