Retreat Centre Description

Ammerdown is a sanctuary of peace, set in the heart of beautiful Somerset countryside, just 12 miles south of Bath and 16 miles from Bristol. Offering our guests space and time away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, our retreat centre nestles in the grounds of Ammerdown Park, where our guests can relax in the garden or wander further afield through woodland and open countryside. With home cooked food, forty bedrooms and fully equipped meeting rooms, we are an ideal venue for people to meet together or enjoy an individual stay.
