Maria and Neil
The Old King's Head was originally a pub and hotel. It is now a board games cafe with a large 3 bedroomed maisonette above. It is a grade II listed Georgian building dating from the 18th century, however, there has always been a pub on this site dating back to Tudor times and was reputedly the oldest in the old town of Hastings. We having lovingly restored the whole building singlehandedly over the last five years from a derelict shell. The interior has been fully sound proofed and thermally insulated, there is modern gas central heating and a wood burning stove which can also heat the hot water. The interior has been finished to a high standard and some original features retained including antique floorboards and one wall in the kitchen with its original medieval timber. The front south facing bedroom on the second floor has views to the sea and the RNLI boathouse. The bedrooms are all doubles, one with an ensuite, the 3rd bedroom has the option of 2 single beds or a kingsize double zip & link. The main bathroom has a cast iron roll top bath and shower. On the 1st floor the lounge has sea views, a large kitchen diner, utility room, a large hallway with desk and cloakroom.
Neil and Maria welcome you to The Old King's Head and hope you enjoy your stay. We love the Old Town, it is truly a vibrant and special place and so much to see and do, with the added advantage of the beaches and beautiful country park. Please ask if you need any information on the local area. We are always open to ideas and feedback following your stay. For your convenience we have provided tea, coffee, salt, pepper and olive oil should you wish to use them. Please confirm prior to arrival whether you will need the single beds or king size made up in the 3rd bedroom. We respectfully request that outdoor shoes are removed inside the house and recommend that as the floors are all wood guests bring slippers for comfort. If we are unable to be here to greet you, a key will be left in the key safe box.

We also allow 2 small/medium well behaved dogs (not in bedrooms or on furniture) but please inform us when booking. NB small additional charge per dog is payable with the deposit.
