The style of the decor was great. It was a nice suprise to have a sea view in the morning, and the bakery treats were a great addition!A few flights of stairs up to the flat, but that wasn't a problem for us. Parking was a bit of a problem arriving late Saturday afternoon but the other days were fine.The location was perfect and we loved Hastings. We were very pleased with our choice of accommodation. ##### Maria I.
