6 room detached house, near beaches, large gardens: Hastings, East Sussex is a fantastic place to spend an active week.
The house is large and spacious, at 400 square metres floor area. The gardens are 1,300 square metres.
The holiday house is located on the edge of Hastings Country Park. You can walk out of the gardens, and walk for miles along the cliffs to remote beaches without ever seeing a road.
The kids will enjoy the vast outdoors spaces and the long cliff walks.
Hastings Old Town and local beaches: The historic Old Town centre is 1km down the hill, with its sprawling sea front and beaches.
From there, you can walk along the coast to other remote beaches, go pier and jetty fishing, or simply beachcomb among the boats of the fishing fleet.
My favourite beach is at Fairlight Glen - a fantastic walk through the Country Park. It's a nudist beach, so be warned - but nudity is not compulsory.
There's a little funfair on the seafront which is ideal for pre-teens, and a cute little seafront railway you must try. You can come back up the hill on the funicular railway if all the walking has exhausted you.
There is nowhere better for antique and junk shops.
A little bit further: Battle Abbey, scene of the famous Battle of Hastings in 1066, is a few miles inland.
I'm sure you will enjoy your stay at our delightful holiday home. Pack swimming trunks, flip flops, good walking shoes, kites (to fly on the East Hill). We have the table tennis (incl. bats and balls), petanque / boules for the garden, etc.
If you need any info while you're there just call.
