Perhaps a little pricier than I would like, but certainly not unreasonable.

The Black Rock House was exactly what I needed after a long journey from New Zealand. Clean, tidy, well-equipped, spacious, and not to mention the host, Vincent, was incredibly helpful and accommodating (and cooks a great breakfast). The house isn't in the centre of Hastings, but it's a reasonable and straightforward walk into the town.

Nothing

The place is exquisite and very individual. Much attention given to your comfort with lovely extras supplied. The room was decorated and furnished to a high standard with comfortable bed. Vincent was a great host very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable The breakfast was delicious and the dining experience was very relaxing It was also in a nice, quiet road with plenty of parking available at the time of our stay The house is walking distance to the beach and restaurants Would definitely stay again if I’m in the area

There was nothing we disliked

Vincent was the "host with the most" Very welcoming, hospitalable and helpful

Nothing at all!

Wow! What can I say? A luxurious and quirky B&B replete with beautiful antiques, paintings and comfy, comfy rooms. Vincent is a consummate host, who served us such excellent breakfasts in their elegant dining room that we did not once consider having breakfast out. Armed with plenty of recommendations from Vincent, we wrenched ourselves away from the tranquil B&B and really enjoyed ourselves at St Leonard’s and the Old Town. Black Rock House is equidistant to them both. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else the next time I come to Hastings.

Can't think of anything.... maybe the walk up from town might be a bit demanding, but a cab is only £5.

Vincent welcomed us to his and Julian's charrming and very quirky victorian house with a large G+T. The room was comfortable, with a large double, plenty of storage and a big bathroom. The house is interestingly packed with books and ephemera. Vincent cooks a legendary breakfast, where Clovis the St Bernard joined us. Altogether a great experience, highly recommended.

Nothing- I wish I'd booked earlier and perhaps paid slightly less, but it was still worth the price.

I couldn't have asked for a better welcome- the house is beautiful, my room was spotless and very comfortable with a great view, and a strong gin and tonic started my holiday off well. Even my fellow guests were a delight. The location is also ideal- slightly further back from the seafront, so very peaceful, but still with a decent sea view and everything in easy walking distance. The breakfast was well worth the ecstatic reviews- just don't fill up on bread before you've tried Vincent's scrambled eggs.

I have now stayed in 3 different rooms, all good size and comfortable and all have good showers. Vincent always makes you feel very welcome and the breakfast is brilliant.

This has to be one of the best B&B's we've stayed in. Everything about it was excellent from the amazing decor to the extremely comfortable beds and amazing breakfasts (the scrambled eggs were truly the best we've tasted) all laid out on a huge dining table with every kind of jams, marmalades, curds you can think off. The hosts Vincent and Julian were lovely and very friendly who welcomed us on arrival with a drink of choice and nibbles, such a lovely touch which we haven't experienced elsewhere and we were joined by the resident St Bernard called Clovis who duly elbowed my husband out of the sofa to sit next to me 😂 We highly recommend this B&B.

The room was big and clean. We had everything we needed and the house is located only a 15 minute walk away from the beach and town centre. Vincent is incredibly friendly and helpful, sharing very good tips about the town and places to see. He also prepares a great breakfast. We would recommend staying at the Black Rock House to anyone, especially if you like a little personal touch to your stay away from home.

Had an amazing week end staying at the Black Rock House. The house is beautiful, the room was big and comfortable. It is very conveniently located from a walking distance to the old town, train station and the beach. Vincent and Julian were so welcoming and had so many tips on where to go and what to visit in Hastings. I cannot recommend enough!

Stayed in March 2024

Didn't realise I had a room with no window view

Breakfast was excellent and a lot of attention to detail. Our host was so friendly and couldn't do enough for us.

Nothing to fault.

We loved our stay at Black Rock House. The place was full of character and wonderful decor. Vincent was a personable, hospitable and very entertaining host. We felt very welcomed and looked after - spending time chatting to Vincent was an unexpected but wonderful highlight of our trip. The breakfast was fantastic, delicious, as was the glass of wine that Vincent gave us before we headed out for the evening. Bed was super comfy. Shower was great. We couldn’t fault the place or the host. We’ll be back 🙂

Lovely Victorian house, beautifully and comfortably furnished in keeping with the period, with shared dining room and living room for guests to eat, drink and chat together. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable with lovely touches like a mini fridge, ground coffee, biscuits and quality hand soap and shower gel. Just a 10 minute walk from the Old Town with lots to do and see. Parking on the street was easy.

Wonderful stay in Black Rock House. Vincent and Clovis (their beautiful St Bernard) are excellent hosts; helping us find a place for a meal, giving us a lift there, providing an excellent breakfast and we thoroughly enjoyed chatting with Vincent. Top quality rooms too. A really delightful place to stay.

Black Rock an fantastic place to stay-near everything in Hastings yet in a quiet and peaceful road. The house is fabulous and decorated with style-it feels like a home with a designer’s touch. Rooms have all the amenities you would expect and are very comfortable.
