About this house rental
A unique opportunity to stay in this lovely light-filled home which is welcoming discerning guests for the first time in 2026.
The Lodge offers a wonderful garden retreat, set back from the street and nestled above quirky historic Hastings Old Town. It is in close proximity to the large open space of the West Hill, with its panoramic sea views and easy access to the seafront and both sides of town.
The property is a late Georgian detached villa, which has been sensitively extended to include 2,000 square feet of both modern and historical spaces. The art and antique filled interior has been lovingly styled to be full of variety and contemporary vintage personality.
There is a strong indoor-outdoor flow with all the main rooms having double doors leading onto the garden. To the rear there is a large south facing terrace and lawn area with mature and exotic planting. At the front there is a gated driveway and plenty of room for parking.
This special place really does offer the perfect destination for a comfortable relaxing stay within easy reach of everything Hastings and the surrounding area has to offer.
ACCOMODATION
- Sleep soundly in three distinctly styled bedrooms overlooking the garden
- Bathe in a large beautifully designed bathroom or separate downstairs shower room
- Relax in a stunning double reception room full of interesting features
- Prepare meals in a fully equipped kitchen and utility room
- Dine in a spacious open plan dining room with seating for 6 people
- Catch up with work in a light-filled office space with bifold doors into the garden
- Enjoy a drink under a parasol on the terrace or soak up the sunshine on the lawn
PLEASE NOTE
Instant bookings aren't accepted so please 'contact host' to discuss what you're looking for and make sure The Lodge is the right fit before making a booking request. This is a private home rather than a commercial rental property and is best suited to families or small groups looking for a stylish seaside stay. It is not suitable for parties or events.
Beds: The house can accommodate up to 6 adults and 2 children. There is a £30 supplement per person per night for over 6 people.
Kids: I'm happy to discuss this but the house isn't well suited to young children since it has delicate objects and furniture and there are large spiky plants in the garden. Children need to be supervised.
Pets: Again, let's discuss this but my cat Indigo says that one small dog is welcome to stay while she's away provided they are house-trained and well behaved. There is a £15 supplement per night for pets.

SURROUNDING AREA
Hastings is one of the most characterful seaside towns in the South East, known for its quirky charm, independent shops and thriving arts scene. I can give lots of advice on getting the best out of your visit and guests will be given access to my 'Outsider guide to Hastings' app with all the best local places to know about.
There's a useful convenience store just round the corner along with a local pub and an excellent café kiosk five minutes away on the West Hill, overlooking the sea. There's an eclectic array of shops and restaurants in historic Hastings Old Town and all the practical conveniences you might need in the New Town, each just a scenic ten minute wander down the hill.
There are various interesting routes down to town but it's worth bearing in mind that the walk does involve steps in places and the hill is quite steep so perhaps not ideal for the faint hearted! A stroll along the seafront brings you to the vibrant neighbourhood of St Leonards-on-Sea, known for its culinary hotspots, creative energy and bohemian atmosphere.
TRANSPORT
If you're coming by car, there's plenty of parking on the gated driveway, along with free parking on the street.
If you're coming by train, the house is a short cab ride or 20 minute walk up the hill from the main Hastings Station. Alternatively the smaller Ore Station is an easy 10 minute away with the option of changing at Ashford to get the fast train into London.
