Overview
Property code: OC-92841

This stylish holiday cottage is perched on the picturesque West Hill of Hastings, with its commanding position overlooking the stunning English Channel and the iconic Hastings Old Town below, this idyllic location offers breathtaking panoramic views that will leave you mesmerized. Step outside and a short stroll downhill takes you to the heart of the Old Town filled with an array of restaurants, cafes, and boutique shops to indulge in. Spend the day exploring the historic charm of Hastings, strolling through its quaint cobbled streets, visiting the medieval Hastings Castle, and enjoying the vibrant fishing community atmosphere. Take a trip on the East Hill funicular railway which takes you up to the spectacular views from Hastings County Park, or a visit to Smugglers Adventure, nestled just below the house, gives a flavour of Hastings' smuggling past. Slightly further afield are many historic castles and gardens to enjoy such as Bodiam Castle, Great Dixter House and Gardens, or Herstmonceux Castle.

Step through the front door where a warm welcome awaits as you enter this stylish designed, vibrant open-plan lounge/diner boasting an electric flame effect stove nestled in the fireplace for chilly evenings. Relax on the comfy seating and enjoy listening to music on the Sonos sound system or catch up on your favourite TV programmes on the Smart TV with DVD player. A dining table and chairs offer the perfect place for an evening of board games after a relaxed family meal that has been whipped up in the well-equipped kitchen located just off the dining area. A door from the kitchen leads out into the courtyard area at the rear of the property. Heading upstairs to the first floor you will reach the first of the two large family bathrooms.

This house is perfect for exploring Hastings but also getting away from it all and enjoying peace and quiet. It is very well equipped and comfortable. The hike up and down West Hill is challenging but our party of 2 adults and 3 children loved the challenge.

A beautiful home, very comfortable and in a good location with sea views. Very clean and good provisions. Steep hill back up from the town, but you can take the little hill carriage. Hastings has some lovely old pubs and restaurants and the old part has some great independent shops.

This is a very nice house with a high standard of fixtures and fittings, Good position for accessing the `old` town. Not ideal for older folks with any mobility problems as Hastings is VERY hilly!. Parking was not always easy and this was mid-March. Could be a problem in summer months. All in all a very good break blessed by some brilliant weather Read more(Not sure about Marilyn Monroe- she is a bit dominant in the nicely furnished lounge!) Hide

We spent three nights at the house over the Christmas break with our dog. It was the perfect festive hideaway! The house was clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. It is well equipped with everything you could need for your stay and the owner was very helpful. We really enjoyed the close access to old town and the beach- lots of lovely walksRead more. The park opposite was also great for the dog. We would definitely come back! Many thanks Hide
