    Rosie and her family are lovely and welcoming. We met the goats and chickens and our dog loved the surrounding fields for walks. The property is ideally located to visit Battle, Hastings, Rye, Camber Sands and many more. It is spacious and clean and has a nice decking area to sit and relax. We would highly recommend this property.

  • "Loose Farm Lodge has it all!"

    Located within a 5 minute drive of Battle Town Centre, 12 minute drive from central Hastings and 20 minutes from Rye, Camber Sands, Bodiam Castle and Great Dixter. The Lodge itself is modern, spacious, well furnished/equipped, clean and comfortable. It is surrounded by fields and you can sit on the patio enjoying the peace with birdsong and the occasional gentle bleat of a goat. There was a welcome pack and an Info Pack by Rosie and Jason providing details of places to visit/eat. Rosie and Jason combine hectic schedules with friendly helpful chats (goodness knows where they find the time) and it was they who recommended a walk in Battle Geat Wood (just across the road). The stay at Loose Farm Lodge was everything we hoped. I would happily recommend it and hope to return. Kevin Delaney

    Rosia & Jason were very helpful & friendly, they were on-hand to assist throughout our holiday providing advice and information about the farm, and the goats (who were also very friendly). The Lodge is well equipped, the kitchen is very well equipped. The Lodge is exceptionally clean and spacious. Our stress levels went way down, and being onely approx 3 miles from Bexhill-on-Sea we enjoyed the South downs, Seafront, and Battle (1066) historical sites and small High Street shops, cafes etc. Definitely a holiday to return to again and again.

The property

Resting on the outskirts of the town of Battle, famous for it's involvement with the battle between William the Conqueror and King Harold in 1066, is this detached lodge, Loose Farm Lodge.

Set out over a single-storey and sleeping up to four guests, Loose Farm Lodge is a family-friendly and admirable setting for your next adventure to East Sussex, located in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and within easy reach of the south coast.

You enter the property into a large open-plan living space, where you can enjoy an evening with some popcorn by the TV, or rustle up your favourite meal in the kitchen area and gather your loved ones around the dining table, whilst there is also a handy dishwasher and washing machine.

Moving through the property, there is a shower room allowing you to freshen up for the day ahead, a double room where you can escape to as the evening draws to a close and finally, a twin room with ample storage space so you can unpack any personal belongings.

Outside there is lots of land surrounding the property, as well as a private decking area with furniture with a barbecue and fire pit to enjoy whilst embracing an evening under the stars, and parking for two cars.

Wake up to the sounds of the goats and lambs in the fields near your garden area, a heart-warming touch to this already idyllic setting.

With its narrow alleys, Battle prides itself on remaining a historic landmark, although it is now a bustling and busy place that welcomes thousands of visitors from all over the world each year, who can indulge in the delights that tea rooms such as Mrs Burton's have to offer with high tea being served on tall cake stands in a quintessential English parlour dating back to the 16th century, or browse around charming shops selling local produce and hand-made goods, local butchers and organic vegetable stores where the cheeses and wines are made only a few miles away.

On the green events and exhibitions take place throughout the year from medieval fayres and scarecrow competitions, but still standing proud is the majestic Battle Abbey, with part of it's buildings now laying in ruins, it still attracts visitors who explore its battlegrounds and Abbey ruins.

Just a short drive away is the more vibrant sister, the seaside town of Hastings, also famous for it's involvement with the Battle of Hastings which in 1066 changed the course of history forever, and now offers visitors the chance to enjoy a day by the sea, swimming, sailing, fishing or wind-surfing, or why not enjoy one of the numerous restaurants in the old town with its view over Hastings Castle on the hill, or enjoy a show or at one of the theatres.

The property lies within the High Weald AONB and has attractive landscapes with a myriad of small farms, woodlands, historic parks, sunken lanes and ridge-top villages.

Also within driving distance is the seaside resort of Eastbourne, with it's gorgeous beach, selection of restaurants, bars, shops and museums.

For a quaint and fun-filled trip to East Sussex, choose Loose Farm Lodge.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.

About the location

BATTLE

Hastings 6 miles; Bexhill-on-Sea 7.5 miles; Eastbourne 15 miles.

Battle is a quaint town in East Sussex situated inland and about 6 miles from the more vibrant sister, seaside town of Hastings. Both are famous for their involvement with the battle between William the Conqueror and King Harold in 1066 which changed the course of English history forever. With its narrow alleys, Battle prides itself on remaining a historic landmark, although it is now a bustling and busy place that welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors from all over the world each year. Visitors come to indulge in the delights that tea rooms such as Mrs Burton's can offer with high tea being served on tall cake stands in a quintessential English parlour dating back to the 16th century. They can browse around charming shops selling local produce and hand-made goods, local butchers and organic vegetable stores where cheeses and wines made only a few miles away are on sale. But, standing proud over this lovely town so full of history, is Battle Abbey. Majestic in its appearance and, although with part of it's buildings now laying in ruins, it still attracts visitors who explore its battlegrounds and Abbey ruins.On the green, events and exhibitions take place throughout the year from costumed marble matches to medieval fayres and scarecrow competitions. Only a short drive away Hastings offers visitors the chance to enjoy a day by the sea, swimming or sailing, fishing or wind-surfing. Or why not dine alfresco at one of the numerous restaurants in the old town with its view over Hastings Castle on the hill, before taking in a show or a play at one of the theatres close by? Separated by only a few miles, but joined by history, Hastings and Battle are towns that offer excitement and enjoyment at any time of year.
