A fabulous retreat and a...
Liked: Hotel was very rustic. Located in the somewhat ‘kooky’ Old town in Hastings. You felt relaxed as soon as you walked in! We were greeted by Emily, who was very welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was exceptional. A lot of variety and all fresh, homemade, organic ingredients. The food in the Old Rectory Cafe was also of very high standard. We realised quickly that this was a ‘foodie’ town - everything fully organic and home made. A huge bonus for us! The treatments at the hotel were exceptional. We’ve never felt so relaxed! Highly recommend the head and foot massages! The garden was beautiful. We had lunch on the patio in the sunshine, surrounded by wild flowers. All in all a very pleasant stay!
Disliked: The town itself was a bit tired. Couldn’t quite work out what it was. A mix of slightly run-down fairground rides and odd buildings. You get a sense that night time along the promenade might not be a place to wander round! Old Town is definitely better than ‘new town’ - would recommend staying to there. Lots of unusual buildings and quaint areas. Pubs are great! George Street in particular was very nice - very european-looking. Nice mix of kooky shops, vintage shops and cafes/restaurants. Obviously a music scene there, not unlike Brighton. We weren’t staying for the sight-seeing, we came for the hotel and treatments - which were fantastic! Food-wise, there’s lots to choose from that are all very high standard. Local fish restaurants as well!

A peaceful and refreshing stay...
Liked: A lovely and peaceful place in a perfect location—just a short walk to the Old Town. The garden is beautiful and well-kept, creating a calm and relaxing atmosphere. The staff and other visitors were all friendly, making the stay even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a quiet spot to unwind and forget about everything, this is the place to be!
Disliked: Honestly, I didn't find anything not to like. Everything met or even exceeded my expectations!

Would recommend to anyone looking...
Liked: Location perfect to explore the Old Town and seafront. The Old Rectory is stunning and the garden is a delight. We took advantage of the honesty bar just to sit in the beautifully designed lounge.Breakfast was also great with plenty of choices.
Disliked: Can't think of anything

More like a boutique hotel...
Liked: Breakfast was excellent, and unusually interesting with in house made and smoked items. Our room was very comfortable with the added pleasure of overlooking the delightful garden .
Disliked: Not sure really!
