This beautifully quaint cottage manages to retain all of its original features while boasting the usual mod-cons and contemporary features for a comfortable stay in a fantastic seaside location. Set in the heart of Hastings Old Town, you'll discover a muddle of century-old houses, traditional pubs and artsy shops tucked between two cliffs a fifteen-minute walk east of Hastings main town. Back home, there's a cosy and welcoming living room, with low ceilings and exposed beams that really pack a punch, plus board games and books to idle away rainy days. While the period features add interest, our favourite feature is the electric heater with the appearance of a rustic wood-burning stove – it sums up the home's blend of old and new perfectly. Upstairs you'll find striking stained glass windows in the hallway, two comfy bedrooms and a modern metro-tiled bathroom. Knock up a lazy brunch in the fully-equipped kitchen – complete with a sociable breakfast bar – and plan out the day's tourist itinerary. Whether you're taking a short stroll up the road to explore the charming High Street or spending a fun family day down at Rock-A-Nore Beach, only a five-minute walk from home, there's a great close-knit community feel, amazing food and pretty views all within reach. Round off the day with a glass of wine from your private garden overlooking East Hill and the beautiful natural surroundings.

Best known for a battle which actually took place some miles north, Hastings is an ancient south coast fishing town with so much going on it’s hard to know where to start.
