Would highly recommend a stay here. Tracey is so friendly and welcoming and cooked an amazing breakfast! Nothing was too much trouble for her.

Our room was perfect, great location just steps away from the seafront and the centre of The Old Town. Rock-a-nore was a few minutes walk.

The only negative is there are steep stairs so if you’re not able to manage this you will miss out on the best B&B in Hastings. Room 4 is the best if you have some mobility issues as you only encounter one set of steep stairs (there are stairs leading up to these but they are not steep and very manageable) even with my dodgy knee and hip.

Thank you Tracey for a wonderful stay - we will be back!

My boyfriend and I stayed for 3 days and have zero faults!

The entire place was incredibly clean and the beds were SO comfortable. On top of that, Tracey was lovely! The breakfasts were all expertly made (I made my way through a couple of them) and the entire stay had a homely feel that didn’t feel overpowering.

The room had amenities most hotels don’t provide, including Prime, Disney, Netflix and NowTV logged in on the tv.

The venue is bang in the middle of old town and literally a stones throw from the beach.

We’re already planning another trip and cannot thank Tracey enough for being such a wonderful host.

Tracey was a brilliant hostess: friendly, helpful and always cheery. The breakfasts were excellent and while the room was somewhat compact, it had everything you need, including a very comfy bed!
Stairs were a challenge, especially to one who has dodgy knees! Also, parking is an issue, although there is a dropping off zone. In all, a lovely stay and would return when next in Hastings.

Brilliant B&B in The Old Town

Very impressed with pre-arrival information supplied by Owner/Host, Tracey.
We stayed in Room 7, which has amazing views of the Beach & Funfair.
Note, approx 56 steps up to the 3rd floor, so not suitable if you have mobile issues. As it isn't directly on the busy main road, traffic noise was minimal.
Situated on the corner of George Street and Old Town, ideal for restaurants and pubs.
Breakfasts were brilliant and Tracey made us feel very welcome.
The pay per stay carparks (£9 for 24hrs) are about 7 minutes walk away, but get there early to ensure of a space.
Would definitely stay again if we're in the area, recommended.

5 star guesthouse in Old Town

We were a little taken aback with exterior appearance when we first arrived, but the inside is definitely a lot better. We had the ensuite double bedroom at the top floor with sea view, and the room is very spacious & comfortable. There was also a small children bed as a spare. Being on the top floor, the ceiling height was a little low, so anyone over 6 feet may find it too low but we find it rather cosy.
The room furnishing were quite new with a large bath with shower partitioned off from the main bedroom (no door) but its very private. Initially we had the window open & the noise from the fair ground opposite was a little too loud, but when you close the window, the double glazing cut out all external noise & we had very peaceful night sleeps. Although be prepared for 5am dawn chorus of seagulls when the fishing boats return with the catch; but this is the charm of staying near the seafront next to working fishing harbour.
The location could not be any more central. Its in the centre of the Old Town and George Street & High Street are both near by and have many pubs & restaurant to choose from. You are spoil for choice when it comes to thing to do. Jerwood Gallery is right opposite & there's two large public car parking to choose from for your car.
Tracey & her helpers are all very friendly can not be more helpful. You can easily leave your bags with them when you arrive early. The breakfast was amazing, and with many to choose from. Will love to come back again soon.

Disappointed

Sad to say that the room was far to small for us, the bed to small and we felt very cramped. Breakfast was lovely but found that if we didn’t check the blackboard to see if our order was still on it, breakfast was not registered as us wanting one, we had the same breakfast everyday but it was rubbed off on the last day and the owner didn’t realise we wanted it even though it was not wiped off by us.

Lovely little guest house right off George street where many of the restaurants are located. Rooms are clean and tidy (I have a 4/5 as the rooms could perhaps do with a lick of paint), but it's an old style guest house so for me it's what I expected. Owner is lovely and accommodating, even cooking breakfast (very nice full English) earlier at my request. Overall, great little guest house in an ideal location, with a very welcome owner.

Perfect place to stay for a home away from home

Fantastic room, fantastic hotel, fantastic host. Even left a thank you card and a gift, and I recommend you do the same once you've experienced it.

We had the room with the sea view (if you go there for June-July you get to see a live seagull nest on the roof opposite the window, best way to start your day!). Beautifully furnished, just has a perfect cosy homely feel. Giving you comfort on holiday, feels like a home away from home the second you get there.

Tracey is relentless, she makes you a gorgeous breakfast in the morning (even for veggies!), complimented by a really beautiful coffee. Then she cleans all the rooms herself and somehow manages to do everything else in the day! Whenever she's unavailable you need not despair, Emily is available to attend to your needs as well!

Myself and my partner really can't rate this place highly enough. Just read this, and all the other reviews here saying how amazing it is. Then go there yourself and leave your own glittering review, you'll certainly want to!

Thank you again Tracey, Emily, and anyone else who made our stay unforgettable, we shall certainly meet again. Send my love to the baby gulls once they're grown up and ready to leave home!
