Construction work continues to refurbish and restore the historic Powdermills Hotel in East Sussex as part of a £4.5m contract awarded to contractor Trail Group

Project Update – Powdermills Hotel, East Sussex

Work is advancing on a major refurbishment that Trail Group is undertaking at Powdermills Hotel in East Sussex for the new hospitality brand Crafted. 

This project is one of Trail Group’s largest single contracts to date – worth around £4.5m – for the first phase of the extensive refurbishment and expansion of this historic hotel estate.

  • The Pavilion which includes an impressive event space is about to be handed over.
  • In the main hotel, our construction teams are working on hotel bedroom upgrades, M&E services and an extension to the pub.
  • The outdoor swimming pool is also being upgraded and landscaping is underway in the hotel grounds.

The facilities will be handed over in phases with full completion targeting the end of this year.

Powdermills Hotel in Battle is a Grade II listed, 4-star country house hotel, which sits in 78 acres that include a private lake, streams, pastures and ancient woodland, close to the site of the 1066 Battle of Hastings.

This is the first property to be acquired by Crafted, which aims to create a portfolio of life-friendly hotels and clubs where guests and locals can benefit from nature, good food, wellbeing, crafts, socials and play.

Trail Group was appointed principal contractor for the redevelopment of the hotel estate.

The build programme represents a significant investment for Crafted to deliver an exceptional experience for guests and an expanded range of facilities in environmentally conscious surroundings.
