About Guestling House
Guestling House provides a warm welcome and a cosy B&B stay in this Victorian style building. This rustic country home sits in 20 beautiful acres of rolling farmland, nestled in the East Sussex countryside, conveniently placed between the historic towns of Hastings and Rye.
There is ample parking at the Farmhouse and the A259 is on the doorstep, so local sites of interest can easily be reached by car, bus and bike, with plenty of local walking routes to suit ramblers and those seeking fresh, country air. There are ancient woodlands to explore and a newly planted Estate vineyard, producing English wines. Locally made wine and cider can be purchased to enjoy al fresco or inside by the log fire.
Our Rooms
Guestling House provides 7 rustic bedrooms, some ensuite but all with their own bathroom, so groups and families are all welcome. Natural wooden floors and large windows ensure maximum light and views.
Food & Drink
A simple continental breakfast can be delivered to rooms each morning and the informal, country style kitchen can provide hot, home-cooked soups for hungry travellers and those returning from long country walks.
Vineyard & Kitchen Garden
Guestling Farmhouse has its own kitchen garden where fresh herbs and vegetables will be used in home cooked dishes to sample. Guests are welcome to pick their own when in season.

Wir waren hier nur für eine Nacht, aber das war schon echt toll: Traumhaftes Ambiente, schöne Zimmer, Frühstück, das vor die Tür gestellt wird, sodass man Essen kann wann man will. Draußen bei gutem Wetter stehen Grill und Pizzaofen bereit und auf dem anliegenden Weinberg kann man durchaus mit dem ein oder anderen Gläschen Wein den Abend genießen.Posted on Google![]()

Un hôtel familial avec beaucoup de charme qui accepte les animaux (nous avons 2 chiens). Le personnel est très accueillant et très gentil. La chambre est très spacieuse et le petit déjeuner est servi dans un panier pique-nique déposé derrière la porte le matin. Le cadre est calme et joli, c'était parfait pour une nuit reposante avant de reprendre la route.Posted on Google![]()

What's not to love about this place?! Greeted by the chickens and what a lovely building they have. The rooms are spacious and very clean. We were greeted by Shannon who is so friendly. Breakfast as mentioned in other reviews is a breakfast basket with pastries, fruit, fresh coffee for the French press and fresh orange juice and milk. And to top it off there were delicious jambons in there too! Genuinely some of the best value we've found during our travels. We woo uld happily come back again, if we ever find ourselves passing through. Oh and they're dog friendly too! 🐕🦺 Thank you for a wonderful stay.Posted on Google![]()

Charming old-country hotel with a lot of character and a cozy, almost manor-house atmosphere. The lounges and common areas are especially memorable — antique furniture, fireplaces, rugs, chess tables, vintage décor, and large windows overlooking greenery give the place a warm and unique feel. It feels much more personal and atmospheric than a standard chain hotel. The service was genuinely friendly and helpful throughout the stay, which made a big difference and added to the relaxed atmosphere. The main downside is that the rooms are somewhat dated and could use modernization in places. Nothing terrible, but you can definitely feel the age of the property. Overall, a very pleasant stay if you appreciate charm and atmosphere over modern luxury. Strong 4/5.Posted on Google![]()

Weekday meals are a very good price and the menu offers choice. Sunday lunch is really good and mid price with plenty of choice on mains and dessert. Staff are attentive and always polite. Ambiance is welcoming.Posted on Google![]()

Lovely decorated and comfortable room, very welcoming atmosphere, great outdoor space to rest and relax with nice countryside views. Delicious breakfast and indulgent cakes. The people clearly take great care and pride in looking after their guests and the house. Thank you for being so accommodating and welcoming. Great location for walking/hiking and getting into Hastings or Rye too.Posted on Google![]()

We so loved GH we stayed an extra night. A truly special and welcoming place made more special by Shannon ( and her little "helper" Gracie). Comfy bed, fluffy towels and complimentary continental breakfast basket delivered to your door at old school prices. Homey, country vibes with no "boutique B&B" pretentiousness. Cannot wait to stay again!

Beautiful room with even more beautiful view ☺We loved the view, the room, the whole complex! Very beautiful and clean, the host was so nice to us and accommodating! Made lots of pictures of the chickens, the property and the very polite and curious rooster who checked if we had all our belongings in our car ;) :) Wish we could've stayed longer but the UK has too much to offer :)Posted on Booking![]()

A great short stay with a very country vibe! ☺What a unique experience we had at Guestling House, surrounded by ducks, chickens, a vineyard, and an apple orchard! Meeting the super-friendly neighbour and her llamas was such a fun bonus. Huge shoutout to Shannon and Kelsey too—the delightful breakfast basket was an awesome surprise and a huge hit for the family. I even bought two bottles of bubbly! This is the perfect location for a country getaway. We’ll definitely be back! ☹NonePosted on Booking![]()
