Tuesday 8th September 2020

We packed some things and then headed off for our favourite hotel in Battle. Third time lucky. We had a booking for March, then Covid, it was put forward until August but the hotel decided to open later than most and so it was moved again to September! At last! We have really been looking forward to it even though things won’t be the same.

We stopped for a walk around Hamstreet woods, a lovely walk with Ellie.

We then had  lunch at The Three Oaks, a pub we have been to before. They are a really nice couple who own it. Of course we sat out in the garden with Ellie. Mal loved his ham egg and chips! The telephone box just outside was full of paperbacks!

From there, not far to the Powdermills Hotel. It must be about 25 years we have been coming here and always with whatever dog/s we have had at the time. It is extremely dog friendly. We checked in and were given details of how we have breakfast etc. (Due to Covid) We have to wear masks in all public areas in the hotel. The staff will not be servicing our rooms during our stay but we just have to ask for clean towels/refills etc.

We unpacked and then went for a walk around the hotel’s woods and had sandwiches in the grounds.

In the evening we had drinks by the pool.

Ellie settles down with her cuddly toy, for a good nights sleep!
