The Cottage
Cannot fault our stay so top marks and would definitely recommend. The hosts where so helpful and kind, they left us lovely welcome treats and flowers. The hosts also quickly resolved a minor problem we had. The cottage was clean, organised and had every utensil you could think of in the kitchen. The cottage has interesting history and is documented in the welcome pack along with plenty of useful information. The Cottage is well located to all that Hastings has to offer. The private allocated parking adds to a stress free stay. Thank you both so much Steve, Sarah, Abbie and James 🌼

Great break
Just had a 5 night break and couldn't fault the property which is exactly as described and furnished to a high standard with everything you need. Located a ten minute walk from the lovely old town for great food and pubs and less than 5 minutes from East cliff park with fantastic views and walking routes. Sue and her husband were on hand to resolve an issue with the cooker, replacing it with a new one within 24 hours and are lovely welcoming hosts. We also managed to park a large SUV at the house without any issues so ignore any negative comments about parking. Highly recommended.

Brilliant hone away from home
The Cottage was a great experience from beginning to end, with thoughtful extra provisions awaiting our arrival, really magnificent decor still with a very homely, cosy feel. The location is a short walk from Hastings’ Old Town and to country trails. Our extended family all loved our time together in this special place.

Belmont Cottage, Hastings Old Town
The property is unusual. It comprises two floors with bedrooms & bathrooms on both levels. Kitchen & dining room on lower level. Very well equipped & all rooms bigger than we expected. A selection of cakes plus milk & orange juice etc was a nice present. Belmont Road outside the cottage however is a narrow road with a loose badly pot holed surface. Reversing into the parking courtyard requires a reasonable degree of skill, even with modern reversing aids. Particularly if two cars are to be parked. Sue the host was very welcoming and close by if required.

Excellent short getaway!
During this grim period we needed a short break. And found Hastings perfect. Sue & Robert's small cosy place was the perfect choice we made. Its a beautiful historical cottage furbished very tastefully and very clean. To welcome us she had put some lovely cup cakes & tea/coffee for us. And of course for our 5 month frenchie a very cosy bed and small bites/biscuits which he absolutely relished!! The cottage is about 20 minutes walk into the high street or if you want to walk along the shore. There are some good pubs & restaurants to eat. Unfortunately we had to do takeaway as it was only outdoor sitting & a bit cold in eve. We shall come back with a bigger group as we absolutely loved the town, the sea, restaurants and the cosy cottage. Perfect getaway!!!!
