Lovely Stay

Review of The Laindons
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 2 Oct 2021
We recently spent five nights in Hastings and the Laindons was our home for that time.
This is a beautiful house located on the High Street in Old Hastings. The street is full of character and close to the sea and plenty of pubs and restaurants.
On arrival, we were welcomed by Malcolm who showed us to our room and also explained how breakfast works. Our room, The Red Room, is a really good size with the most amazing bed, chairs, good shower room and storage space. The tea & coffee supplied in the rooms are of an excellent quality - also home baked cookies.
Breakfast is served in a beautiful sunny first floor room and the breakfasts are superb. You order the night before and a time is allocated - worked well.
Malcolm and Karen were delightful hosts, friendly without intruding.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend a stay without hesitation.

I cannot recommend The Laindons enough. Very welcoming and friendly. Room was fabulous… well stocked mini fridge chocolates on the bed shower room fully stocked even down to mouthwash. The bed apparently hand made was just so comfortable. Breakfast ranged from a traditional full English to smoked salmon avocado fare, granola compote or a green smoothie, juices you name it! Location wise absolutely smack bang right for all the coffee shops and antique-y shops. We found a lovely pub not 2 minutes up the road and the food there was fantastic too. We went for 3-4 days and I loved every minute of it.

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.

Room tip: Parking is not the easiest at busy times in Hastings. But our tip is to park up the hill on the way in and walk down to the High Street.

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

Room tip: Visit Friday to Saturday: many restaurants and shops were shut Monday-Thursday, even though it was the height of the August holiday season

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.

We have been meaning to get away for a long weekend in Hastings for ages. Karen and Malcolm's B&B is beautiful and very well located within the old town. The bed was great and the breakfast fantastic. Very well-kept property with a very high level of customer service. Will most definitely be back.
