Seafront Boutique Retreat• Sea Views•12pm Checkout

Right on the seafront in St Leonards, this cosy, stylish apartment has bold colour, mid-century touches and a relaxed, boutique feel. Seconds from the beach, Goat Ledge and independent cafés, it’s a perfect retreat for sunrise swims, coastal walks and exploring St Leonard’s and Hastings restaurants, vintage shops, galleries and music scene. Like many old seafront buildings, the shared hallway is a bit tired and awaiting improvements, but the flat itself is spotless, secure and exactly as shown.

Romantic Floating Cabin -‘The Water Snug’

Romantic lake cabin for two, floating on our peaceful one-acre lake in ancient woodland. Relax by the cosy log burner, cook in the fully fitted kitchen, and wake to magical lake views from the bedroom. In spring, enjoy the woodland with bluebells and delicate flowers; summer brings long golden evenings over the lake, and autumn paints the trees in rich, vibrant colours. Step outside to gentle ripples, watch wildlife, or visit East Hoathly village with its café, shop, and pub just minutes away.
