About this property

Crafted at Powdermills is a unique retreat in the heart of East Sussex, built around a serene seven-acre private lake and surrounded by ancient woodlands and wildflower meadows. Designed for those seeking connection, with nature, with creativity, and with themselves, guests can enjoy cold-water swims, paddleboarding, kayaking, forest yoga, and lakeside saunas. An outdoor bathing pool and a year-round wellness programme offer moments of stillness and adventure alike. Housed in a beautifully restored Georgian Grade II-listed country house, the hotel features 55 individually designed rooms and suites, each inspired by the natural world and crafted with care. Guests can unwind at the on-site pub, restaurant, and cocktail bar, or explore creative pursuits at the Craft Barn and Art Studio. The space also hosts a members club, offering a cultural and social calendar for curious minds. For a more private escape, three charming cottages, Ash, Oak, and The Lake House, offer spacious accommodation for families, friends, or retreat groups. Each includes a kitchen, cosy living areas with a wood-burning stove, and plenty of room to relax. The Lake House also boasts a private garden, outdoor pool, and deck overlooking the lake, ideal for unforgettable group stays, special celebrations, or corporate retreats.

Property information

Located in East Sussex, TN33 - and quickly accessible from London - the hotel sits around a 7-acre lake within 78 acres of private ancient woodlands, streams, and old pastures that climb up a chalky hill. We’re welcoming nature back and inviting you to come and share time and space with it. Whether as a hotel guest or local member. A mix of rooms, suites, cottages and a lake house are available. There are 58 in total, with more in-nature options on the way. A seasonally driven all-day restaurant is fed by its own regenerative growing plots, a traditional pub has both winter fires and summer BBQs, and the Parlour lounge and Green Room cocktail bar are adults-only spaces for drinks or emails. ‘Natural wellness’ is offered throughout. That starts on the lake with a freshwater swim, paddleboard or full-moon kayak, and continues with gym workouts, Craft Barn workshops, and Art Studio sessions. Padel courts will follow shortly. Everything is designed to be physically comfortable, aesthetically pleasing, and naturally soothing. It’s not austere or earnest, showy or too serious. It’s simply somewhere that puts you at ease so you can get comfortable, let go, and go discover.
