Ignore the three stars for an overall review - you need to take this place in context. If you want somewhere to go to have a very peaceful break in the countryside, this is for you. It's like a static caravan park but with log cabins instead of plastic caravans. They're actually really nice, and we stayed in the bog standard one which was lovely despite the grade. It was warm, dry and with an absolutely magnificent view of the valley just outside of Battle where Crowhurst Park nestles. One nice touch was the small pack of sponge and J-Cloth in the kitchen, one of those silly little things on a self-catering holiday that make it fun in a nerdy way!
It's REALLY quiet, possibly favouring the older generations, although there is a health centre with a swimming pool and an adventure playground for the kids. There is a restaurant, bar, small café and a shop. There's also a small games room with a couple of arcade games and a pool table.
The café serves a nice cooked breakfast but we didn't eat in the main restaurant or drink in the bar.
Nearby Battle and Hastings have plenty for the fellow history buffs out there yet Battle still maintains an element of life in the form of pubs and restaurants in the evenings.
The views really are something special, and with a lot of land to wander around it is the perfect getaway. It's relatively expensive for what it is, and it's not a destination for a young family, and that's why it gets three stars, but a fabulous place to stay for the right reasons. read more
