The hotel staff was very friendly and accommodating. It was a very relaxing, quiet stay after days of hectic sightseeing the coast. The beds were so wonderful! The breakfast was fresh with many options made to order. We had a lovely stay.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Laindon’s. The breakfast was amazing. the place is full of funky art and has a delightful atmosphere. As a super smeller I particualrly appreciated the scent of roses in the entryway! The staff are super kind and helpful. they provide beach towels and shoes as well. the location is also great as you can get to the beach/shops in 5 minutes or less. Definitely recommend.
Very friendly staff. Lovely breakfast of bacon and avocado on toast. Perfect stay

Never have we been better looked after than we were at the Laindons,
From start to finish we were comtable warm and well fed.
The room and food were outstanding as was Karen and family
We cant wait to return to hastings and enjoy another relaxing weekend away
Perfect base for exploring Hastings and the surrounding area, lovely property run by superb hosts in Malcolm and Karen, and a fantastic breakfast awaits to kick start the day.
Great property well located with lovely breakfast. Room had every amenity you could want. Host recommended a great pub nearby where we had a lovely dinner. Would stay here again if back in Hastings
Thank you to our lovely hosts for a memorable stay. I highly recommend this superior B&B. I loved the location in Old Town, the tasteful decorations, our beautiful room and comfy bed, the quiet lounge with interesting books and art (and delicious home made chocolate cake), the sunny breakfast room and yummy breakfast.
The property was short walk to quirky old town.malcolm and karen are excellent hosts they could not do enough for you and the breakfast was amazing highly recomend
Love this place, gorgeous rooms, all with incredibly comfortable beds, luxurious bed linen and toiletries. Breakfast is outstanding. This place is an absolute gem in a perfect location. Honestly I cannot rate it highly enough.
The Laindons B&B offers an amazing experience. The room was very spacious and comfortable and our hosts had thought of everything a guest could possibly need and more. The included breakfast was wonderful home cooking and the owners are incredible, being engaging and extremely considerate. I will absolutely return to Hastings and when I do will only consider staying at the Laindons. I cannot imagine finding better.
Absolutely wonderful stay with a warm and friendly host and hostess. Wonderful consideration given to the details and amenities. Great choices for breakfast. I have already recommended to friends and family. Beautifully rounded off by it being a wonderful building. Five star service and amentities.
Had a wonderful two night stay. Malcolm and Karen couldn’t have been more hospitable and friendly. The whole b&b was spotless and they’d truly thought of everything you could want from a stay away from home. The breakfast was delicious, as was the chocolate cake and biscuits that they’d made for us! The location is also perfect. Couldn’t recommend more and my mum and I will be back!
The hosts - Karen & Malcolm were so hospitable & helpful.
The Laindons Guest House is situated in an excellent location in Old Town, Hastings. The Red room was very comfortable, top quality bed linen and the facilities throughout the property are sublime with every attention to detail made. The selection & quality of the produce at breakfast was outstanding - locally sourced & we would thoroughly recommend the home mage Granola with berry compote - exceptional. Nothing is too much trouble for Malcolm who oversees the breakfast service. Would definitely recommend this establishment & we wouldn’t look to stay anywhere else in Old Town, Hastings when we return in future.
Room was quite spacious and the bathroom was very clean. Good breakfast options. A minor thing. There was no latch for the door and the door has to be locked using the keys from inside. This could mean someone could pop into our room if it was not locked from inside. It would have been if there wa a blackout curtain to keep the room completely dark at night during summer months.
First class guest house. The hosts, Karen & Malcolm, and their staff member were terrifically hospitable and convivial. My double room - designated G was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Every need seemed to have been catered for, including mini-bar / fridge / snacks etc. Tea / coffee etc. Dressing gowns if required and luxurious toiletries. The breakfast room had super views and I thought the freshly prepared breakfast itself was incredibly delicious and filling and deserving of the highest praise possible.
The guest house provided free parking permits for between 4.00pm and 11.00am. Outside of those times you need to deal with payment yourself and the local council run car park - which is just 2 minutes walk away charges £8.70 for the 5 hours between 11.00am and 4.00pm if required.
I had a really enjoyable 2 night stay and would highly recommend this guest house.
I'm not usually a B&B person but it had such amazing reviews we gave it a try and it lived up to every 5 star review. It is absolutely gorgeous, the room was spacious and had the most fabulous bathtub. The breakfast is wonderful and Karen is so kind and accommodating. I highly recommend The Laindons.
A very lovely B&B with great location, beautiful room, wonderful hosting from Karen and team and best breakfast I've had in years. Over three days, the breakfast was perfect. The bed too is probably the most comfortable bed i can remember ever
The Host gives great, heartfelt advice which is super helpful.
