Unfortunately even though its a pub the bar was closed before 9pm. The room was very tired with creaky floors. Impossible to get up in the night and not wake your bed mate. Water went cold whilst having a shower. Won't visit again!
The property is well located, on a main road,with its own car park. Everything was clean and comfortable. Staff were helpful and attentive. Good choice of breakfast options. However, standard tea or or coffee could have vlbeen included in the breakfast options for the price paid.
On the negative side, my room was rather cold,as it was either easterly or northerly orientated. I had to request the heating to be put on arrivall. It aldo gives onto a rather busy road ,so the passing traffic woke me up acfew times during the night.
Cant fault the manager's or staff 10/10 for service and friendliness. The bar areas were clean and had character with the odd bit of quirkiness thrown in. We had two breakfasts and evening meals. Both had great choices and were a few notches up on the usual pub grub. Quality local produce, cooked and presented well. There is a chef in the kitchen.
Unfortunately the accommodation wasn,t up to the same standard. The room was spacious and clean but the quality of the furniture was very poor. The en-suite was tiny with a very small hand basin with a glass shelf above so that you can crack your head on when attempting to lean over the basin. If the other rooms was the same as ours i would suggest some investment is required to bring it up to reasonable standards.
Would i stay there again ?....Yes, when refurbishment has been carried out
Overall we were very happy with our stay. Communication before our stay was very good. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Food was excellent, and we would go back just for that.
Room, although spacious could do with a little tlc, and I would have liked more storage, a chest of drawers for example.
Lovely old inn, very charming, nice clean room, we stayed in the double deluxe room, bed was incredible comfortable.
Car park on site a plus, staff were very welcoming.
Wouldnât go back again. Only 4 rooms yet we were in room 5? Clearly marked as private so suspect we were put in a staff room. Floor so uneven that we had to sleep with our feet on the headboard end as our feet were above our head otherwise. Shower pretty much did what it wanted and was so small that I had to kneel down to have a shower or my head was against the ceiling ( Iâm 6ft). Sink in kitchen area tap was falling out the sink and hot water didnât even work. The floor boards were all loose and creaked and moved you walked round the room. Please read the other comments. It looks like room 4 is not much better
Ideal for discovering Battle and the delights of Battle Abbey. The staff were excellent as was the food, comfortable accommodation and will visit again.
Lovely old pub in Battle with great food. I have stayed here before with no problems. My room this time - room 4 was not the best. I am 6â tall and the bathroom ceiling was so low that I couldnât stand up in it. This made showering particularly difficult. I would stay here again but not in this room
