About this property

Coastguard Cottage With Sea Views

This victorian coast guard cottage sits high on top of the cliff in acres of country parkland. With spectacular views from every window ! A paradise for walkers, ( and dogs ! ) it also has the benefit of being 10 mins drive from Hastings Old Town with its famous fishing community, eclectic mix of shops, restaurants, beach and rail link to London and Brighton.
15 mins in the other direction takes you to the beautiful clique port town of Rye and the white sand beach at Camber beyond.
The new visitor centre in the country park , is a stroll away, good for breakfast or light lunch .
“The Cove “ is a 20 min walk across the cliff top into Fairlight village. A very good foodie pub, using local produce and serving local beer, it has something for everyone with lovely atmosphere.

Wir hatten eine fantastische Zeit in diesem wunderschönen Ferienhaus und können es zu 100% weiterempfehlen. Die Lage ist einfach unschlagbar: Ruhig gelegen und nah genug, um die Küste zu erkunden. Der perfekte Ort, um wirklich abzuschalten und die Seele baumeln zu lassen.Das Haus hat einen ganz eigenen, positiven Charme und Charakter, in den man sich sofort verliebt. Es ist liebevoll eingerichtet und man fühlt sich sofort willkommen. Es fehlt wirklich an nichts – von der Küche bis zu den gemütlichen Schlafzimmern war alles vorhanden, was man für einen entspannten Urlaub braucht.Wer dem Alltag entfliehen und die Schönheit der englischen Südküste in vollen Zügen genießen möchte, ist hier genau richtig.

Sehr erholsam

Das Haus ist sehr schön und gemütlich eingerichtet und mit allem Nützlichen ausgestattet. Nur im Wohnbereich sind die Lichtverhältnisse etwas spärlich. Wir fanden es eine freundliche Geste der Vermieterin, Brot,Butter, Marmelade und Milch bereit zu stellen

Lovely cottage with great views

We found the cottage to be very comfortable and well equipped. Great walks direct from the front door especially to The Cove for a very enjoyable early dinner. We all agreed it is one of the nicest places we have stayed in. We would love to return in the summer to really explore the area and see the views on sunny days.

Behind a modest façade lies a perfectly modernized and cosy cottage with a fenced garden for a dog. Stunning seaviews and only 100 meters away from the coastal path with great walks!

Geweldig vakantiehuis

Prachtig huisje, gezellig ingericht als een echte Engelse cottage, een fijne tuin en de omgeving is ontzettend mooi! Overal uitzicht op zee en een prachtig wandelgebied. De bedden liggen erg goed en als welkom stond er een heerlijk vers brood klaar met gezouten boter. .

About the host

Hosted by Karen Harrison

Host profile image
Our family bought the cottage eight years ago, Over the years we fell in love with the area and have now moved to Hastings old town ! As our children are now grown up . it has lots to do ... has a very village neighbourly feeling ..great pubs and good food ...as well as great vintage shops where a bargain can still be found!!! But for peace and tranquility and the views you can't beat the cottage and I still find my self staring out of windows entranced..... On a clear night you can see the lights of France twinkling across the sea. 'Stanley our dog is in heaven chasing rabbits along the cliff top, and the birds across the beach. One day we may retire to the cottage but for now we are happy to share our little piece of heaven with you !
