The Experience

With its own pub, café, restaurant and lounge area, you’ll be hard pushed to decide where to eat and drink well, take the newspaper to a quiet corner, fit in some work (a co-working hub with booths for private calls) or simply relax. Outside is equally alluring: terraces for lake views with summer drinks, the outdoor swimming pool (or wild swimming in the lake), a fully equipped gym, padel courts, sauna and wood-fired hot tub.

Bedrooms ramble amiably across the main building and extensions – designed by House of Dre to be calm spaces reflecting the natural surroundings, with bespoke items created by artisan craftspeople. Enjoy delicious beds, woven blankets from Warp, ceramic lamps, gorgeous bathrooms with Verden soaps and lotions and oodles of space.

Tuck into menus brimming with British produce, some homegrown in the gardens, all fresh and beautifully presented. Set off on woodland walks, order treatments, breathe out.

We think you'll love

  • Embracing the wellness ethos, from daily gym and workout classes to pottery making in the barn, or an invigorating lake swim after a wallow in the hot tub
  • The bedrooms – crafted by designers to bring the outside in and with everything you need to relax and switch off
  • Having such a grand choice of places to eat – perhaps a classic dish in the pub, or three courses in the dining room

You're in a peaceful valley five minutes from Battle which is on the London/Hastings line and you get a pick up from the station. As well as 78 acres to explore and all the wellness activities, there is Battle for a guided tour and the abbey, vineyards to visit, and some wonderful beaches nearby for watery sports or brisk walks. Head to Battle Great Wood for a cycle, or Brede High Woods for walks.
