The details

Tucked away along a quiet cobbled twitten above Hastings Old Town, Hastings View is a charming Victorian cottage that feels wonderfully peaceful while still placing you moments from the lively seafront and historic heart of town. Sleeping four guests across two inviting bedrooms, this beautifully updated retreat combines coastal charm with cosy interiors, sea views and a wonderfully unusual outdoor space complete with its own secret cave tucked into the cliffs behind the house.

Inside, the cottage is bright, welcoming and thoughtfully designed for laidback stays by the sea. The open-plan living space is the social heart of the home, where comfy sofas and large armchairs gather around the crackling open fire, creating the perfect spot to unwind after breezy beach walks or afternoons exploring the Old Town. Double doors open straight onto the courtyard garden, allowing sunlight to stream in while connecting the indoor and outdoor spaces beautifully.

The kitchen and dining area make it easy to settle into holiday life. There’s a central island with bar stools for morning coffees and lazy breakfasts, while the dining table seats four for relaxed dinners after a day beside the coast. Equipped with everything you might need, including a coffee machine, dishwasher and washing machine, the cottage works just as well for longer stays as it does for spontaneous seaside escapes.

Upstairs, two comfortable bedrooms provide peaceful places to rest. The king size bedroom feels calm and cosy, while the twin room is ideal for children, friends or additional guests. The family bathroom includes a bath with shower over, perfect for warming up after chilly sea swims or windswept coastal walks.

Outside is where Hastings View becomes truly memorable. To the rear, the enclosed courtyard garden is framed by the dramatic cliff walls that characterise this part of Hastings, creating a wonderfully atmospheric setting for alfresco drinks or sunny afternoon lounging. Hidden within the rock is the cottage’s secret cave, adding a playful and distinctive touch to your stay. At the front of the house, a second paved garden offers lovely sea views stretching across the rooftops and coastline.

With Hastings Old Town just a two-minute stroll away, you can spend your days browsing antique shops, dipping into independent boutiques, enjoying fish and chips by the beach or settling into one of the town’s historic pubs. Whether you’re visiting during the height of summer or for cosy winter weekends by the fire, Hastings View offers a wonderfully characterful base on the Sussex coast.
