House In Hastings

Perched proudly on historic Croft Road on Hastings’ atmospheric West Hill, House in Hastings is a spectacular five-storey Regency home where grand interiors, dramatic sea views and flamboyant design combine to create an unforgettable seaside escape. Sleeping up to 10 guests and just a short stroll from the beach and buzzing Old Town, this luxurious retreat is made for memorable gatherings by the coast.

Behind its elegant Regency façade lies a wonderfully theatrical world curated in House of Clarkson’s signature style. Rich colours, vintage chandeliers, statement artwork and sumptuous furnishings fill every room, while working fireplaces and cosy corners ensure the house still feels warm, welcoming and wonderfully liveable. The result is a glamorous home-tel that feels decadent yet deeply comfortable, equally suited to celebratory weekends with friends or relaxed family getaways by the sea.

The expansive entertaining spaces are a real highlight. Gather for cocktails and long conversations in the lavish sitting room before sitting down together in the beautiful dining room, where a table for 10 sets the scene for celebratory feasts and special occasions. Catering and service can also be arranged on request, allowing you to fully settle into holiday mode while someone else takes care of dinner.

Across the five floors, the house sleeps 10 guests in five beautifully styled bedrooms, each enjoying breathtaking sea views across Hastings Old Town and the coastline beyond. Four bathrooms and two additional cloakrooms ensure there’s plenty of space for everyone, while luxurious touches including roll-top baths, walk-in drench showers, Smart TVs and an integrated Sonos system elevate your stay throughout.

Outside, the enchanting rear Courtyard Terrace feels like a hidden sanctuary tucked into the hillside. Framed by the distinctive stone and caves of West Hill, with ferns and a living wall of ivy adding to the magic, it’s a dreamy setting for alfresco dinners, evening drinks and slow mornings in the sea air. At the front of the house, the sunny Pavement Patio offers another lovely spot for coffee and pastries before heading out to explore.

And with Hastings’ beach, harbour, galleries, museums, independent shops and excellent restaurants all within a five-minute walk, you couldn’t ask for a better base from which to experience this vibrant and creative seaside town.
