Ridge Farm, Capel, Dorking, Surrey

Large farmhouse sleeping 24 with excellent leisure faciltiies for corporate events and business meetings near Dorking

Holiday Rental for Groups of Families and Friends. Ridge Farm, Capel, Dorking, Surrey, sleeps 8 - 24 in 12 bedrooms.

Ridge Farm is a 12-acre complex in beautiful rural surroundings – an ideal place for workshops & retreats, and somewhere a bit different for business teams to study, relax and get to know each other.
The Farmhouse is a stunning Mediaeval building that accommodates up to 24 people in 12 bedrooms, either self-catering or with cook-housekeeper. The large reception rooms are perfect for meetings or, if you need a bigger area, the pool-house is a light, airy space with room for 120 seated.
We don’t offer entertainments like clay shoots or quad biking on site (although these and many others are available nearby) but it’s a great place to chill out, and there’s plenty of space for groups to organise their own low-key activities. The sauna & Jacuzzi are available all year round, and if you’re not using the Pool-house for your meetings you can, of course, enjoy a swim.
We’re in an easily accessible position on the Surrey-Sussex border, mid-way between Dorking & Horsham, a mile and a half from the A24. Gatwick airport and the M23 are 15 minutes drive, and the M25 is about the same distance. There’s plenty of parking here, but we’re particularly well-placed for arriving by train too, as Dorking is on two lines (N-S serving London and the South Coast, and and E-W between Reading and Ashford) and the stations are well-served by taxis.
We know our guests need to be in touch with the outside world, so we’re a Wi-Fi hot-spot, and although it feels like we’re miles from anywhere there’s good reception on all the mobile phone networks.
Ridge Farm has a long and fascinating history but is probably best known for being a world-class residential recording studio in the last three decades of the 20th century. Now it’s a favourite venue for weddings, holidays, workshops, retreats, product launches, location filming, corporate events & away-days, with the emphasis on getting away from it all.
