    The location was perfect, close to the sea but far enough from the town centre to avoid the crowds. The bed was lovely to sleep in and had many a night's good night's sleep. Was also surprised at how warm it was, even with the storm outside...

Property information

Old Town Bolthole is the perfect romantic retreat in Hastings Old Town, East Sussex. Dating back to the 1400's it has bags of character, with exposed beams, quirky staircase and wood burner, it truly is a bolthole for that weekend getaway. Due to the age of the building, anyone over 6ft would struggle with the ceiling height. Must be able to climb stairs, as you would expect the stairs up to the bedroom and bathroom are narrow and steep. The kitchen has a combination/microwave oven and a two ring electric hob. Although the cottage doesn't have a washing machine, there is a launderette only 5 minutes walk open from 6.30am - 8pm every day. A central location makes it a great base for exploring Hastings with everything on your doorstep. An easy stroll to the sea and Hastings Country Park. Planning to eat out you will be spoilt for choice, great cafes and pubs only minutes away. There is meter street parking outside the cottage and two council car parks close by where you can purchase daily or weekly tickets.

Neighbourhood information

In the heart of the Old Town, you have pubs, cafes, bakery, deli everything you could possible need on your doorstep. Only a short stroll form the sea front and the fresh fish stalls, Hastings Country Park and selection of independent retailers. The Railway station is only 2 miles from the cottage. Hastings has a vibrant, full calendar of events happening all year round, so chances are something will be going on during a stay.
