Ashridge House is an award-winning, Grade 1 listed neo-gothic mansion situated in the heart of the rolling Chiltern Hills, 30 miles north of London. We offer a range of flexible meeting rooms that can accommodate from 2 up to 250 people for conferences, training, meetings and events.
Welcoming guests from all over the world, we tailor our hospitality service to match the diverse requirements of each individual and every organisation. Our stunning location, set in 190 acres, is home to both historic period rooms and contemporary spaces, all of which lead onto exquisite landscaped gardens. Within easy reach of London’s four international airports and the main rail and motorway networks, our location couldn’t be more convenient, or beautiful.
In addition to our unique facilities and location, we are renowned for our fresh, seasonal cuisine. Designed to maximise performance and provide the right nutritional balance, our chefs source ingredients from local sustainable partners including wine from the local Frithsden vineyard.
We offer 17 meeting rooms to accommodate groups from 2 to 250 delegates. Located across the Ashridge site, the rooms vary from ornate with original 19th century features, to purpose-built and modern in style. All rooms are fully supported by AV equipment and technical support. In addition, we have 55 syndicate rooms for groups of 8-10 delegates that are conveniently situated to complement the main meeting rooms.
