This coastal hotel really has got a (very) old castle at the heart of it - and they’ve even got a ghost (you can visit her room at the top of the castle).


The whole thing is quite unlike any of the other Hastings hotels and, although recent investment has updated the premises dramatically, the hotel still has character; some of the older rooms are literally shaped by the castle itself, and are quite romantic.


Cosy chintzy wing chairs and open fires make welcoming lounge areas to relax in - and the beach is just a stone’s throw away, across the road.
