About The Bear Inn and Burwash Motel

Bodiam Castle and Battle Abbey are both within reach of Burwash, making The Bear Inn and Burwash Motel a convenient base for a day or two exploring this corner of East Sussex. Closer to home, the village itself offers walking routes, a pub or bar scene, and places to eat, so there's plenty to do without ever getting in the car.

The property combines a historic inn with motel-style rooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, and accessible rooms are available for those who need them. Guests can expect a bar on site, a restaurant serving breakfast and kids' meals, and a garden with outdoor seating where you can sit out and take in the views. Free WiFi and drinks in the room round out the practical extras, and there's a meeting room for anyone combining business with a stay.

Free on-site parking makes arriving by car straightforward, and 24 hour reception means check-in isn't tied to fixed hours. With a golf course and further entertainment nearby, plus additional restaurants and eateries close by, the inn works equally well as a stopover or a longer base for exploring Burwash and the surrounding countryside.
