Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Old Town Hastings?
The best area to stay in Old Town Hastings is, unsurprisingly, the Old Town itself, particularly around George Street and High Street.

You'll find many of the local shops, galleries, and restaurants in full swing, and it's a great time to enjoy a stroll along the seafront or up to the castle ruins.

Families often find late spring and summer great for a visit. The warmer weather allows for comfortable exploration of the Hastings Country Park, a ride on the East Hill Lift, and time on the beach. There are often outdoor events and activities happening during these months, adding to the entertainment.

For couples looking for a relaxed getaway, early autumn in September can also be lovely.
