About

Come spend time well with Crafted at Powdermills

Crafted is a collection of life-friendly hotels and clubs where guests and locals can stay, settle in and fill up on the good stuff: nature, food, wellbeing, craft, social and play. The kind of places people come back to again and again, designed to fit around real life and give you more of the things you love doing.

The first location is Crafted at Powdermills, named 'Best Place to Stay in the South East' by The Times and The Sunday Times in March 2026. Based in Battle, East Sussex, and only a 70-minute train from London, the hotel and members' club sits around a 7-acre lake within 78 acres of ancient woodland. With 51 rooms and suites, plus three cottages, and hyper-seasonal cooking in The Restaurant and The Pub, Crafted offers a year-round programme of wellness, creative workshops, cultural gatherings and outdoor dining. It's a world away from the traditional countryside hotel experience, with life centred around the lake, the woodland and a calendar designed to bring people together. The same setting makes it a natural choice for corporate offsites and private events.

Good food and drink flow throughout the day. The Restaurant is seasonally driven and fed by its own regenerative growing plots, The Pub offers both winter fires and summer BBQs, and The Kiosk is set up for coffee and grab-and-go and homemade options. The Parlour lounge and Green Room cocktail bar are social spaces for members and hotel guests for drinks, conversation or emails, while nomadic dining and private dinners are also available.

Guests and members can find a natural sense of wellbeing throughout the grounds. That starts on the lake with a freshwater wild swim, paddleboarding or full-moon kayaking, and continues across the many trails for walks, runs and rides. The Brick Barn has a gym with regular classes, while maker workshops are run in the Craft Barn and Art Studio. Two outdoor padel courts, lakeside wellness experiences and seasonal programming all form part of the wider Crafted experience.
