Welcome to Ammerdown
Welcome to our 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.
Keeping Us All Safe
We request that you do not come to Ammerdown if you have, within the last five days, tested positive for COVID or if you have COVID symptoms. Conference rooms will continue to be well ventilated (so please bring an extra layer to wear) and we encourage you to use the hand sanitiser provided. You are welcome to wear a face mask.
Thank you for helping us to keep everyone safe.
