Ridge Farm is a historic building in an idyllic rural location. Originally a mediaeval farmhouse, it
has grown over the centuries without losing any of its character. Located on the Surrey/Sussex
border, it is within easy reach of Gatwick and Heathrow airports, the M25, and the local town
Dorking.
The house is set in 12 acres of gardens, meadows and woodland. In the grounds there is an
indoor swimming pool (the pool will be closed during this class), sauna and Jacuzzi, and there is
a floodlit tennis court. All meals and snacks throughout the day are included in the
accommodation costs. Ridge Farm uses seasonal produce from the garden to prepare everything
in the farm kitchen. Food will be mainly vegetarian and there will be plenty of it, no one has ever
left Ridge Farm lighter!
