The views from the cottahe are unbelievable. Every way you look there is another stunning view. The coastal path passes right by the door and the nature reserve has a great cafe. This cottage has been beautifully renovated to provide spacious and comfortable accommodation. It has everything you could need for a short break and the location is just amazing. Incredible stay.

We have stayed in a good few properties in the UK so can say with experience that Coastguard Cottage rates as one of the best if not the best accommodation to date. The views are something else and to be situated in Hastings Country Park was fabulous. We had everything that we needed and more. Super comfy beds and sofa's and proper cutlery! In fact the kitchen equipment was exceptional overall. We will definitely be back for a Winter visit. Loved it....

About the host

Hosted by Karen Harrison

Host profile image
Our family bought the cottage eight years ago, Over the years we fell in love with the area and have now moved to Hastings old town ! As our children are now grown up . it has lots to do ... has a very village neighbourly feeling ..great pubs and good food ...as well as great vintage shops where a bargain can still be found!!! But for peace and tranquility and the views you can't beat the cottage and I still find my self staring out of windows entranced..... On a clear night you can see the lights of France twinkling across the sea. 'Stanley our dog is in heaven chasing rabbits along the cliff top, and the birds across the beach. One day we may retire to the cottage but for now we are happy to share our little piece of heaven with you !
