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.

Great location and hosts
Beautiful space, perfect as a base to explore the area. Garden is immaculate and with a lovely veranda area to sit outside. Clare and Andrew were welcoming and helpful. Well stocked kitchen with all the utensils you may need and also some condiments. Lovely bathroom with a great power shower and plenty of hot water. Bed was really comfortable. Lots of local information leaflets and games (plus Lego) to keep all ages entertained if the weather is not kind.

A perfect blend of tranquility and convenience
My husband, infant and I stayed for three nights at this wonderful rental. We appreciated the impressive antiques in the home, the beautiful gardens, and the warm cozy fireplace. The place was incredibly clean and had everything we needed. We bought some groceries in town and made breakfast each morning. Clare and Andrew were both very kind and helpful when we needed them. The flat is a nice walk into town through pedestrian walkways. Our baby is still small enough that she was very easy to carry up and down the hill, but when we needed to take a taxi, it came quickly and brought us into town for a very affordable price of six euros. The bus route can also drop you off a block away from the house which we utilized a few times. Andrew recommended a few restaurants that were delicious. The flat was perfect for our needs and we would glady return.

Lovely Flat!
I am not sure where to start...this was a great base from which to explore Southeast England. Beautiful flat with comfy beds overlooking a lovely garden and view of Hastings. I was a little worried with our 6 foot boys that they would struggle with the bunk beds but they had no issues.We found on street parking was always available. A small grocer around the corner is nice and laundry is not to far away.

Beautiful apartment
Despite having probably the worst weather in months and Hastings flooding, we had a lovely time. Apartment is a quirky period place with an enormous main bedroom and large living room. Owners were lovely and kept the property lovely and warm, really needed in the awful rain and wind. Garden is beautiful, even in the rain. There are stairs down to the apartment, just a note in case you have mobility issues. Thankyou very much to Claire and Andrew for a relaxing long weekend.

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.

A really charming, quirky property. We loved the hideaway feel, the high ceilings and general character. We had everything we needed, parking was easy and the walk into town, though steep, was lovely. Would definitely stay 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.

Very happy in Old Hastings
My partner and I stayed for a weekend break at the end of April and a had a lovely relaxing time. Flat is light and airy, clean, modern with a very comfortable 4 poster bed. Lounge opened out onto a peaceful garden, great for drinks as the sun went down. Well situated for visits to Battle, Rye and to walk into Old Hastings. Would definitely recommend at least a weekend as plenty to see and do. Thank you Andrew and Clare.
