About Guestling Hall
Guestling Hall is a home away from home! Set in beautiful grounds high up on the hill with Camber Sands in the distance, it is a tranquil place to base yourself while you visit the area. We are just a few minutes away from the 1066 walking trail, with Fairlight’s coastal walks and the beach very close by. Rye and Hastings are only 10 minutes away. If you don’t have a car, the bus stop is just opposite the Hotel. Not sure what to do for the day, we would love to help you plan your local adventure.
Be it a lazy summers evening whilst having a BBQ around the Hotel lake or returning from a winter’s day walk and sitting in front of one of our cosy log fires – we are always here to make you feel welcome, relaxed and pampered..
Our Rooms
Food & Drink
The Hall Menu – Serving a wide range of traditional British seasonal dishes all with an emphasis on locally sourced ingredients. Our breakfast is a must!
We offer a formal dining experience as well as a more casual one with our Bubbles and Bites menu that can be taken either in the orangery or in front of the fire.
We have an extensive drinks menu including a selection of 50 Gins from the African Bar or perhaps you can enjoy a glass of our own award-winning English sparkling wine and ciders.
Anyone for tea or perhaps tiffin with a twist?
Relax, kick back in front of the fire or perhaps enjoy a more formal event with our afternoon tea menu which includes a quintessentially English selection of finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream, and cakes or perhaps select our afternoon tiffin with a bit of a twist! This lovely treat can include a glass of bubbles!

The rooms are quirky and comfortable and the food was delicious. Staff were attentive, warm and welcoming. Brilliant stay ☹ Not a single thing.Stephen14/04/202410A delightful county house experience. ☺ A convenient location for us, a few miles from Hastings. Pleasant country house atmosphere. Helpful staff. The attic room we had was characterful and quirky. The afternoon tea experience is highly recommended. There's a walk around a pond and a large lawn for dogs; ours was made to feel very welcome. We'll stay again. ☹ Next time we'll try a room with a bigger bed.Turner14/04/202410Exceptional ☺ The place was great, the staff were pleasant and responded quickly to our requirements. Breakfast was included with our stay and was amazing! Honestly found no fault with our 2 night stay. 10/10 will stay back there ☹ Nothing! Honestly was one hell of an experience*****Patricia13/04/202410ExceptionalOlivier13/04/20249.0☺Accueil. Confort. ☹Une salle de bain qui était plutôt un cabinet de toilette … d’appoint.
ExcellentBased on 135 reviewsMarco Isac12/04/2024Very warm welcome from both of the managers with traditional afternoon tea in a cosy historic lounge. Room was very clean and has all what needed. Both of the managers went extra mile by prepared takeout breakfast boxes as they don’t normally do. Nice dining area. Food was very nice and exceptionally fresh. Plenty of parking spots.Micha Friede12/04/2024Rustig hotel in de buurt van Hastings. Vriendelijk personeel en comfortabele kamer, maar wel gehorig. Oordopjes zijn bij de kamer inbegrepen. Lokale cider en wijnen zijn de moeite waard.Peter Hayes19/03/2024Great place to stay if visiting Hastings or Rye. Well worth checking out. It's dog friendly too.Paul Smith01/02/2024Great place.

Breakfast is top quality. The restaurant food fabulous cooked by the great chef Fred.Staff Cragg09/11/2023We stayed in October and thought the hotel was fantastic. Natalie and family were very very helpful and welcoming in all regards. Massive projector to watch the world cup in the lounge which was great, and all round good facilities. Will definitely come back.Stuart. B.23/10/2023We have stayed here a handful of times, although this is the first time under this management. I think maybe that we were staying in a room that had been shut up and not used. Checked in fine. Dropped off bags, quick freshen up. Went off to Rye. Returned, had a glass of wine, got ready for bed. Minutes after getting into bed started coughing, wheezing. This got worse untill it became hard to breathe. Luckily I had some antihistamines in my bag. Had to take 2 to stop me coughing. We had to open the windows so I could breathe again. Spent an awful night laying fully clothed on top of the bed on a bathroom towell, (unable to get into the bed). In the morning with the sun coming through the windows we could see the huge amount of dust suspened in the air. With my girlfriend now also suffering the affects of the dust we decided to just shower and leave. I thought very hard before writing this review, I/we have stayed in a lot of hotels, some good, some not so good. This was a good hotel that has unfortunately now given me the worst hotel experience of my life. S.
