This fabulous Grade ll listed cottage sits in a prime position right in the heart of Hastings Old Town. Oozing character both inside and out, this beautiful cottage is one of just a few that has the Hastings Country Park to one side and steps and twittens leading to fishing huts and welcoming pubs serving excellent meals on the other. Access to this lovely cottage is down stone steps, and is well worth the descent. Open the door and you will fall in love with The Fisherman's Rest as soon as you step inside. Warm and welcoming the cosy sitting room has a woodburner and ample comfy seating for everyone to enjoy time together, whatever time of year you holiday on this part of the Sussex coast. The kitchen is the heart of the home, and here you can prepare fish caught daily and sold from huts on the beach, just a few minutes’ walk from the cottage door. Gather around the table and enjoy scrumptious meals accompanied with a bottle or two of wine from one of the three wineries that this part of the county can boast of. On a summer evening why not dine alfresco in the courtyard garden, lit by soft lighting to enhance the air of romance? After a day exploring this historic and amazing part of Sussex you can climb the stairs and settle down for a well-earned sleep in one of the two charming bedrooms, after a long hot shower. The quaint, quirky cottage is perfect for a romantic weekend with somebody special in your life, but also has so much to offer a family looking for somewhere central where they can have a traditional, seaside holiday with funfairs and crazy golf just moments away. Alternatively, perhaps you are someone who's idea of the perfect holiday is eating out in a different restaurant every night of the week, with so many varied cuisines to sample you may have to stay for longer! Ideally placed, comfortably furnished, with stunning views, this is a holiday home that comes top of the list.
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.

Reviews
We loved the cottage, so lovely and quirky yet super well equipped and cosy. Great location also. We didn't meet our hosts, but they couldn't have been more helpful and kind. We'd stay again in a heartbeat.
We loved this cottage and enjoyed the tastefully furnished rooms and the welcoming atmosphere. The stairs are very narrow and steep, so not for the disabled. The bedroom at the top has the most beautiful views, while the other two bay windows also overlook the Old Town and the West Hill, perfect for watching the sunrise cast its pink glow ove the lansdscape, houses and church. The location is an ideal starting point for walks around the Old Town, the fishing beach and the country park. All appliances in the cottage are in perfect working order, the bathroom both modern and traditional, and all bedlinen and towels were ready supplied, along with a welcoming food basket. Parking available in a public car park in the Bourne, easily reached by footpath and steps. The teenagers enjoyed having access to wifi, and sitting outside in the pretty little patio with a mug of tea was delightful. It's a dream of a place to be staying at! Best I have ever had.
