A warm, welcoming stay in the heart of Hastings Old Town
The Old Town Bed and Breakfast is a family run guest house in the heart of Hastings' historic Old Town, just 50 metres from the beach. Tracey welcomes every guest personally, and the house has become the kind of place people return to year after year for its comfort, its breakfasts and its unbeatable position at the centre of 1066 country.
Four tastefully styled rooms, all refurbished with modern facilities, are dressed with crisp white linen, plump pillows and soft white towels. Two double rooms have private bathrooms and sea views, while the twin and single rooms have a bathroom adjacent to the room. Wake to panoramic views, then head down to one of the house's famous breakfasts before exploring the town.
In the middle of everything
Step outside and you are among the fishing boats and net huts of Rock-a-Nore, the characterful buildings of the Old Town - some dating back to 1450 - and a choice of independent cafés, pubs and restaurants, many cooking with fresh local produce. The seafront promenade, the cliff lifts, museums and small shops are all an easy stroll away, so there is no need for a car.
Breakfast worth waking up for
Breakfast is one of the great pleasures of a stay here. A continental or full English/Irish breakfast is served every morning, freshly prepared and generously served, with vegan and other preferences happily accommodated and a simple ordering system so that everything arrives just as you like it. Meals for children are available too, so families can start the day together without fuss.
A homely base for exploring Hastings
Rooms are clean, comfortable and thoughtfully equipped, with bottled water, toiletries, tea and coffee making facilities, a television and a work desk. Guests often mention the little touches, the quiet nights and the sea views as much as the location itself.
Whether you are visiting for a seaside break, a cultural weekend or a few days of sightseeing, the combination of personal service, traditional B&B character and an Old Town address makes it easy to see why so many guests plan their next stay before they leave.
