We stayed here for an anniversary treat. Jason is a first class host, making sure that everything was covered in his introduction when we arrived, asking about our dietary requirements and making us feel welcome. Nothing was forgotten and the only downside was the weather, however Hastings is a lovely place to visit and we will be back. Thankyou again for a lovely stay.

Myself and my partner had a fantastic four night stay and we cannot wait to return! This was the perfect place to stay for a relaxing break, we stayed in the Blue Room which was very comfortable, stylish and spacious with a beautiful view of Hastings and the sea and great facilities. The grounds of the hotel are brilliant including an outdoor pool which we really enjoyed stocked with suncream, towels and water. Breakfast was fantastic and Jason and the staff were all really friendly and welcoming, and we very much enjoyed the hot chocolate every night. We couldn't recommend it highly enough and

This hotel is run by people who have an eye for detail and perfection. My room was immaculate and with many additional items you wouldn't find in much more expensive hotels including Strathmore bottled still water and a cafetiere and Colombian coffee in the room. I was given a very warm welcome by Jason on arrival and there was complimentary hot chocolate with marshmallows served at 8pm. The breakfast was perfect with very high quality ingredients. The views from the gardens and Breakfast Room are fantastic. I was staying here for work in the local area but I would encourage anyone to stay

Nice room, great bathroom. Pretty gardens. Visit spoilt though by lack of vegan food. I did phone before and my understanding was that my diet would be catered for. It was not ! No dairy free yogurt or milk at breakfast. I was told " we don't cater for vegans"....despite this being in Hastings, described , on a Google search as the most vegan town in England..the vegan society is/ was based in the area! This visit was a birthday treat. It was nice in many ways, but I was made to feel like a fussy complaining guest, when all I wanted was to follow a caring, compassionate diet that respects animals
