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.

Family celebrations stay
Stayed to celebrate a number of family milestones - absolutely beautiful surroundings! Very family friendly , large rooms the indoor pool as a big hit. Service was slow in the restaurant due to a function and although this was frustrating the staff did their best to reconcile. We will be back 😊

Beautiful hotel, gorgeous views from our room and thoroughly enjoyed eating in the restaurant whilst someone played the piano. The pool was especially tranquil, had it to ourselves the two times we used it. If everywhere had such nice changing facilities I'd swim everyday. Will definitely return.

Birthday Night Stay
We celebrated my husband’s birthday with an overnight stay and wasn’t disappointed. The service from when we arrived to check out so first class. We had a meal in the main restaurant which was fabulous, breakfast good too. I would recommend having a massage at the Spa as my husband and I both said how good it was.

Lovely stay
Lovely stay . The food was very good and we were made very welcome by the staff. However the lighting in our bedroom wasn’t good. We like to read and the only place you could read was in bed. Our bathroom was looking rather dated.
