Hastings is one of our favourite UK short breaks and The Laindons is our go to place to stay. We first stayed in February 2018 for the Fat Tuesday Mardi Gras ( also recommended) and we had a return visit in August 2021. The bedrooms have been redecorated and are just as individual as before and the breakfast is just as good in the dining conservatory with view over the Hastings ‘valley’. We send our best wishes to Malcolm, Karen and housekeeper Amanda. We will certainly return perhaps as soon as Fat Tuesday 2022.

3 day visit mid-week before August bank holiday
Beautiful house in the historic old town. 5 minute walk to the beach, restaurants, old shopping streets and other attractions
Our bedroom (Coral) was quiet, very spacious, restful, very comfortable bed, nice bathroom. All spotlessly clean.
Tasty breakfast, in a lovely bright conservatory
The owners, Malcolm and Karen, are very friendly and made us feel right at home

Malcolm and Karen were the perfect hosts and made our stay in Hastings extra special. Their attention to detail and amazing hospitality was second to none and we loved Malcolm’s enthusiasm and focus on making sure we had the best time we could. Their breakfasts were the stuff of legends and you really must try Karen’s blueberry pancakes they are fabulous! We very much enjoyed our time with Malcom and Karen and my only regret is that we didn’t have more time to stay a further night.
