  • Stays at a first-rate angling centre five minutes' drive from Battle
  • A 15-minute drive to Bexhill-on-Sea; 20 minutes to Hastings
  • Eight fishing lakes, tackle shop and café on site
With eight lakes to pick from, it’s no surprise that stays on site at Wylands Farm are particularly fine options for keen anglers. But that’s not all this East Sussex site has going for it: this is 1066 country, with historic Battle about a five-minute drive away, and the south coast about 20 minutes away. All this means that Wylands is an equally fine option for the sort of holiday that mixes up fishing time and other activities (or provides alternative outings for different strands of a family group…). Those who aren’t into fishing, or want a break from the water, might like to have a wander around Hastings, hit the beach in Bexhill-on-Sea or find walking trails in the surrounding High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (or even in the 154 acres of woodland around the site). And for those looking to get stuck into the fishing? Well, there’s plenty on site – this is a place that’s earned itself a reputation as one of the best angling centres around. The eight lakes (including a catfish lake) cater for specialist, match and pleasure anglers, and there’s also a tackle shop for kit and friendly advice, along with a café and farm shop stocked with local produce to ensure you won’t go hungry. (Please note that fishing is not included and must be booked separately.) Had a good day by the lake? Take yourself off to the local pub, a mile away, to celebrate over a drink and dinner – or sort supplies at the supermarket in Battle and spend the evening tending your barbecue back on site.

What customers say

Great spot, loved the lake & bushland. Staff were ace, cafe delish. Fishing's a hit, plenty of room. Showers a bit old, some pitches bumpy. A bit of noise sometimes. Good for exploring.

Liked It was great, the lake adds so much to the stay, privacy was 10/10 , quietness, it was really comfortable, now we are booking for our next stay in August !

Disliked We didn't have internet in all the stayed, in some ways it was a truly disconnection, but some times we needed to check the maps, so it wasn't that helpful

Liked The general area is lovely. The site is well looked after with clean toilets and showers. The fishing is excellent and the lakes are well maintained. The food in the cafe is basic (egg bacon etc) but reasonably priced and the seating area is lovely and the staff were attentive and helpful.

Disliked We have stayed here several times before, it has always been a lovely tranquil and restful setting. However, this time our stay was spoilt by the 'thump thump' of drum and bass music coming from one of the workshops. We understand the need for companies to diversify but a workshop seems to be out of place within the peaceful setting of the fishery.

Liked Really nice setting with the lakes and woodland area. Flat pitches with toilet and shower facilities nearby. The site also boast a very good (and large) cafe with excellent food and barrista coffee. The site is mostly aimed at fishing and is clearly popular in that respect. But it's also very good for people who just want to pitch a tent and enjoy the scenery.

Local attractions

Before you hasten over to Hastings (20 minutes’ drive), you might want to figure out your plan of action, because there’s a lot of activities to choose from. A beach day? Up the cliff railway for views over the Old Town? Or peering at the fish in the aquarium? Castles and other historic sights are scattered around this area too, including the 14th-century Bodiam Castle (20 minutes), the 300-acre 15th-century Herstmonceux Castle (15 minutes) and the site of the 1066 Battle of Hastings (five minutes), now an English Heritage site. To add some more historic places into the mix, there’s the Benedictine Battle Abbey (five minutes) or the grand Great Dixter House & Gardens (25 minutes). And over in Bexhill-on-Sea (15 minutes), the beach is an added benefit on top of museums and the De La Warr Pavilion, which has shows and exhibitions in a Modernist building. To wash it all down, Carr Taylor Wines (15 minutes) runs vineyard tours. Or there are peaceful wildlife-packed wanders around the Powdermill Wood Nature Reserve (15 minutes’ walk) that will help to wind things down nicely.
