Quirky and cool, this loft apartment may be small, but it's packed with personality. Let's start with the design – there's a cow-print sofa that puts the 'moo' in smooth and funky cow-themed artwork adorning the walls. It's not something you see every day – especially not in a seaside village in East Sussex – but that's precisely why we love it. But the fun doesn't end there – a huge collection of DVDs, books and CDs will keep the boredom at bay, there’s a desk for remote working and the compact yet well-equipped kitchen is ideal for rustling up tasty breakfasts to start the day off right. Our favourite spot is the chaise lounge in the bedroom – sprawl out with a glass of wine, a good book and admire the views over St Leonards.
Nestled in a Victorian conversion in the creative quarter, you'll be well-placed for exploring the village on foot. Everything is within walking distance – from the lively cafes and shops on Kings Road (just around the corner) to the sprawling beach (a mere five-minute stroll) and train station (walkable in two minutes). Catch a flick at the independent cinema, grab a bite to eat at the numerous restaurants on the waterfront or wander along the seaside promenade and visit Hastings, a fifteen-minute walk away.
