Anne’s House

Located in Hastings, Anne's House boasts a prime location near the pier and station, with ample parking. Guests appreciate the cleanliness, breakfast, quirky amenities, comfortable beds, and the warm hospitality.

Anne’s house is a real gem, just a short walk away from Hastings town centre and the seafront. The hosts, Olivia and Michael, were very welcoming and did their utmost to make sure we were comfortable. Bathroom amenities included all that was required with some quirky details, which put a smile on my face. The bedroom itself was well stocked with a large selection of teas, very tasty cookies and fresh milk was available each day. The beds were very comfortable. The breakfast was made to order and freshly prepared by the hosts. Olivia and Michael are both knowledgeable about attractions and sights nearby and happily advised us. We felt truly pampered and will most certainly be back.

I spent two comfortable nights and two delicious breakfasts at this wonderful English garden of a B&B, arriving in the afternoon to the question “Would you like tea and cake?” Decorated with portraits and florals, recurring shades of green, it sits on a hill above the railway (easy access, yet quiet) and overlooking the town, ruin, and Strait of Dover. Breakfast included fresh fruit, Greek yogurt, croissant, and my choice of cooked protein. I had avocado toast and sausage one morning and egg with mushrooms and roasted, homegrown tomatoes, the second. My restful white room with blue tiled fireplace and crystal chandelier included the view of William the Conqueror’s castle ruin on the distant West Hill. That pleased me. I had plenty of tea options in my room, plus oatmeal raisin cookies, all sealed in jars, and an electric kettle, bottle of charcoal-filtered water, tea cup, and a water glass. Michael and Olivia are lovely hosts, helpful in suggesting museums and restaurants. If I had planned ahead further or stayed longer, I might have noticed the musical events that were happening in town. However I was quite happy walking around the old streets, up to the castle and park, through the “twittens”, pausing at Christopher Foyle’s house, and stopping to paint scenes en plein air…I enjoyed a relaxing stay in Hastings, made more delightful and cozy because I stayed at Anne’s House.
