The apartment's location is praised for being close to the beach, town centre, and in the heart of Hastings Old Town, making it ideal for exploring the local area.

Comfort receives a mixed response; while the property is spacious and has good-sized bedrooms, some guests found the sofa and seating arrangements uncomfortable.

Facilities are generally well-received with a well-supplied kitchen and extra amenities. However, some guests noted a lack of cutlery sharpness, uncomfortable furniture, and issues with the television and shower, suggesting room for improvement in maintenance.

Thoughtful gestures like fresh cake and provisions of tea, coffee, and milk are mentioned, which guests found delightful. However, as these are personal touches that may not be guaranteed, future guests should consider them a pleasant bonus rather than an expectation.

The large historic town of Hastings offers a great mix of interesting places to visit, and is comprised of three parts, joined by the promenade. On one side is the Old Town, with narrow streets or 'twittens', attractive houses, Shipwreck and Fisherman's museums, wonderful tall black net huts, a fresh fish market, seafood restaurants and cafés. In the middle there is a contemporary shopping centre and on the other side is St Leonards on Sea with its fashionable Norman Road with antique and vintage shops, art galleries, examples of Burton's architecture (of Kew Gardens and London Zoo fame), Marine Court Art Deco flats designed in the shape of the HMS Queen Mary, and the remains of the Amsterdam, which is visible at low tide at Bulverhythe. West Hill in Hastings is home to the Smugglers Adventure and Pelham Beach, and East Hill offers the Hastings Country Park, 660 acres of ancient woodlands, grasslands and heathlands crossing five miles over cliffs and rugged terrain, plus East Hill can also be reached by taking the 'lift', the steepest funicular railway in Britain. Whilst exploring Hastings, visit The Stade and watch fishermen land their catch, plus why not take a trip to Blue Reef Aquarium and the remains of Hastings Castle? Pevensey Castle, dating from the 4th century, and the first Norman Church are twelve miles away. Further afield enjoy the NT properties of Bodiam Castle, Sissinghurst and Scotney Castle, the cinque port of Rye, the abbey at Battle or the beach and dunes at Camber Sands.

    The interieur is tastefull, we really love it!!! Kitchen is good supplied, but not enough cutlery, the knives are not knives, they are not sharp, you can’t cut meat or bread. The sofa is really horrible to sit on with four people and the television is not working. The table is too high for having diner or lunch, or the chairs are too low (cold to sit on the chairs) Important: hooks for bath towels, handle in the shower, floor is very slippery, chair in the bedroom for sitting on and cloths. Extreme smell of old cellar in both bedrooms…

    The Negatives - As its a period property in a conservation area, I understand that you can not have double glazing but secondary glazing is needed as the noise from the pub on a Friday and Saturday night was really bad until midnight. The apartment is also very dark and the sink in the ensuite is far too small and only two bath towels were provided in total for a 5 nights stay which felt somewhat mean.

    The house was beautifully presented, I loved the mid century furniture and the handmade lemon cake on arrival was a lovely treat! The parking at the rear of the house is tight, but this was described in the listing. We had a great stay, the beaches are dog friendly out of season, but there are plenty of other dog walks from the house. Hastings Old Town is a great place for exploring- we would love to come back!
