Starcroft Farm Cabins

About

Tucked away in a peaceful meadow in the heart of 1066 Country, Starcroft Farm Cabins is a haven for creativity with a rich sense of place. Set in the High Weald National Landscape, near the historic town of Battle, these thoughtfully crafted cabins provide a unique base for exploring one of England's most fascinating landscapes. With stained-glass windows and arched doors inspired by the nearby Abbey, every detail reflects the history and character of the surrounding area.

Designed with solo travellers and couples in mind, the cabins are ideal for those seeking time to rest and recharge. The three bespoke cabins are inspired by women connected to Battle Abbey, offering an alternative perspective on the 1066 story. Each cabin - Lucy, Catherine and Matilda - draws on a different period of local history, from the medieval era to the Victorian and early twentieth century. Murals by local artists, carefully curated bookshelves and vintage curiosities bring these stories to life. During the growing season, you’ll also be greeted with beautiful garden grown flowers. 

The cabins have been carefully positioned within the meadow to make the most of their natural surroundings. Large windows frame views across fields and woodland, while stargazing windows above the beds offer a chance to enjoy the area's dark skies after sunset. Whether you're enjoying a morning coffee on your deck, watching the birdlife swoop across the field or settling down with a book beneath the stars, the emphasis is on slowing down and enjoying the natural rhythms of the countryside. Each cabin even has its own phone jail, so you can take a blissful break from screens and embrace all things analogue.  

Starcroft Farm, only around 90 minutes by train from London, is perfectly placed for exploring 1066 Country. The 1066 Country Walk passes nearby, linking Battle with the surrounding countryside through ancient woodland and rolling farmland. You can explore Battle Abbey and the famous battlefield, check out Battle’s independent shops and cafes, or venture to the coastal towns of Hastings, Bexhill and Rye. The cabins are also within walking distance of a village pub, farm shop and cafe. 

For writers and book lovers, Starcroft Farm hosts a unique programme of writing, reading and creative retreats throughout the year. These small-group experiences provide precious time and space to focus on creative projects in a peaceful and supportive environment, with lots of nurturing treats along the way. You can also book your own independent retreat any time, adding on extras such as a book gift picked specially for you from the local independent bookshop.

Listed as one of the UK's most magical cabin stays by The Times, Starcroft Farm Cabins offers comfort, calm and a gentler pace while you discover the wonders of this special part of Sussex.
