  • Secluded countryside retreat in the East Sussex countryside
  • A mile and a half from Battle; 20 minutes' drive to Hastings beach
  • Single wooden cabin set in two acres of rural land in 1066 Country
On the lookout for a secluded and cosy retreat in the East Sussex countryside? Make tracks to Mill Farm, home to just one wooden cabin set among two acres of rural land. Located about a mile and a half from the historic settlement of Battle, where William the Conqueror won in 1066, this is an excellent location for walks, castles and access to beaches, fishing, kayaking and more. Battle station is about a 10-minute drive away and connects the site with the capital (about an hour and a quarter away by train). With plenty of green space and a lot of privacy, this is a top pick for guests in search of that back-to-nature feel (although, as you'll see, there are plenty of creature comforts included too). Those convenient touches include a well-equipped kitchen area with an electric hob and oven, fridge-freezer, washing machine, kettle and toaster; pans, crockery, cutlery and utensils are included, including those all-important wine glasses and a cafetière. Cooking outside? A firepit, barbecue grill and picnic chairs are provided, so you can eat outdoors on the veranda while gazing up at the stars. After a long day of exploring, you can also treat yourself a hot shower before crawling into the kingsize bed (or the equally comfy other beds, in the case of extra guests).

The Summerhouse 1 bedroom cabin

The Summerhouse 1 bedroom cabin

Liked: Peaceful setting just outside Battle. It’s the perfect base to explore all the area has to offer. About 20mins drive to Rye and Camber Sands beyond and the seaside attractions of Hastings in the other direction. The cabin itself was fully equipped with everything you would need or want. Tastefully decorated and beautifully clean. Bedroom felt luxurious with its king size bed and with an added bonus of having hotel standard bedding and towels provided. The icing on the cake was the fire pit along with the space around the cabin, which was was fantastic.

Disliked: Nothing

From the manager: Katie, thank you so much for your detailed feedback! You really made our day as we try to provide for our guests as we ourselves would like. We are delighted that you enjoyed it and hope to welcome you back in the future. Thank you.

The Summerhouse 1 bedroom cabin

Liked: Lovely cabin with all mod cons to make for a comfortable stay with younger children. Host was efficient with communication and added lots of little touches to make our arrival easier. Pictures do not do this place justice, it was really lovely and beautifully clean. My boys especially liked roasting marshmallows on the fire pit and dark starry nights. Location was wonderful and we will 100% be looking to return!

Local attractions

Mill Farm is located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with spectacular places to walk all around. Five minutes by car is all it takes to get to Battle Great Woods, which is also a top spot for cycling. Alternatively, you can follow footpaths from site into the village, passing fields full of sheep and cattle along the way. Battle Abbey (five minutes' drive), where the Battle of Hastings was fought, should be next on the agenda, alongside other historic spots like Bodiam Castle (15 minutes) or Herstmonceux (20 minutes). Afterwards, treat yourself to a traditional cream tea at one of the coffee houses on Battle high street (five minutes), or sample local craft ales at nearby Battle Brewery (five minutes). Plenty of beaches are also within easy reach by car, whether you fancy a traditional bucket-and-spade day at Hastings (20 minutes) or a stroll along the seafront at Bexhill-on-Sea (15 minutes); for those happy to travel slightly further afield, there are the golden dunes of Camber Sands (35 minutes) too.
