Zanzibar Hotel, Hastings, UK

• Beachfront • Fabulous breakfast • Rooms sleeping 2 • Apartment sleeping 2 adults + 2 children

This small and stylish boutique hotel by the beach in Hastings is a real find. Each of the eight rooms and suites (one self-catering) is uniquely decorated, themed on a different location and decorated with items collected from the owner's travels.

Depending on which room you select you’ll be transported to Manhattan or the Antarctic, India or Morocco. We particularly loved the huge picture windows found in all the seafacing suites, while our favourite garden facing room has a Japan theme. Best of all though, the vast New York style loft suite really has the WOW factor — 5-star self-catering at it’s best!

While there is no restaurant here, the award-winning breakfast will stop you feeling hungry for most of the day.

The seafront and restaurants of Saint Leonards-on-sea are on your doorstep — Farmyards is one of our favourites. And you’ll find plenty more great restaurants in Hastings Old Town about a 25-minute walk away. We’d also recommend a visit to Rye and Bodium Castle which are both less than half an hour away by car.
