Description:
Near Battle Abbey and adjacent to the fabled battlefield of 1066, this restored Georgian house sits on 81 hectares (200 acres). On-site was a thriving gunpowder industry, which operated for 2 centuries beginning in 1676. The name of the hotel honors that long-ago tradition. Privately owned by Douglas and Julie Cowpland, the property has attracted such distinguished guests as the duke of Wellington. It's also said to be haunted by a lady dressed in white. Bedrooms are spacious and tastefully furnished, mostly with antiques and various period pieces. Some rooms offer four-poster beds. Grace notes include log fires on winter evenings, a drawing room, a music room, and the Orangery Restaurant, with its colonial-style wicker seating.
