Shearbarn offers a wonderful retreat and is the perfect base for exploring this part of the country. Located just 15 minutes from the shingle beach which stretches the full length of the town of Hastings from the fishing port to the west side of St Leonard's.
Hastings is a blend of old and new – the new shopping centre skirted by the old town with cobbled streets home to more individual shops selling hand crafted goods and antiques.


Hastings (1.6km) not only has a fish market, but also has regular farmers markets and is host to an organic vineyard.

Hastings country park is right on your doorstep (10 metres away) – ideal for a walk through the trees and the opportunity to explore the beautiful pathways throughout this country park. A visit to the Norman Castle is not to be missed – a chance to bring to life those history lessons about 1066!
