Springbank Farm is a spacious detached coastal home sleeping up to 16 guests, set on the edge of Hastings Country Park and just a short walk from Hastings Old Town, the beach, pubs, restaurants and local amenities.
With 180 square metres of indoor space, 10 beds in 6 bedrooms, large communal living areas and an extensive garden backing directly onto the East Hill, it is an ideal base for family reunions, celebrations and gatherings of friends. The surrounding Country Park offers miles of clifftop and woodland walks, making it particularly popular with dog owners and outdoor enthusiasts.
The fully equipped kitchen has seating for up to 16 guests, allowing everyone to dine together. Facilities include a range cooker, dishwasher, microwave, fridge, full-fibre broadband and Wi-Fi throughout.
The large garden provides plenty of outdoor space for children and dogs, with direct access to the East Hill and Hastings Country Park via an adjacent country path.
Accommodation comprises:
• Ground floor: three double bedrooms, one family bedroom sleeping four, and a bathroom with walk-in shower.
• First floor: one double bedroom, one family bedroom sleeping four, and a second bathroom with shower.
It is a large family holiday home rather than a serviced hotel, and guests should expect comfortable, practical accommodation in an outstanding location. As the property is continually maintained and improved, some furniture, décor, facilities and external features may change from time to time.
Accessibility
If you are travelling with elderly relatives or guests with mobility issues, please note that there are 16 fairly steep steps from street level to the house. A handrail is provided, but the property may not be suitable for guests with significant mobility limitations.
Other things to note
----------------------
Please post a photograph on your profile and tell us the purpose of your visit. We do not approve booking requests to profiles without a photo and description. If you are new to this platform or do not have a history of positive reviews then we may ask additional questions.
You will have exclusive access to the house (you are not sharing with anyone else). No one else will be at the property.
Bedding & Consumables
-------------------------------
We provide duvets and pillows. Please bring your own bed linen and towels, or we can supply bed linen at £15 per bed and towels at £5 per person.
We usually have, but don't guarantee, small quantities of household basics (e.g. toilet paper, soap, dishwasher tablets, bin bags), but we recommend bringing your own.
CLEANING AND RUBBISH
-------------------------------
We do not charge a mandatory cleaning fee. Guests may either leave the house tidy and in the same condition as found, or book an after-stay clean for £80. If you choose not to book the cleaning option, a refundable cleaning deposit is required.
Wheelie bins are provided for rubbish and recycling. If your group generates an unusually large volume of waste, we may ask you to take any excess away with you, as bins are emptied fortnightly.
LATE CHECK-OUT / EARLY CHECK-INS
-----------------------------------------------
Check-out is a very generous 12 noon check-out, except on Friday, Saturday and Monday when it is 10am. We can also allow early check-in and late check-out as an optional extra.
PET POLICY
--------------
This is a wonderful location for well-behaved dogs, by prior agreement only. We charge a flat rate of £30 per dog (per booking), plus an additional £100 damage and cleaning deposit . Pets who arrive without prior agreement will be turned away.
Close to your arrival date you will be sent a form to confirm any options, such as linen, towels, cleaning, pets, early check-in and late check-out.
RETURNABLE FEES FOR HIGHER RISK GROUPS
---------------------------------------------------------------
To help maintain a safe and respectful environment for all guests and neighbours, a returnable risk management fee of £200–£500 may apply in some higher-risk scenarios.
This returnable fee may be requested if:
* Your group has 12 or more people
* The lead guest has no positive reviews
* The lead guest is under 25 with fewer than 3 reviews
* The lead guest lives locally and has limited VRBO history
We may also request additional ID if the lead guest appears under 30 or is local.
📌 For guests under 21: group size is limited to 12 and a UK-based guarantor aged 25+ is required.
All returnable fees are typically returned within 14 days of checkout, provided house rules are followed.
"NO PARTIES" POLICY
---------------------------
While we want to facilitate groups of family and friends to celebrate special events we operate a strict "No Party" policy.
*No non-staying visitors after 9pm or when there is outdoor music
*No more than 16 people (guests or visitors) on-site at any time
*No outside music after 11pm on Fri-Sat, and 9pm on Sun-Thu
*Do not do anything that will cause nuisance to neighbours
*Music equipment must not exceed a 30W output personal "boom bar"
