Fox Meadow

About this property

Tucked away in the countryside on the outskirts of the historic town of Battle, Sussex is Fox Meadow. This wonderful annexe is lovingly named after the family of resident foxes living nearby and benefits from a charming patio area with breath-taking views across the countryside and sheep in the encompassing fields, off road parking and close proximity to the attractions in Battle, the perfect setting for a romantic getaway. After a day of exploring, snuggle up on the sofa while your partner pampers you with a delicious meal prepared in the fully-equipped kitchen. If the sun is shining, dine alfresco at the picnic bench where you can cherish these tranquil moments with your loved one while the sun setting over the rolling hills provides a truly memorable backdrop. When the sky darkens, head inside to wash off the day in the sleek shower room before heading for some much-needed rest in the double bedroom. During the day head into the heart of Battle where you can stock up on essentials at local stores or enjoy date nights at pubs including the charming Kings Head pub or The Sweet Olive. A vibrant history forms the foundation of this town, explore the site of the famed 1066 Battle of Hasting at the English Heritage Site or amble through the ruins of Battle Abbey where you visit the battlefield before paying a visit to the Crypt Chapels. On sunny days head straight for the coast in Hastings where you can find the golden shores of Hastings Beach perfect for soaking up the sun or splashing around in the sea. The seafront is lined with attractions including miniature golf and Hasting’s Aquarium where you can marvel at sea creatures from the immersive underwater tunnel; and don’t forget to visit the Norman ruins of Hastings Castle. Make memories at Fox Meadow.

Located in East Sussex, about 6 miles inland from its more bustling sister city, Hastings on the coast, is the small town of Battle. Both gained notoriety after taking part in the 1066 battle that decided the fate of England between William the Conqueror and King Harold. Although it is now a bustling and busy place that welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors from all over the world each year, Battle takes pride in maintaining its historic landmark status, with its narrow alleys. High tea is served on elaborate cake stands in a traditional English parlour from the 16th century, and guests flock there to indulge in the delights that tea rooms like Mrs. Burton's have to offer. Local butchers and organic vegetable stores stock cheeses and wines produced within a few miles, and there are plenty of other quaint shops for them to peruse as they sip and savour their purchases. In contrast, the majestic Battle Abbey towers over this picturesque community. Majestic in appearance, and even though many of its buildings are in ruins, it continues to draw tourists who want to see the sites of historic battles and the crumbling ruins of an ancient Abbey. Events as diverse as costumed marble matches, mediaeval fayres, and scarecrow competitions are held on the green throughout the year. A day at the beach, swimming, sailing, fishing, or wind-surfing is just a short drive away in Hastings. Or you could enjoy a meal outside at one of the many eateries in the historic district and take in a play or concert at one of the theatres in the area afterward. Hastings and Battle, two historic towns that are only a short distance apart, have something exciting and enjoyable to offer visitors year-round.
