Climb aboard Britain's steepest funicular railway, which ascends up to the Country Park and its breathtaking views of the East Sussex and the south coast or take the second funicular railway from George Street up the West Hill, to find the remains of England’s first castle built by William the Conqueror.

Stroll along the prom, stop and play crazy golf where the world champions fight for the trophy each year, ride the ghost at the funfair or spend a penny to win a fortune at one of the amusement arcades, before continuing along to the newly rebuilt Hastings pier and St.Leonards beyond.

With the historic properties of Battle Abbey, Bodiam Castle, Charleston and Rudyard Kiplings family home of Batemans amongst many others all a short drive away, there is a wealth of things to do if you want to spend a day exploring East Sussex and its beautiful countryside.

The World famous Great Dixter House & Garden are wonderful to explore. We offer a bespoke experience for guests who wish to visit and need somewhere close by to stay.
