  • "The location is the best you could wish for."

    Right in the old town, but on a very quiet street. In a few minutes I could walk to the beautiful country park on top of East Hill, to the castle, the fisherman’s quarter and the sea. The house itself had all I needed. It also had wifi and a hairdryer which was unexpected. It is not your average holiday cottage as you can clearly see on the foto’s. So if you like neutral it is probably not for you. To me it felt a bit like staying in the house of a friend who was away for a while. It is unique and interesting, maybe not completely spotless but not really bad either and I very much enjoyed to look at all those paintings. I loved the ones of the sea by the way, both in the sitting room and in the bathroom. The bed was fine, sofa too. There is a nice hot shower above the bath, but you have to check whether the switch is on, on the other side of the wall in the bedroom. Thank you Angela, it was lovely to meet you.

  • "The property could not be in a better location; close to all local amenities."

    It was a bit like living in a second hand shop storage facility, with lots of unnecessary clutter; nice paintings though. We would not like to have attempted carrying a suitcase up the stairs, and then to find that there were no wardrobes/nowhere to hang clothes. The place would definitely benefit from a good clean.

  • "The cottage is tiny and quaint that's OK but to small for our comfort."

    The furniture is tired, an armchair week, the blue cupboard should be thrown on the fire, the fireplace had not been cleaned, the dining table had dried ketchup on it. The matchstick game is fun. The kitchen, some pots and utensils were dirty, out of date half used packets of food should be removed. Both beds were uncomfortable to the degree we both had bad backaches and were more tired when we left our holiday than when we arrived. The bathroom cupboard has personal toiletries in it the radiator in the bathroom was the only one we wanted on and it didn't work. The storage heating is too hot. We enjoyed Hastings old town and met lots of lovely people.

    Thank you for your feedback I'm very sorry you feel that way. I have had the same cleaner for years and not once have I had a complaint about cleanliness, so I am shocked but wish you would've told me at the time, so it could've been resolved. Beds are preference, again I've never had a complaint but will take it on board. It is a Grade II listed property and I also live in it when guests aren't there, so there will be toothpaste etc in the cupboard. The cottage is small yes, but more than suitable for 2 people. I'm glad you enjoyed your time in Hastings Property Owner

The property

Set at the heart of the bustling town of Hastings, East Sussex, lies this tasteful, two-bedroom holiday home, Mark the Artists House.

Featuring well-preserved, rustic interiors with exposed wooden beams, and a wealth of nifty appliances, this property's central location is perfect for families or sharing friends looking for a fuss-free, self-catered stay near the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Inside, be charmed by a variety of well-maintained living spaces, including a well-equipped kitchen where the designated chef can prepare delicious feasts to be enjoyed at the dinner table, or perhaps gathered around the warmth of a centre-stage woodburning stove in colder months.

In the evenings, be sure to indulge in a long, hot bath before retreating to one of two well-presented double bedrooms, each complete with plush bedding that waits to transport you to a state of tranquil bliss.

In warmer seasons, take your morning cup of tea out into the beautiful rear garden, which comes with its very own summer house comprising two directors chairs that allow guests to start the day off in the most relaxing fashion.

When you're ready, head into Hastings, where the attractions of Hastings Aquarium, the Hastings Miniature Railway, and The True CRIME Museum await eager tourists.

For those seeking a more peaceful day out, the scenic spots of Ecclesbourne Glen, Alexandra Park and Hastings Country Park provide great places to walk, cycle, or even enjoy a quaint picnic.

If you choose to venture into the High Weald AONB, be sure to stop by the landmark of Bodiam Castle, the National trust spots of Smallhythe Place and Scotney Castle, as well as the historic point of Bayham Old Abbey.

Enjoy all of this when you book a stay at Mark the Artists House.

About the location

HASTINGS

Battle 6 miles; Rye 12 miles.

The large historic town of Hastings offers a great mix of interesting places to visit, and is comprised of three parts, joined by the promenade. On one side is the Old Town, with narrow streets or 'twittens', attractive houses, Shipwreck and Fisherman's museums, wonderful tall black net huts, a fresh fish market, seafood restaurants and cafés. In the middle there is a contemporary shopping centre and on the other side is St Leonards on Sea with its fashionable Norman Road with antique and vintage shops, art galleries, examples of Burton's architecture (of Kew Gardens and London Zoo fame), Marine Court Art Deco flats designed in the shape of the HMS Queen Mary, and the remains of the Amsterdam, which is visible at low tide at Bulverhythe. West Hill in Hastings is home to the Smugglers Adventure and Pelham Beach, and East Hill offers the Hastings Country Park, 660 acres of ancient woodlands, grasslands and heathlands crossing five miles over cliffs and rugged terrain, plus East Hill can also be reached by taking the 'lift', the steepest funicular railway in Britain. Whilst exploring Hastings, visit The Stade and watch fishermen land their catch, plus why not take a trip to Blue Reef Aquarium and the remains of Hastings Castle? Pevensey Castle, dating from the 4th century, and the first Norman Church are twelve miles away. Further afield enjoy the NT properties of Bodiam Castle, Sissinghurst and Scotney Castle, the cinque port of Rye, the abbey at Battle or the beach and dunes at Camber Sands.
