Hastings Unique Homes

Rye Retreat

• 6 guests

• 2 bedrooms

Udimore, East Sussex

Sea views and a hot tub — need we say more? This dog-friendly stone cottage was once part of the late comedian Spike Milligan’s home and, while it can be rented alongside the adjoining cottage for larger groups, we think it makes an ideal self-contained retreat.

Camber Calling

• 8 guests

• 4 bedrooms

Camber, Rye

Tucked behind a private road just minutes from the dunes of Camber Sands, this relaxed family retreat is all about breezy beach days and slow evenings in the garden. Inside, you’ll find four stylish bedrooms, a sociable living area with sink-in sofas, and a bright kitchen built for big breakfasts and seafood suppers.

Green Leaves of Summer

• 4 guests

• 2 bedrooms

Herstmonceux, Hailsham

Situated on the southern edge of one of England's most picturesque landscapes, dotted with medieval manor houses, family-owned farms and ancient woodlands, this charming two-bedroom home offers a tempting rural retreat for a family or small group of friends. The ground floor houses a mix of stylish mid-century furniture and older antique pieces that sit seamlessly alongside one another in the living and dining areas.
