From charismatic inns to a Michelin-rated guesthouse, this charming fishing town's accommodation is as varied as you'd expect
From charismatic inns to a Michelin-rated guesthouse, this charming fishing town's accommodation is as varied as you'd expectin the country. Those in the know, though, know differently. This coastal community has a long-held artistic tradition and more recent implants – known to locals as “Down from Londons” – have added to this reputation.
While the town, made up of the Old Town, new town and edgy St Leonards-on-Sea, may still be a little rough around the edges, it’s full to the brim with eccentric art galleries, cosy pubs, Michelin-recommended places to eat – and some of the most quirky shops and museums you’ve ever seen If you like to be in the thick of it and experience life like a local, you could do a lot worse than a stay at The Jenny Lind Inn.
Downstairs is a cosy pub with a wide selection of real ales on tap and live music – think sea shanties, folk and blues – on several days a week. Upstairs, in the inn’s rooms, it’s a world away from the noisy fun in the bars below. The five bedrooms, which offer flexible accommodation for family groups and single occupancy rates, are cosy and comfortable. All have seagull’s eye views of the higgledy piggledy Old Town below, and are just two minutes walk from the beach.
The Jenny – as locals call it – also makes the perfect base to visit two of Hastings’ most interesting museums – the Flower Makers’ Museum and the Fishermen’s Museum, both offering unique insights into parts of the town’s rich history.
