“Guestling House struck me as genuinely dog-friendly, a rare find, and the proximity to Hastings, easily reached by bus, balances rural peace with coastal access. I appreciate the thoughtfulness of details like breakfast baskets delivered to the room and homemade cake in the lounge; it's that kind of consideration that elevates a stay. The spacious rooms and countryside views certainly create a relaxing atmosphere.”

a pleasant retreat near hastings

friendly hostconvenient locationdirty mat

the host was cute, and the grounds were pretty (i enjoyed watching the chickens and ducks). the complimentary breakfast basket was a treat. i also liked that the location was convenient for exploring the area.

the shower room was small, and it lacked heating. the mat on the floor didn't look very clean, a slight letdown. i think a small upgrade would improve things.

noisy roomdirty floor

I was pretty annoyed about the lack of soundproofing. I could clearly hear every conversation and movement from the room above (I swear I even heard snoring!). The shower room felt cramped and lacked heating. It was not a pleasant experience, especially in the morning. I noticed the mat and floor needed a good cleaning (or replacement).
