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.
