Imagine waking up to soft light spilling across a serene coastal landscape rather than the ceaseless bustle of the city. At Rocklands Self-Catering Apartments, that dream becomes your every morning. Tucked away above Hastings, our adult-only, smoke-free and pet-free retreat offers a rare blend of tranquillity, comfort, and style—ideal for guests seeking a genuine escape from everyday life.

Each of our six luxury apartments has been designed with both elegance and practicality in mind. We have four generously sized two-bedroom apartments—each with a master double with en-suite and a twin room with a separate bathroom—and two one-bedroom apartments tailored for couples.

Then there’s the spectacular Penthouse, featuring a sweeping open-plan living area, two double bedrooms with en-suites, and a balcony where you can unwind with views that truly take your breath away. Every ground-floor apartment includes a patio space with seating, while first-floor units enjoy balconies accessible directly from the car park for ease and convenience.

We believe that comfort matters

All rooms are double-glazed, fully insulated, and equipped with underfloor heating for cosy winter stays. We also provide free Wi-Fi, allowing you to stay connected or stream quietly after a day of exploring. For practical ease, we include private parking adjacent to your apartment, so you can arrive without carrying luggage over long walks.

Your self-catering experience is made effortless with a fully equipped kitchen, ready for cooking everything from local fish feasts to leisurely breakfasts. The interiors are thoughtfully furnished with high-quality finishes, ensuring your stay feels as indulgent as it is relaxed.

Many Advantages

One of the greatest advantages of Rocklands is our location: nestled beside Hastings Country Park, you’re within the embrace of 600 acres of cliffs, woodlands, and coastal paths. The park lies along an unspoiled coastline that’s part of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making it perfect for gentle walks, wildlife spotting, or just breathing deeply in pure air.

Even so, Hastings’ rich history, charming Old Town, and lively seafront are just a 5-minute drive or 15-minute walk away. You can wander among historic houses, boutique shops, the Fishermen’s Museum, the busy Stade fishing beach, and even hop aboard the miniature railway—all within easy reach.

Welcome Retreat

Returning to your apartment offers a welcome retreat. Unwind on your balcony or patio with a glass of wine, enjoying sweeping views over sea and countryside. The silence here is profoundly restorative—no party noise, no late-night disturbances, just the gentle murmur of nature.

Whether you’re seeking a restful weekend off-grid or a longer stay to immerse yourself in East Sussex life, we believe Rocklands is more than a place to stay—it’s a hyphen between your everyday and your ideal. Book early to choose your preferred apartment, and give yourself the chance to truly get away from it all.
