What guests think

Across reviews, The Abbey Hotel is praised for good breakfast and pub food and a central location opposite Battle Abbey, while rooms are comfortable but sometimes small, and front rooms can be affected by traffic or pub noise.

Service is consistently friendly and accommodating. Rooms and common areas are generally clean, with occasional worn furnishings or odours; overall, expect a cosy, characterful pub-with-rooms.

Very convenient location opposite the abbey and it is a nice pub with friendly staff and good breakfast, but the traffic noise is loud (in the rooms facing the abbey) and the mattress had lost almost all padding on one side, the chair in the room was badly stained which would put me off returning. I know they can't do anything about the traffic noise, but they could replace the mattress and chair and provide complimentary earplugs, especially in the summer when the windows need to be open.

This was a fun place to stay while visiting the battle field. The village was very interesting with many small shops. The room appeared to be recently renovated and staying above a pub was a fun experience. The pub itself was also excellent. Our only complaint was lack of air conditioning...which resulted in us opening a window...and listening to traffic (the road out front is very busy) All-in-all, I would strongly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area

Very nice room although on the small side and the steep steps to the rooms with numerous doors to negotiate wasn't easy. Unfortunately the window would not open it would have been nice to have a little fresh air over night. Lovely meal at the pub downstairs and we were lucky to get overnight parking right outside the building, very central.

Such a beautiful pub with comfortable rooms. Staff were ever so welcoming and the room was spacious and clean. Was very surprised with my stay there even though it was just for one night. The breakfast was amazing too, cooked to order!

I loved the position of the hotel. The views from the front were lovely. I was shocked by the noise on the saturday night from the live music. Fortunately, it all stopped after 11pm( something to think about if you've got young children)

We booked room 2 for £160, they moved us without telling us to a room at the back of the hotel for £150, but wouldn’t give back the £10 back. Apart from that everything was fine.

I have stayed here a few times and have always had a good stay. The staff are very friendly, and the food is very good and the rooms have everything you need. I was asked if I wanted to change my room when I arrived as the one I booked had a bath and another room was free with a shower, this was done without me asking, although I was not fussed but changed rooms anyway.

Stayed for three nights with my young puppy and really enjoyed it. Very kind and helpful staff, especially Max, Sarah and Rachel in the bar restaurant. Nothing was too much trouble and the atmosphere in the place was superb. Travelling alone, I felt very welcome and will definitely go back next time I’m in UK.
