We just held our wedding reception at the Abbey Hotel and we couldn't recommend them enough. They were the first venue we visited and Kate was so welcoming and fun that we booked with them straight away! With the help of Kate and the team we had the most wonderful time. The party food and breakfast was so delicious and we can't wait to go back for an ELF night or Sunday lunch! Thanks so much xxx

Best party venue

The Abbey's Web sites says that they open for breakfast at 7.30. The only place we could find on the internet that opened before 8. Having waited and gone there at 7.30, we were very curtly informed they are not open for breakfast to public, just to guests staying there. That is OK, but they really should have the correct information on their website. 
We found that the bakery is open from 7.30 or maybe earlier and it did a beautiful breakfast at at a really good price.

No welcome at the inn

I had the calamari and garlic mayo which was really really good and then I had a cow pie which was definitely up there with one of the best pies I've ever had (I'm well fat and I've had so many pies). The absolute best bit was the gravy which was actually good thick gravy and there was enough of it which is rare in restaurants.

If I had to say a negative I'd say that it probably took longer than it should have for the food to come out but it wasn't an offensively long time so it's all good. 

Definitely recommend, will be back.

Really good food.

Lovely place, right in the centre of Battle. Really varied menu and, food was excellent - the “best Ploughman’s in East Sussex” was exactly that and, the beef shin ravioli was delicious. Really friendly place, staff great too, would highly recommend.

Don’t miss this place in Battle

Booked having read reviews and was really surprised and very disappointed  at just how poor quality the room and the bed were, unfortunately this disappointment continued with the breakfasts, really not good value at all and cannot recommend

Be More Aware of ALL Reviews

We stayed two nights. The room was absolutely  fine. As you’d expect at an old town hotel, all rooms (all upstairs) are different and ours was small but nice and quiet. We were able to park at the English Heritage car park for the Abbey for free using our members’ car park sticker (which was a bonus).

The food was disappointingly overall just average pub grub. Some good, some less so.  Breakfast one morning was dry and eggs over cooked yet then next day was much better - the eggs Benedict were excellent.  Dinner was very mixed with a nice starter followed by a main which was full of chips and salad but not much of the actual main dish. Pricey for what it was. 

With the exception of a young man called Max, who was polite, helpful and engaging, the service, was not so good. As an example, we were told that as we were part of a group we should all come to breakfast at the same time. Indeed for the second morning we were there (a Sunday) we were more or less instructed to be down at 8.30am - because they had to set up for lunch from 10am. So down we came at 8.30am only to find that the  person who had instructed us wasn’t actually present; and the other staff seemed fine for us to show up when we wanted, within the times actually set out for breakfast. 

Overall it felt a bit like we were not the customer - more doing them a favour. Similarly so with most of the service (except Max). A bit begrudging, quite grumpy in part and none of the engagement you’d expect from someone glad to have business in what presumably is not the easiest time for the hotel trade. Indeed, it seemed that the hotel, with a constant stream of wedding parties and visitors to the Abbey, has so much business it doesn’t really need to make that much effort. 

Would love to have enjoyed it enough to stay again but not sure we would.

Small hotel on the high street of Battle. Promised more than it delivered.

The friendly service at this hotel is excellent.  We were walking the 1066 trail and they were happy to look after our overnight bag.  All communication with them was prompt and helpful.  The rooms were great, clean, well provided and the beds super comfy.  The food is also excellent both at breakfast and in the evening.  We had a lovely meal and the place was busy but had a relaxed and contented atmosphere.  Its popularity with locals rather than just tourists is a sign of its quality . Would recommend.

Great rooms, great food and excellent service...couldn't ask for more.

Hotel was amazing, cane down for a wedding, staff were friendly and very welcoming to my family, facilities were unbelievable, especially having a iron and ironing board on-demand. Breakfast was unbelievable, one of the best English Breakfasts I’ve ever had. If you ever visit Battle, you have to stay at this hotel. Rebecca and the team were extremely accommodating, would love to stay there again

Fantastic place to stay

This hotel was absolutely perfect for our stay. We were there for a family wedding and the hotel played such a massive part in making the day extra special. The staff were so accommodating and the rooms were spotless.
We couldn’t have had a better location to stay and could not have asked anymore of a hotel.

Perfect in every way! 

Popped in for a quick pint (as a local) to Battle and the young man with a beard was genuinely quite miserable and rude to me as we asked for a drink. I did ask if he was okay but he seemed to be quite fed up at the time. Maybe he should consider being a little happier next time.
