Stay near Battle Abbey

Our individually styled rooms include king and super king bedrooms, traditional sleigh-bed rooms, smaller doubles and a family room sleeping up to four.

Dinner at Claverton
After a day exploring Battle and East Sussex, you don’t necessarily need to head back into town to find somewhere to eat. Dinner is available at Claverton on most evenings, with food served in the relaxed surroundings of the hotel.
If you’re staying specifically because you plan to dine with us, we recommend checking restaurant availability when making your bedroom reservation.
Free parking and three acres of grounds

More to discover around Battle and Hastings
Battle Abbey may be the reason for your visit, but there is much more to see nearby.
