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.

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.

About the host

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 !
