Claverton Country House Hotel

Stayed while on business in the local area. Arrived to a very quite hotel so manage to park next to the entrance. Quickly checked in & the room was great. Bit rough around the edges in places with damage to a few walls. The blind over the big double doors wasn't wide enough to fully block the sun so room is bright even when closed. Bed is comfy which is always good. Ate on site which was very good. Came quickly & was extremely hot when it arrived, what you want to see. Had a shower & found there was no large towels to be had. Plenty of small ones but not one bath towel Which seemed odd. However had a great nights sleep & breakfast was also pretty good. Overall, a great stay.

I checked into this hotel last minute when on business and my booking elsewhere had failed. Arriving late, staff could not have been more accommodating. Only slight inconvenience was that breakfast was later than I would have liked, so wasn't able to eat before leaving int he morning. The hotel itself seems like a family home and is very relaxed. Comfortable room. Quiet setting.

The hotel has some character with pleasant surroundings and a good location for exploring Hastings, Battle and the surrounding areas. On the negative side though, it is not easy to walk from the hotel and so needs to start with a drive each day. The room we had was spacious, clean and comfortable. The bathroom was not in a modern style and, as always, could do with a refresh but any hotel with older style bathrooms are the same. Breakfast was good enough for us and the bar was more of a lounge area than a real bar with drinks being brought from the kitchen on demand. Still it was nice enough to wind down after a busy day.
