Pyke House, Sussex
Pyke House is situated in Battle on the battlefield of 1066, some seven miles north of Hastings. It combines a row of three Wealden cottages built before 1480. Pyke House has tardis-like qualities with elements of a rabbit warren, but with a charm of its own. The side gate opens straight in to the next door pub while the back gate gives direct free access to the battlefield. The staff are friendly and welcoming and give the impression that nothing is too much trouble.
