In 150 acres of gardens, park and woodland, PowderMills is a Grade II listed 18th-century country house hotel with an outdoor swimming pool and free Wi-Fi, near the historical town of Battle. Built in the 18th century as a Gunpowder Owner’s Residence, the property has seen many changes in its history, notable when it was restored and converted into the privately owned, charming Hotel it is today. The outside is enhanced by ancient wisteria and there are remains in the grounds of artifacts used for the manufacture of the gunpowder reputed to be the finest in Europe. Offering pet-friendly accommodation and full of character, all rooms are individually furnished and feature en suite bathrooms. The ground floor rooms have direct access to the garden. Powdermills features antiques, log fires, a conservatory and a library.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.4 for a two-person trip.
