Hastings is perhaps best known for serving as the site of the infamous Battle of Hastings in 1066, although history shows that the actual battleground of the Norman Conquests was a few miles away. It is also known for the Shipwreck Museum, which tells the tales of those whose lives were lost at sea. Another quirky museum worth visiting in the area is the True Crime Museum, the home of the largest collection of crime memorabilia in the UK. The majestic landscapes of Hastings are also worth experiencing, so if you’re the adventurous kind, there couldn’t be more appropriate venues than the glamping spots. These are only some of the sites and attractions awaiting visitors to Hastings. If you’re thinking of visiting this town but don’t know where to stay yet, do check out this list of the top Airbnb vacation rentals in Hastings, Great Britain.

1. The Annexe (from USD 90)
The name of this charming property, The Annexe, is an obvious hint that your hosts just live next door. However, privacy is rarely compromised during your stay as the unit is self-contained and includes a separate entrance. Its interior has been renovated to a high standard and caters to modern travelers’ viewing and browsing needs. With an equipped kitchen, preparing your delectable recipes is never difficult.
For open-air pursuits, you have a little private nook perfect for sipping your fresh brew or a savory glass of wine. The location is equally superb as Alexandria park will be your view when staying in.

One of the four oversized units in the building, this ground-floor retreat’s crowning feature is its spacious lounge, where guests can cozily huddle around for movie nights. The eat-in kitchen is also a beautiful space to bond over good food.
