About this property

Lovely Apartment above Hastings Old Town

The apartment opens onto the garden of our Edwardian house, above the old town of Hastings. The main bedroom has a comfortable four poster bed, the second bedroom has four poster bunk beds!
The flat has a modern kitchen including dishwasher, a bathroom with walk-in shower and a lovely living room with French windows and a cosy ‘living coal’ gas fire to warm you after a bracing autumn walk. The apartment is ideal for four people but the sofa in the living room converts into a small double bed for one or possibly two.

There’s lots to do in and around Hastings. The old town, the seafront and the country park are all just a short walk away, so whether you fancy antique hunting, beach combing or blustery walks, you’re sure to find plenty to keep you busy. Walking down through the old town to the seafront and Hastings Contemporary Gallery takes about 15 minutes. We are situated 1.5 kilometre to the old town and 2.3 kilometres to the new town.

We generally have a minimum of two night stays but, if you would like to stay for one night only, then please contact us to discuss whether this will be possible.

Clare and Andrew are truly amazing hosts: they accommodated a change of date due to the extreme weather, helped us with our bags and suggested places to visit and eat. The flat was spotlessly clean, spacious, well equipped (with dishwasher and small freezer) and we ate all our breakfasts and evening meals outside on the patio - surrounded by bird song and plants, which was heavenly!The fact that the shower room is through the small bedroom could have been clearer - luckily there is a separate toilet so my Mum's night-time wanderings did not disturb my slumbers in the four-poster single bed! All in all a perfect base for two garden and sea enthusiasts to explore this part of East Sussex including the wonderful Great Dixter house and garden.

Great hosts, great location

Second time we’ve stayed with Clare and Andrew as made so welcome on our last trip and this time was no different. The property is spotlessly clean and less than 15 minutes walk to the hustle and bustle of the old town. Great place to stay

Great location in hastings

A nice English stay over on our stop in Hastings. The location is beautifull, and a 10-15 minute walk brings to to the old hasting city center, from which you can reach all the attractions. Housing was clean and sufficient for the stay.

We had such a lovely stay - the hosts were accommodating and friendly and the property was cosy, homely and had everything we needed. We especially enjoyed sitting in the garden in the autumn mornings, which felt like a sanctuary - listening to the birds and enjoying the plants and trees. The gas fire in the living room was warming in the evenings. Beds were comfy, space was clean and it's a lovely location up on a hill, an enjoyable 15-20 minute ramble into Hastings Old Town.

Spotlessly clean and within a 5 minute drive of the beach/town centre or a 15 min walk away. Quiet location and spacious rooms. Very comfortable double bed. Lots of storage, equipped kitchen with basics - salt etc. On-street parking with spaces available. Great communication from hosts. Would book again!

Wonderful apartment

The apartment is beautiful, spacious, and well maintained. The garden is absolutely gorgeous and made for a very relaxing and peaceful respite for our family after several days in London. The owners were very kind and attentive and the apartment is in a lovely neighborhood and an easy walk to shops and pubs. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Hastings.

Great property with gorgeous garden

A lovely little break in a period property. Comfy beds with quality bed linen, good shower and delightful lounge looking over the beautiful garden. Would have liked to have walked to the old town and seafront but the weather was too bad unfortunately. A short drive takes you to the front and the quaint old town with an array of antique shops, restaurants and coffee shops.
