The Captains Cottage (Old Town)

Old world charm and character

Bed linen and towels were clean but duvet and pillows were a little tired, would benefit from a wash/replaced

Close to old town great building

Nothing perfect

Excellent location. Property was charming. Host was very helpful.

Despite the charm it was in need of a deep clean and a spruce up.

the location,the old world feel of it,

There is a big problem with the shower the water leaks down onto the living room floor,quite badly,and needs attention immediately. no shower curtain,and nowhere to put the shower head,whilst showering.

Lovely characterful cottage in excellent position.

gorgeous littleproprrty exactly;y what I needed with 3 young boys close to the beach and amenities

Kept banging my head on the ceiling lights- because I'm 6 foot 5 inches tall!-very low ceilings as very old property

Loved it. Yeah okay, it's really old - the rooms are wonky, the whole pace is absolutely tiny, and it might get a bit damp if you don't use the dehumidifier - but I don't think I've ever stayed anywhere so utterly adorable. So full of real history and character, right in the middle of one of the most charming old town centres in the country, but at the end of a street with no traffic, this place makes us feel like we're actually in olde worlde Hastings, and you can't put a price on that. It helps that the cleaning and equipping is meticulous, and the beds are fantastic.

You don't have to be tall, as I am, to risk braining yourself several times a day on the iron lampshades in every room! Some less heavy fittings might be wise... And a shower curtain would be handy. Everything else was great.

Great location, clean comfy beds, quirky characterful property.

Very dusty even accounting for age of property, sofa stained and smelt a bit damp. Wicker chairs in the front room are uncomfortable for relaxing as a family group and need replacing. Lack of proper showering facilities' although there was plenty of hot water for baths The front gate is difficult to open and needs attention Place generally needs a good deep clean and a bit of a spruce up.
