‘AUTUMN DRESSES UP IN GOLD; THE RICHEST SEASON OF THE SOUL.’
Angie Weiland Crosby – American writer
This autumn Elite Hotels will host a number of exciting events – opportunities to absorb the season’s splendour, not only through nature but also with extraordinary entertainment and extremely fine dining, and Halloween-themed amusement for families. Plus, there are some seriously persuasive seasonal offers.
Set in 186 acres of lakes, secret gardens and woodland trails – within the magical Ashdown Forest, the inspiration for A. A. Milne’s delightful Winnie-The-Pooh stories – Ashdown Park Hotel & Country Club promises an enchanting autumn escape. Country house hotels in Sussex don’t come more luxurious, or offer such a magnificent combination of elegance, style, and award-winning dining.
On Thursday 17, Friday 18 and Saturday 19 October, the National’s Trust’s Nymans – a medieval manor house with fascinating gardens, in West Sussex – will host an Autumn Dawn art workshop in its rustic and cosy potting shed. Join John Thompson, Artist in Residence, for this full day experience. John will provide everything you need to create a beautiful piece of artwork in acrylic paints, inspired by nature. Tickets cost £90 pp. Tea, coffee, cake and biscuits will be provided.
On Friday 8 November, indulge in a Murder Mystery Night. During a lavish three-course dinner, a chilling discovery disrupts the tranquillity, and a body is found floating in the hot tub! The ‘hotel manager’ attempts to solve the crime himself, his investigation leaving no stone unturned. With every twist and turn, uncover hidden truths and follow the clues to catch the killer before it’s too late. Tickets cost £86 pp, including a three-course dinner and a soirée of inscrutable fun.
Ashdown Park Hotel & Country Club has an Autumn Retreat: 25% off Dinner, Bed & Breakfast offer. The cost is from £155.50 pp (two sharing), including accommodation, £50 per adult to spend on dinner, the Full Works Breakfast, and full use of the hotel’s Spa facilities, including the indoor swimming pool. Offer valid now until 30 November.
Children stay free at Ashdown Park Hotel & Country Club this October half term. An overnight stay costs from £177.50 per adult (based on two adults and two children, aged 16 and under, sharing an Executive Room), including breakfast for all the family; and full use of the leisure facilities, including the indoor swimming pool, tennis court, gymnasium, walking trails and woodlands. Offer available for stays from 19 October – 2 November.
