Anne’s House

We had a great stay with Michael & Olivia at Anne’s house. The home is beautiful, well appointed and the hosts were great. We came here straight from an overseas flight and it was the perfect place to start our England trip, with a bed so comfortable neither of us had much jet lag. We started our day with a delicious breakfast cooked to order, and Olivia & Michael provided great recommendations for town activities, transport and dinner (loved the Farm Yard at their reco!). We will recommend Hastings and Anne’s House to anyone traveling to the UK. Thanks for the great visit!

We spent a wonderful weekend at this lovely B&B. Hosts Michael and Olivia welcome you into their beautiful period home, conveniently located within walking distance of the seafront and the charming lanes of Hastings Old Town. The house is spacious and very tastefully decorated with artwork, antiques and objet d'art throughout. With just two bedrooms you are made to feel like special guests in their beautiful home. Michael and Olivia are utterly charming and make a real effort to make you feel completely at ease. There is a lovely, light, dining room where breakfast is served, and a beautifully furnished sitting room for guests to relax and unwind. Breakfast is a delight - a wide choice of qualtiy ingredients from a light continental breakfast to a multi-course breakfast feast to set you up for the day. Everything is beautifuly prepared and presented. We stayed in the "Turret Room" which has an ensuite bathroom with bath and separate walk-in shower. Fine quality complimentary toiletries complete the picture. A very comfortable bed made for a very restful night. Special touches include home-baked biscuits in a cookie jar for morning tea, and cake served with afternoon tea. We would have no hesitation in recommending this rather special place to stay in a much-underated south coast destination.

We really enjoyed our stay at Anne's house, a very high quality establishment. Olivia and Michael are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was all fresh from the fruit through the croissants to the cooked breakfast, a really delicious start to the day. The decor was in character with the house and gave a friendly cosy feel. We really appreciated the extra little touches like fresh milk, bath robes and home baked cookies in the room. The road is quiet and Olivia and Michael provide visitor's parking permits. We have already recommended Anne's house to friends and will be staying at Anne's House next time we are in the area.

With no doubt our best experience within the UK. Olivia and Michael were very welcoming. The house was very clean and very well decorated. The bedroom was warm and cosy. The bed and the pillows were so confortable! We slept like babies! The quality of the towels and the bedding was as good as a 5 stars hotel. I was very impressed to find out that there were bathrobes. A lot of details to make your visit very pleasant. We arrived at 4:00 and they offered us tea and cake...and I have to say...the cake was delicious!! They were very helpful giving us recommendations of places to visit and a list of restaurants where to eat. They have printed maps of Hastings to ease your visit. Olivia was very kind and made a booking in a restaurant for us. In the morning we were surprised with a wonderful breakfast. Everything so fresh and very well coked and presented. Fresh pressed orange juice, fruits, cereal, fresh and warm croissants..so delicious and after that different options of hot food. Believe me...I can be a bit fussy with the food but in both breakfasts everything was perfect! Thank you Olivia and Michael for your dedication, kindness, attention and for making us feel at home.

Absolutely delightful accommodation! Owners went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable, nothing was too much trouble. Plenty of additional touches to make you feel at home. Will definitely be going back, thank you

I endorse the many nice preceding reviews. My wife and I stayed 4 nights in the extremely hot week at the beginning of September. Linton Road is indeed quiet and one can sleep at night with the windows open. Parking is in the street and was no problem. Our hosts supply visitors' parking permits without charge. One of those and the 2-hours free parking covers the entire daytime. One lovely touch is that one can sit in the shade in the back garden. We resorted to that in the late afternoon and were greeted with tea and a slice of home-made cake. Ours was the Rose room which has a smaller bathroom than that in the Turret room, but the shower and its compartment were wonderful. Michael & Olivia Shaw go to a great deal trouble for their guests and it shows.

Olivia and Michael were the perfect hosts. A beautiful, period home filled with lots of love. From the moment we arrived we were given a very warm welcome followed by tea and delicious home made cake. There are so many little extra details Olivia and Michael have thought about to cater for all. The pillows were amazing and breakfast so tasty, plentiful and such a vast choice. We loved the fact so many items from shower gels, food, preserves etc were all locally sourced. We would definitely stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Anne's House. The hosts were kind and welcoming, the rooms were beautifully decorated and the breakfast was simply delicious - we'd certainly stay here again if we're back in the area.

This bed and breakfast is just superb. Olivia and Michael are very friendly. Nothing was too much problem. They even helped us source some of their lovely breakfast coffee The accommodation is wonderful everything is of a high quality and luxurious. There is everything you could want in the rooms, lovely fluffy towels and towelling robes. A big choice of teas and coffee in the rooms and fresh water and milk provided when needed. There is a good choice for breakfast and it is clearly made with quality products from freshly squeezed orange juice, fresh fruit salad and a lovely full English. The property is situated on a quiet road near to all the amenities with ample on street parking available. If we are in the area we would certainly stop there
