Hastings, with its pebble beach, historic pier, and the cliff-hugging East Hill Lift, offers a unique seaside escape. For travelers wanting more space than a hotel room, renting a self-catering apartment puts you in the heart of the action-steps from the shore, cafés, and the lively Old Town. Whether you're planning a family break or a quiet coastal retreat, a flat gives you the freedom to cook, unwind, and live like a local.
