Great Business Stay
Quick and friendly check in. My room was away from the main hotel in a separate building. The condition and facilities in the room were as expected. Bed was very comfortable. Food in the restaurant was good, the service from all staff I encountered was fantastic. Would definitely stay again.

Great surroundings, and lovely old building with lots of character. Room (basic twin) was a little tired, particularly the bathroom, but it was clean and did the job.

Wonderful grounds with footpath right into Battle village. Lovely room with balcony, although the balcony could have done with a good sweep. Considering the large size of the room the guest experience would have been much enhanced by the addition of a small fridge. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Needs refurb
Hotel is set in beautiful grounds, but the hotel itself needs some refurbishing. We had a standard room which was OK, but the bathroom needs an update. We expected a shower, however it had a bath with a handset, very little water pressure as not pumped & water temperature went hot & cold. Extremely difficult to use as a shower. Also cracked floor tiles. Two windows in the room, but only one opened. The other has been painted over so wouldn't open. No central light, only bedside lights so room quite dark. Breakfast was a buffet, with a cooked breakfast to order. Nothing special, but quite nice with a good selection. We didn't feel the quality of the room etc warranted the price we paid. We would not return.
