Church Retreat

Church Retreat is an Upper Ground Floor apartment resting in St. Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex, and is a multiple-award-winning Victorian apartment within the Beach Haus boutique collection, mixing restored period architecture with modern comfort and thoughtful design. With beautiful local artwork, light and airy rooms, and pops of eye-catching colours throughout, this property welcomes guests to unpack into a truly unique space, thoughtfully laid out for your convenience. Tall windows fill the living areas with soft natural light, highlighting the restored period details as you step inside the open-plan living space, where underfloor heating and an indoor fireplace bring warmth throughout the cooler months. Evenings invite you to settle into the sofa and enjoy a film on the 55-inch 4K Smart TV, enhanced by the sound bar and Bluetooth sound system. The kitchen is a standout feature, fitted with striking emerald‑green tiles that add vibrancy to the space. Here, you’ll find everything needed for preparing hearty meals, and a French press for relaxed morning brews. Two dedicated desk areas make remote work straightforward. The apartment sleeps six guests across two bedrooms and a sofa bed in the living area, with the master offering generous proportions and the second bedroom providing an equally thoughtful setting for rest. Extra pillows, blankets, storage, and bed linens help guests settle in from the moment they arrive. A bathroom with a bathtub and overhead shower provides a contemporary space to refresh after a day spent among the waves.

Set within a vibrant pocket of the coastal town of St Leonards-on-Sea, the apartment places you within walking distance of the beach, the promenade, Warriors Square, and the train station. St Leonards blends Regency architecture with independent shops, galleries, and cafés, while neighbouring Hastings offers the Old Town, the ruins of Hastings Castle, an aquarium, museums, and a lively arts quarter. Further afield, guests can visit Rye with its cobbled lanes, or Battle with its famous abbey and battlefield. Sissinghurst Castle Gardens lie within reach for those exploring more of the wider Sussex landscape.
