This is, as the name states, an old rectory. Hence the rooms are all large and airy, all beautifully decorated in an understated way. The walled garden at the back is a delight. Seating areas are dotted around the garden in the midst of wonderful flower beds.... bluebells, tulips, etc. I could easily spend a day sitting in the garden... More

A fairly random selection as I needed somewhere in Hastings for work - what a find! Lovely rooms, real milk, home-made shortbread, great welcome and service - stuff you hope you might get in 'boutique' hotel but, these days, rarely find. Highly recommended.

We would like to thank Shaun,Tracy Ann and all the staff who worked so hard to make our daughter and son in laws wedding such a special day.Helen and Tim were delighted how you organised the occasion.We recommend this venue for small weddings. We found the B&B very comfortable and the breakfast was excellent.

Stayed for just one night last Saturday and had a great stay in the Crown room which is wonderfully comfortable and uniquely decorated. Shaun and Mary made us really welcome throughout our visit. Fabulous breakfast choice..a different class to most B&B's. Can't recommend highly enough and The Old Rectory is a short 10 minute walk to Hastings Old Town with... More

Our stay at the Old Rectory started by deciding to take a chance and arrive via an unusual route. We took the West Hill Funicular up to the nature reserve parkland on the hill above All Saints church. From there, you can take a path leading down the hill eventually bringing you out next to the top of the All... More

As there were 3 of us we booked the All Saints suite . This comprises a very spacious main bedroom, (with an almost 'empty' feel to it), a more cosy 2nd room, a large bathroom and a small wc/ wet room. The B&B is clean through out and the beds are comfortable, although the very large bed in the main... More

This B&B is just lovely. Very spacious rooms, everything beautifully decorated, very clean, superb breakfast, all perfectly hosted by Shaun. We stayed in the Ebenezer room which is situated at the front of the B&B. No problem with street noise. Thank you to the staff for a lovely stay!

Our room was delightful and very comfy, with lovely personal touches such as the most delicious homemade biscuits and unique toiletries. Loved the decor and and the food was superb. I had the french toast which was very nice indeed. It was a... More
