Quirky and cool, this loft apartment may be small, but it's packed with personality. Let's start with the design – there's a cow-print sofa that puts the 'moo' in smooth and funky cow-themed artwork adorning the walls. It's not something you see every day – especially not in a seaside village in East Sussex – but that's precisely why we love it. But the fun doesn't end there – a huge collection of DVDs, books and CDs will keep the boredom at bay, there’s a desk for remote working and the compact yet well-equipped kitchen is ideal for rustling up tasty breakfasts to start the day off right. Our favourite spot is the chaise lounge in the bedroom – sprawl out with a glass of wine, a good book and admire the views over St Leonards. Nestled in a Victorian conversion in the creative quarter, you'll be well-placed for exploring the village on foot. Everything is within walking distance – from the lively cafes and shops on Kings Road (just aro...
Set on the second floor of an apartment building overlooking Hastings' pedestrianised high street, this spot is right in the thick of the action. Lap up the atmosphere of the Old Town from the private balcony with a glass of wine in hand. It's the perfect place for people watching as you'll be surrounded by plenty of bars, restaurants and independent shops. All this – plus the beach and the seafront are just a three-minute stroll away – you can smell the sea air from the balcony. Inside the apartment, contemporary interiors present a comfortable space with an open plan living and dining area which invites in natural light all day long. Providing an idyllic spot for a solo traveller or a couple visiting Hastings, you'll enjoy the convenience of this home the most. Serve up a home-cooked meal at the dining area or head to the beach for some fish and chips by the sea. Enjoy wandering the historic streets by day and drinking in the local ba...
Just round the corner from Norman Road, known for its buzzy blend of quirky cafes, independent shops and art galleries, this delightful home has character, charm and incredible sea views. Tucked away in a historic side street, it's a quiet home with a laid-back feel. First and foremost, it's super stylish, with wood floors and white walls acting as a canvas for pretty houseplants, vibrant modern art and contemporary furnishings. There's a cosy log burner for those cooler evenings by the sea and a supremely comfortable sofa for lounging on. You'll have everything you need in the smart kitchen and from here you can step out of the French doors to a real treat every morning – a private balcony with views across the rooftops to the nearby sea. Up another flight of stairs, two good size bedrooms and a bathroom mean it's suitable for a small family or a couple of friends, and those views just keep coming. Walk to the beach in minutes and stro...
It's no wonder this glass-fronted eco-lodge squirrelled away in leafy protected woodlands has graced every high-end interior glossy going – and a few home design TV shows to boot. The ultimate year-round hideaway, here you'll swoon over the minimalist Scandi interiors, complete with a floating wood burner for winter nights and a pebble bath overlooking the forest for long soaks. Your host can arrange personalised woodland yoga sessions and food hampers for a little extra luxury. Fancy a little bustle? The vibrant villages and seaside towns of East Sussex are a short drive away. Although with wood stacked by the fire at home, why you'd ever want to leave this place is anyone's guess. *Due to this home's woodland location, we recommend having a car to get the most out of your stay, and there is ample space for parking outside. *The bedroom nook sits at the back of the lodge, cordoned off from the living space by curtains. *This home can...
This beautiful beachfront home is located in the popular seaside resort town of St Leonards in East Sussex. It’s close to sites of historical importance like Bodiam Castle and the ruins of Battle Abbey, but you may find yourselves entirely content to stay put – the beach is directly in front of the house, after all. When you’re not paddling or eating fish and chips on the beach, you’ll have a private hot tub to relax in on the terrace. This former boutique hotel is perfect for large groups, with eight en-suite bedrooms and plenty of space for gathering together. *Two well-behaved dogs are welcome to join you with prior approval from your host. They must stay on the ground floor and are only allowed in one of the bedrooms. *There are two allocated parking spaces in the secure car park. *This home is spread over five floors so it may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility. *Your host can provide a travel cot and high chair f...
