The Abbey Hotel  

Did not find anything that we liked at all.

The hotel was badly run, shabby unorganised and of general poor quality.

We read a few reviews of this place that were not great, but those guest must have been real fusspots as we thought this was a great little place. Nice room, good view at front of the hotel,especially as it snowed during our stay, great breakfast, friendly staff. Would stay again.

Tiny thing. When bathroom light turned off,, fan stays on for ages.

Convenient location for my weekend with friends. Comfortable bed. Good breakfast.

Needs a decoration revamp. Room, corridor, lobby area downstairs and upstairs. Needs a proper shower in the bathroom or a proper shower to the bath. Unpleasant smell in the corridor.

It was close for visiting friends. Staff friendly and super breakfast.

Very tired and shabby.

Location was excellent for Battle bonfire event and the Abbey. Breakfast was good, although there was only one person serving, so a bit slow. Not a problem if you are not in a hurry.

We asked for two rooms together but they were in different halls which meant that we had to sleep one adult with one child rather than the two children together. There was no car park but we knew this before we booked. This is a pub with rooms, not a hotel. The pub was very busy and there was no lounge/bar area just for guests. This meant that at the end of the evening we had to retire to our rooms. I suspect this would not be such a problem at other times of year.

Location

This hotel is in urgent need of extensive refurbishing

It was in a convenient location for the wedding we were attending and is in the centre of a very nice little market town, surrounded by beautiful countryside.

There was no shower in our room.

Excellent staff and good breakfast

Room very poor quality and in need of decoration. Entrance and hallway very scruffy and carpet filthy.

The beds were very comfortable.

Very noisy if you are in a room at the front. Bathroom ventilation not working so signs of damp around the shower.

Location, friendliness of the staff, cleanliness, price, breakfast, room facilities

Cramped room, bath but not shower, can't stand up in much of bathroom, no window with any kind of view, the hotel has changed its name (now "the Abbey Inn") which wasted half an hour driving up and down the high street looking for it, no parking

Staff were friendly, bar food good value for money and location was convenient for local sights and for an overnight stay while doing the 1066 walk.

Very tired decor - stains on carpet and dirty windows. Room rather small and stuffy. No extractor fan in bathroom so very hot. Overpriced for standard of accommodation. Would not like to stay for more than one night.

We liked the location, the view of the Abbey, it was quiet and peaceful and the room was pleasant with all facilities we needed. The breakfast was delicious, served quickly, with as much tea and coffee as we wanted. Staff were polite and friendly. We also liked the dogs!

Excellent home made food, very friendly and helpful staff. The room was fairly small but still well furnished and comfortable.

There was some traffic noise, even though the window is double glazed.
