Summerfields House

We are staying at Summerfields House as I write. It is a lovely summer’s day and it is delightful to be in such a comfortable room with dual aspect windows and a sea view. We arrived a few days ago and were welcomed very warmly by Ian and Fiona. They are very kind people who you feel you could talk to for hours. Ian helped us to our room which has a name rather than a number, “Seaside”. We were delighted with the layout, with a king size bed, a daybed, a dressing table and a wardrobe with a fridge inside - oh, and a small smart-TV. The room looked clean and smelt fresh and the en-suite bathroom was just as good. The power shower is fantastic! Our cooked breakfast in the morning was possibly the best I’ve had - don’t get me wrong, it isn’t hard to make a full-English good, but the sausages, in particular, were so much nicer than the many other places I have stayed. The house is on a drive, away from the road and is very private with gates so there is plenty of privacy, and we had some lovely sunshine to enjoy in the magnificent garden. Today, we went through the woods, past the walled garden, into town and down to the beach. We got to the town centre very quickly. I’m not sure it was as fast as walking along the road but we stopped at the museum, two doors away, when we went that way. We did quite a lot of walking, which we aren’t used to, so with tired legs we went next door for our evening meal to the recently refurbished “Bar 85” where we had some drinks and bites. They have happy hour between 5 and 7, which is handy for us. Today is our last day here. I would very much recommend Summerfields House to anyone looking for a B&B in Hastings and hope you enjoy your stay as much as we are.
