55 High Street

Nestled in Hastings Old Town, the apartments entrance is on the historic High Street. You enter through your own private garden which has some history itself. The sunken garden was once the basement of an old inn, where the Duke of Wellington was said to have hidden. Quite literally the cherry on top ... the spacious roof terrace. With gorgeous views of the Old Town, the sea, the famous fishing huts and the East Hill this really is simply a delightful place to be. The space This spacious apartment comprises of 3 bedrooms, all with king size beds, one with an en-suite, and a double sofa bed in the lounge. Each bedroom has its own smart TV. There are 2 separate bathrooms as well. It sleeps 6 comfortably with the sofa bed bringing it up to 8. The large open plan lounge, kitchen, diner area is the perfect space for relaxing, with the addition of a log burner for those colder days. The large table comfortably sits 8. There is a fully equipped kitchen if you want to stay in and cook, although the Old Town has a wealth of fine eateries (the apartment is next door to one of the finest). Guest access Guests have access to the whole house, garden and roof terrace. Other things to note The Roof Terrace The proverbial cherry on top. The sun lounge with it's two sofas is a relaxing place to be rain or shine (or storm!). From this room the large bi-fold doors take you out to the roof terrace where you can chill on the ratan sofas, bathe on the sun loungers or simply stand and admire the views (sea, Winkle Island, the fishing huts, East Hill just being some of the highlights). The Garden Entrance to the apartment is through your own private garden. The access is via a very secure gate (with number keypad), then up a flight of stairs to the raised decking area with rattan seating. For those interested in a bit of history, there is plenty to be found here. It is said that the Duke of Wellington once hid in the basement of the building that once stood on this site (now the sunken area with the boat seat and picnic bench), and there are visible areas of a medieval wall of archaeological significance. Whether interested in how it came to be or not, there's no denying it's a gorgeous retreat from the hubbub of the High St, with the raised decking area getting the sun right through to mid afternoon. Oh, and you get your very own enormous pirate graffiti to admire while you're at it.
