Crafted at Powdermills

Set within a historic Georgian Grade II-listed country house, Crafted at Powdermills offers a nature-focused retreat in Battle, East Sussex. This 4-star hotel is defined by its seven-acre private lake and surrounding ancient woodlands, located just a short drive from the historic Battle Abbey. The property features 55 individually designed rooms and suites, alongside three self-catering cottages—Ash, Oak, and The Lake House—which provide wood-burning stoves and private kitchens for families or groups. On-site facilities include a restaurant, a cocktail bar, and a traditional pub. Wellness is central to the experience here, with an outdoor bathing pool, lakeside saunas, and opportunities for cold-water swimming, paddleboarding, and forest yoga. Creative travelers can also make use of the dedicated Craft Barn and Art Studio.
