Our Charity Partnership
Elite Hotels is proud to announce Hearing Dogs for Deaf People as our chosen charity partner for 2024.
Indulge in an exquisite getaway with our exclusive Dinner, Bed, and Breakfast package at Ashdown Park Hotel & Country Club, where luxury meets compassion. Experience an unforgettable evening with a delectable dinner, followed by a restful night's sleep, waking up to a sumptuous breakfast that will leave you refreshed and ready for the day ahead. Better yet, you can share this experience with your best furry companions.
What makes this package truly special is our commitment to making a positive impact. With every booking of our Paws for a Cause package, we proudly donate to our charity partner, Hearing Dogs for Deaf People. Ashdown Park will not only match your £5 package donation but double it to £10 per reservation, totalling a donation of £15 per reservation. Your stay not only promises culinary delights and unparalleled comfort but also plays a part in supporting the training of assistance puppies, providing vital assistance to those with hearing impairments.
Savour the charm of our whimsical and invisible doggy-themed side dish: Paw-tatoes, where the enjoyment lies in giving back.
Despite its invisibility, the delight is genuine, and your £5 donation contributes to training treats that will support a Hearing Dog for a full month.
Purchase your paw-tatoes in our Anderida Restaurant, Forest Brasserie, in our lounges or on your room service menu.
Demonstrating our dedication to supporting this exceptional charity, we invited our guests and new members to join our fundraising effort through our matched donation program for events, weddings and leisure memberships confirmed throughout February 2024. For every confirmed guest or leisure membership, Ashdown Park donated £5, and if they matched our donation, our contribution doubled to £10, resulting in a total donation of £15. Our guests’ and members’ generosity play a pivotal role in funding the training of an assistance puppy, offering essential and transformative assistance to individuals with hearing impairments.
Guests with assistance dogs are very welcome. Your trusted companion is at liberty to join you throughout the hotel, whether you are taking afternoon tea in the lounge, dining in the restaurant or relaxing in your room. Regrettably we are unable permit animals around the swimming pool due to health and safety protocols, but if there is anything further we can do to support you in enjoying this area of the hotel, please let us know.
