Can you suggest any activities or things to do while staying in the Fairlight area?
Nearby Rye is surely the most picturesque town in the UK, almost suspended in time with its cobbled streets and medieval buildings. The town of Winchelsea is also well worth a visit, along with the golden sands and dunes at Camber.
Hastings with its historical old town is full of cobbled streets, hidden alleyways and ancient houses, and probably the best crazy golf in the UK! The old town has a multitude of interesting shops, a magnet for antique seekers and art lovers or, simply those wanting a delicious afternoon tea. The tall black net drying huts are a unique feature, and fresh fish is landed daily by the local fishing fleet. Take the cliff railway to the castle or smugglers caves, for outstanding views of the beach, or, stroll along the seafront, calling in the museums and art galleries along the way.
Where can guests enjoy food and drink?
There are 3 excellent pubs serving good food within 5 minutes of the house and others within easy distance. There are tearooms on the nearby scenic Fire Hills and Tic Tockery in Pett is their favourite. The Red Pig provides delicious lunches and home-made cakes, from a quirky trailer on Winchelsea Beach. Hastings and Rye are both a ten-minute drive, with a large selection of places to eat to suit all budgets and preferences. Whether it be gourmet burgers, delicious fish and chips or top-quality restaurants serving locally sourced food, there is something for everyone.
