The cottage was charming and we were adequately warned about the difficult stairs which did not disappoint! The cottage is in the very interesting old part of Hasting which was ideal for us. Pet friendly was essential for us and the enclosed yard at the back was therefore a bonus.

Access is via very narrow street just wide enough for a small car - charmng but a little awkward when queued up and fumbling for keys from the keysafe. The plumbing needed TLC and we have advised the agent of the problems. Not sure the general state of repair justified the price. The council car parking instructions were gloriously ambiguous - perhaps some local knowledge could have been conveyed on what the displayed fee schedule really meant. We had thereore to err on the side of caution which was quite expensive.

The location was very central and the property atmospheric with age.

Being near everything include the rear of a fish and chip shop where the noisy extraction fan blew fumes of fat oil into the property between 9:45 am until 21:30. This made everything inside and in the courtyard smell of chip fat which is hard to forget. The property would also be unbearably hot in warm weather.

Lovely cottage, clean, classy and an amazing location. It had everything you need including a nice little outside space. Loved the aga.

TV is small but you don’t really need it as there is so much else to do.
