The refurbishment has taken inspiration from its use in 1920, when Ashdown Park was a convent and the Mary Towneley Lounge was used by nuns as a place of deep contemplation.The lounge, which overlooks the magnificent east wing courtyard, offers delegates a tranquil and private area with direct access out to a secluded and picturesque outdoor setting. Facilities include and LED Television screen, two tea and coffee service stations, with a variety of teas, speciality coffees and a chilled drinks cabinets.
What’s more, at the end of November a lift will be installed in the Mary Towneley Lounge, which will enable motorised wheelchair access to the first floor, where many meetings and weddings take place.
