'Pooh-Pooh' Your Troubles At Ashdown Park

Where: Wych Cross, Forest Row, East Sussex, United Kingdom, RH18 5JR

Childhood regression is always good – especially in tough times - but childhood regression combined with a posh hotel is definitely better. So we’re rather taken with the idea of going down to Ashdown Park Hotel in Sussex for a Pooh fest (we should probably clarify we mean Winnie the Pooh, natch).

Anyway, Ashdown Park is a rather sexy hotel in the middle of Ashdown Forest in East Sussex, where the Pooh books were set. And this summer they’re cooking up special picnics for you to take into the woods with you. At £13.95 each, they don’t sound bad value, either (unless we’re talking micro-portions) – free range chicken and roasted plum tomatoes, organic salmon and the hotel’s own citrus-marinated mozzarella. Kiddies get their own menu which sounds just as nice – especially the wild honey and sesame flapjack.

The hotel is also providing walking routes to take you to places as inspirational as The Enchanted Place and Pooh Bridge (don’t forget to play your pooh sticks). If you want to make a night of it, rooms start from £190, including a smacking full English breakfast – just the fuel for your pooh sticks.
