Stay near Battle Abbey

Battle Abbey stands on the site of one of the most famous events in English history: the Battle of Hastings in 1066.

Today visitors can explore the Abbey ruins, walk across the historic battlefield and discover the events surrounding the Norman Conquest.

Staying at Claverton puts you within easy reach of the Abbey while giving you the space and tranquillity of a country house setting away from the centre of town.

Individually styled bedrooms

Claverton has just 11 guest bedrooms, giving the hotel a more personal feel than a large chain hotel.

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

Whether you’re visiting Battle for a short break, exploring the history of the 1066 area or simply looking for somewhere comfortable to stay while visiting friends and family, there are several different room types to choose from.

Start the day with breakfast

Breakfast is served at the hotel each morning, so you can enjoy a freshly prepared breakfast before setting off to explore Battle Abbey and the surrounding area.

Non-residents are also welcome for breakfast, subject to availability.

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

Guests staying at Claverton benefit from free on-site parking, making the hotel particularly convenient if you’re exploring East Sussex by car.

You’re also welcome to enjoy our three acres of gardens during your stay.

The grounds include established gardens, ponds and seating areas, providing somewhere to relax after a day of sightseeing.

More to discover around Battle and Hastings

Battle Abbey may be the reason for your visit, but there is much more to see nearby.

The historic town of Battle, Hastings Old Town and seafront, Rye, Bodiam Castle and the surrounding East Sussex countryside are all within reach of Claverton.

This makes the hotel a convenient base for a longer break exploring the 1066 area rather than simply an overnight stop.
