From the owner

Old Town Bolthole is the perfect romantic retreat in Hastings Old Town, East Sussex. Dating back to the 1400's it has bags of character, with exposed beams, quirky staircase and woodburner, it truly is a bolthole for that weekend getaway. A central location makes it a great base for exploring Hastings with everything on your doorstep. An easy stroll to the sea and Hastings Country Park. Planning to eat out you will be spoilt for choice, great cafes and pubs only minutes away.

You will find the cottage along a private twitten. Climb the stairs to the front door and you enter into the small but perfectly formed kitchen. You have a two ring electric hob, a combination microwave/oven, fridge with freezer compartment, toaster and kettle.

The lounge has a wood-burner for those cosy Autumn & Winter evenings, two comfy armchairs and a dining table and chairs in front of the window for meal times. From the kitchen, stairs lead up to the modern shower room and the double bedroom.

The cottage is charming and finished to a high standard with good quality bed linen, fine towels and a small welcome pack consisting of milk, tea, coffee, packet of biscuits from the local deli ' Penbuckles' and a bottle of fruit juice.

Due to its age it might not be suitable for those who are less mobile.

When staying at Old Town Bolthole it is not necessary to have a car, as everything is within easy walking of the cottage including the railway station.

    Owner's reply:
    Thank you for your review. I think if you choose to book a holiday cottage in the heart of Hastings Old Town, in the middle of a heatwave and global pandemic then there will be added noise issues that we are unable to rectify during your stay as they are outside of our control. Normally people would not be standing outside the pub that is not exactly opposite but with Covid restrictions people are outside more. Obviously during a heatwave everyone has windows open and are spending time outside in their gardens, again outside our control. As for substandard partitions, the cottage was built in the 1400's obviously not the same building regs as today but has passed its safety checks in order to holiday let. We haven't had anyone else complain about noise issues inside or out & height restrictions are clearly stated on all websites that we market the cottage on. It would appear that you chose the wrong property for your stay, maybe something away from everyone in the middle of nowhere would have been more suitable.
