Located in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, within the grounds of a 50-acre estate, this detached oast house overlooks fields and paddocks from its southwest-facing terrace and lawned garden. You may spot the local wildlife, including deer, foxes, and barn owls. If you have children with you, though, a fenced-off pond is nearby, so they'll need to be supervised. Inside, there's a log burner for cosy nights in and a charming circular main bedroom. It would be tempting to spend all your time here, wouldn't it? But that would be a shame as Bewl Water is a ten-minute stroll away, pretty Tunbridge Wells is a twenty-minute drive, and Camber Sands is a forty-minute ride.

The Old Oast House

For couples and solo travellers eager to explore the south east coast, this tasteful modern apartment provides a comfortable place to base up. Situated in Rye, a charming East Sussex town with a medieval centre, this home takes great care with its sunlit living room and dining area, cosy double bedroom, and pleasantly well stocked kitchen. In terms of nearby sights, you'll only be ten minutes from Camber Sands, one of England's finest beaches. Budding historians are sure to appreciate Hastings, half an hour away by car, while art enthusiasts may enjoy a trip to Dungeness, home of the late Derek Jarman's beautiful Prospect Cottage.

Rye Delight

This Hastings home is a vibrant Victorian escape with sweeping sea views and bags of personality. Painted a cheerful blush pink, the house is full of original features and colourful interiors that make it feel playful yet refined. After a day exploring the old town or wandering the pier, come back to long soaks in the freestanding bath, lazy evenings by the woodburner, or alfresco suppers in the walled garden. Families and friends will love the space to spread out, and you’re even able to bring your furry friends along too!

Hastings Haven

This is no ordinary holiday home – it’s a family playground disguised as a seaside retreat. From the bubbling hot tub to the soundproof games room and poker-ready bar, every corner is packed with things to do (and ways to unwind). There’s plenty of space to spread out, including a sunny garden deck, smart TVs in every room, and flexible sleeping options across two floors. You’re tucked away in a quiet part of town, but still within walking distance of Hastings’ best beaches, parks and restaurants.

Hastings Hideaway

This delightful coastal home is nestled in Norman’s Bay, between the historic towns of Bexhill and Pevensey. From here, you can effortlessly visit Eastbourne, Camber Sands, and Rye – when you can tear yourselves away from the beach on your doorstep, that is. The house was once a charming cafe and boutique hotel, restored into a beautiful beachfront home ideal for two families travelling together. Enjoy sweeping sea views, lounge on the furnished front terrace, and gather around the fire pit in the garden. You'll fall in love with this home. 

Norman's Bay

Just a few steps from the beach huts and peaceful shoreline of Norman’s Bay, this 18th-century fisherman’s cottage is postcard-perfect. Inside, you’ll find plenty of character and a log-burning fireplace for cosy nights in. But as with any heritage home, it comes with a few quirks. Taller guests may need to duck under low beams, and the shared garden might not appeal to everyone. That said, the unbeatable location more than makes up for it. Spend your days exploring Bexhill-on-Sea, Brighton, and Eastbourne – all within easy reach. Or stay local – a shop and a pub are a short walk away, and at low tide, the sandy shores are perfect for long coastal walks.

Fishing for Stars

Hidden away in the gardens of a 16th-century manor house, this home in East Sussex was once a stone farm building, but today, you'll find a rather lovely rural escape.

Despite the property's long history, the interior is contemporary in style, with smart Karndean flooring, soothing white walls and furnishings that come from the Scandi school of style. Aside from during the depths of winter, fresh flowers sourced from the flourishing south-facing garden, which can be spotted out of the living room windows, are thoughtfully arranged about the house by the host. 

Head out the back door and you can admire the magnolia tree and plant beds for yourself, or simply sit out on the patio with the barbecue smoking away in the background. From this vantage point, It's possible to see Newick's 11th-century sandstone church — the clock of which is silent, you might be happy to learn.

Elsewhere in the village, there's a cricket pitch, a children's playground, and a woodland walk that comes alive with bluebells in the spring. In the morning, why not check out the local bakery and grab some fresh croissants for breakfast? For lunch, stop by the cafe, and for dinner, choose from three oak-beamed pubs featuring roaring fires and tasty meals, all within easy walking distance.

Although the locale feels like the quintessential English countryside, the city of Brighton only takes thirty-five minutes to reach in the car whenever you have a hankering for a day at the seaside.

Village Life

Step straight onto the shore from this three-storey beachfront beauty in laidback Pevensey Bay. With bi-fold doors that frame the sea and sunshine streaming into the open-plan lounge and kitchen, it’s the kind of home where beach days roll effortlessly into breezy evenings. Each of the three double bedrooms comes with its own en-suite, and the main suite enjoys its own private balcony. Whether you're hopping between seaside villages, exploring Eastbourne and Beachy Head, or simply staying in with a sea view, this is a beach stay done brilliantly.

Driftwood Waves

This striking black townhouse in the seaside town of Hastings holds a few secrets inside. First of all, the eclectic living room, set around a big bay window with ingenious half-fold wooden shutters that allow in natural light while keeping a bit of privacy. The wood-burning stove is a cosy bonus for cold nights and the walls are adorned with vibrant modern art. Then there’s the private patio garden with its summer house set up as a creative studio. The outdoors is illuminated with stringed lights at night where a sunken, hand-crafted picnic table and chairs await. Finally, our favourite spot has to be the Japanese onsen style bathroom, with its cascading waterfall sink and a bubble Jacuzzi tub designed specifically for the space. The bathroom is a testament to the rest of the house, where bannisters feel hand-crafted from reclaimed wood and book-filled shelves in the bedrooms are bespoke. Venturing out into Hastings, you’ll find the long sweep of sandy beach is just a fifteen-minute stroll away, and the heart of town, brimming with shops, restaurants and cafés is ten minutes on foot.

Sea Jet

If you like the idea of a romantic weekend that includes long walks on the beach and such like, this apartment in Saint Leonards-on-sea will be just the ticket.

Being up on the third floor, there are marvellous views of the beach from both the living room and kitchen. Inside, the styling feels cool and contemporary, thanks in no small part to the exposed brickwork, array of house plants and the vintage map on the wall.

As well as the seaside barely two minutes' walk from the front door, the local area is full of quirky attractions, including bars, boutiques and seafood restaurants. Hastings Castle can be reached in just under twenty-five minutes' walk and the High Weald AONB is a quarter of an hour away in the car, too.





Warrior Spirit

With a privileged address in the heart of medieval Rye, this home is the perfect base for an East Sussex break. You’ll have a light-filled courtyard for warm weather drinks and a garden for leisurely gatherings. Inside, the rooms are perfect for families with plenty of space to relax, socialise, cook or catch up on work. Parking is available here and it’s just a short walk to local restaurants, galleries, shops and Camber Sands. It’s also a great base for exploring Hastings, Battle and Dungeness. 


For A Moment 

Tucked away in the historic heart of Rye, this stylish apartment makes a sleek base for coastal escapes. Perched on the second floor, it’s a light-filled retreat with a warm, welcoming vibe. The open-plan living space invites slow mornings and evenings with a glass of wine, while the compact kitchen is well-equipped. After a day spent wandering cobbled lanes or exploring nearby Camber Sands, return for a hot soak. With pubs, galleries, and restaurants just steps away, this spot puts you within easy reach of Rye’s charm and the coast beyond.
