About this property

A contemporary cottage in the heart of Hastings Old Town with parking space,

Originally forming part of the historic Old King’s Head Pub, this unique property has been stylishly transformed into a contemporary two-bedroom cottage, completed in September 2021.

Blending character with modern design, the cottage features a traditional Victorian-style façade at the front, while to the rear a striking vaulted, barrel-shaped roof creates a bright and spacious feel.

Inside, you’ll find two comfortable double bedrooms and a light-filled living space, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. Step outside to your own enclosed private patio courtyard—ideal for morning coffee or dining on those warmer evenings.

For added convenience, free parking is available directly outside the property for a medium-sized car.

Nestled in the heart of Hastings Old Town, this charming location sits in the picturesque valley between West Hill—with its historic castle ruins dating back to 1066—and the dramatic East Hill cliffs, part of Hastings Country Park. The area offers stunning coastal walks, beautiful views, and hidden glens, where you might even spot wild ponies roaming freely.

Hastings Old Town is vibrant and full of character, hosting a variety of well-loved festivals and parades throughout the year, including Jack in the Green, the famous Bonfire celebrations, Fat Tuesday, and Old Town Week.

Step outside and explore the unique network of narrow streets and “twittens,” lined with an eclectic mix of Tudor, Georgian, and modern architecture. Discover the historic Fishing Quarter, soak up the lively atmosphere, and enjoy live music in the many welcoming pubs just moments from your door.

Just a short stroll away is the high street and bustling George Street, home to a fantastic selection of independent shops, boutiques, cafés, and eateries. The beach is only a stone’s throw away, offering plenty to see and do—from free events and concerts to the popular Seafood & Wine Festival on The Stade.

There’s something for everyone nearby, including smugglers’ caves, museums, an aquarium, a miniature railway, and the iconic funicular railway that carries you up East Hill. Along the seafront, you’ll also find amusement arcades, fairground rides, crazy golf, and the recently restored pier.

About the host

Host profile image
Hello we are María and Neil your hosts, after 16 years living in Mallorca, Spain and raising a family there we made the decision to move back to the UK in 2016 and settle in 'sunny' Hastings on the South Coast, where we converted the derelict shell of the old pub into a maisonette, shop and cottage. We now live in Rye with our daughters, dog Kalli and cat Poppy.

Why they chose this property

The Old Town is truly a vibrant and special place with so much to see and do and the added advantage of the beaches and beautiful country park - we love it here!

What makes this property unique

Originally forming part of the historic Old King’s Head Pub, we have have transformed the old games room, pub toilets and terrace into this unique property, a stylish contemporary two floored and two bedroom cottage with a hidden private patio.
