Housed in a Grade II listed building in the heart of Battle, this well located hotel has undergone a fairly recent and substantial refurbishment, ensuring that guests who stay here will find contemporary design touches and furnishings. Free high-speed WiFi in every room has been another popular addition. There’s an onsite restaurant serving locally sourced produce along with some mouth-watering local ales, plus a pretty garden bordering the popular 1066 walking route that many visitors come to enjoy.

Gently nestled in 150 acres of scenic park and woodland in an 18th-century country house, you’ll struggle to find better value in Battle than this exceptional 3-star hotel. But there’s more to it than just an idyllic setting -there’s also great amenities such as an outdoor swimming pool and award-winning restaurant to keep you refreshed and well fed, plus a private organic farm and large wine cellar to explore too. Guest rooms come with satellite TV and many have four-poster beds, while elsewhere in the hotel’s confines you’ll find antiques, log fires, a conservatory and a library that add to the hotel’s rustic, elegant ambiance.
