Beautiful hotel, relaxing stay

A lovely hotel in a stunning location. Our room in the Cloisters was comfortable, clean and well appointed. Breakfast was very tasty with plenty of choice. The grounds are stunning, and the hotel is ideally placed to explore Battle, Hastings and the surrounding 1066 countryside.

Beautiful

Really lovely stay. I booked 5 rooms for a wedding and staff could not have been nicer. Special thanks to Tracey on reception and Ray in the bar. Only not picky points are that the shower wasn’t great and the beds were too soft. Powdermills is a beautiful hotel in a picture perfect setting

Lovely hotel in beautiful surroundings. Accommodation very good. Food wonderful. Staff very helpful and friendly. Staffing seemed a bit stretched at times but this seems to be a Common issue across the hospitality industry. Location is great. Lovely walks and easy walking access to Battle.

Stunning But Loud

Overall, I would stay at the Powdermills again, but it wasn't as peaceful as I would have expected. The inn allows animals, and the barking was incessant (the thin walls didn't help for not hearing the neighbors either). Also, if you are allergic to animals, the inn does not have separate rooms where animals are allowed to stay versus rooms where they are not. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was incredible.

Disappointing room but lovely grounds

Excellent setting. The room needed refurbishment. Toilet seat was broken and fell off. Cold tap was loose. No shower and an inaccessible bath. Unsuitable for older people because the bath taps could only be adjusted by getting in the bath.
