Ashbourne Self Catering

Shiningford, situated 4 miles from Ashbourne, is a beautiful venue which can accommodate up to 34 delegates in 16 bedrooms. With several breakout areas and large gardens suitable for outdoor team building activities, Shiningford is ideally suited for the adventurous.

The Manor, Stables & Tack Room form the base of luxury accommodation in a private, rural location. For group dining, the dining hall in The Manor offers a relaxing atmosphere with a log burner for winter. You can also spoil yourselves in the 2 hot tubs, heated throughout the year. The outdoor swimming pool is open in the warmer months, and can provide an ice breaker for the delegates staying.
