Battle Abbey is a must when staying at this property. You can walk there in 5 minutes! The town has a good selection of shops, pubs and places to eat. There is also a Tourist information centre. Take a walk to the famous Battle of Hastings site where it seems the towns name came from. This is where King Harald died with an arrow through the eye and the Normans under King William took control of England in 1066.
Bodiam Castle is not far away and a great picnic place on a good day. Been there and done this so can recommend! Pick up the local steam railway and go through to the lovely market ton of Tenterden and take a meal in one of the many restaurants or Tea rooms.
Hastings is the nearest beach but guests should make Rye and Brighton if they like to take a trip back in time.
