About this property
Stunning contemporary vintage seaside house on the hill above Hastings Old Town
A unique opportunity to stay in this remarkable home which is welcoming discerning guests for the first time in 2026.
The Lodge offers a wonderfully secluded destination, nestled on the hill above quirky historic Hastings Old Town. It is in close proximity to the large open space of the West Hill, with its panoramic sea views and easy access to the seafront and both sides of town.
The property is a late Georgian detached house, which has been sensitively extended to include 2,000 square feet of both modern and historical spaces. The interior has been lovingly styled to be full of variety and contemporary vintage personality.
The house includes:
- A stunning double living room packed with interesting features
- A spacious open plan dining room
- A very well equipped kitchen and utility room
- A light filled office space looking out onto the garden
- Three distinctly styled bedrooms
- Two beautifully designed bathrooms
The house is full of light with most rooms having double doors leading onto the garden. To the rear of the property there is a large south facing terrace and lawn area with mature and exotic planting. At the front of the house there is a garden with a gated driveway and plenty of room for parking.
This special place really does offer the perfect retreat for a comfortable relaxing stay within easy reach of everything Hastings has to offer and I am able to give lots of advice on getting the best out of your visit.
I've put together a useful little guide to some of my favourite places here: hastings-outsider-guide.glide.page
I am offering a 20% promotion for the first three bookings while I build my reputation on VRBO but you can see my hosting profile on my old flat listing here: airbnb.co.uk/rooms/367181
There is also a 10% discount for bookings of 7 days or more.

About the host
Hosted by Oliver Vicars-Harris
I'm originally from London and have spent my life working in the arts, with many of the UK's leading cultural destinations. I started my career in architecture and interior design, so have an enduring interest in the impact of our surroundings. I've always taken great pleasure in hosting and the opportunity to fill my home with lovely people and, although I'm new to VRBO, you can see my past profile on my old flat listing here: airbnb.co.uk/rooms/367181
Why they chose this property
I was drawn to set up home in Hastings a few years ago due to the beauty of the location and vibrancy of the community. It's an inspiring place full of creativity, which couldn't be further from the mundanity of 'middle England'. The West Hill is the perfect location, overlooking the sea and bridging the charms of the Old Town with the amenities of the New Town.
What makes this property unique
The Lodge has an interesting history and is one of a small number of early houses built on the West Hill. One of the things that makes the property so special is that the original house is a simple late Georgian villa which has been sensitively extended to create a wonderfully light and open contemporary vintage living space, with a largely horizontal layout.
