St Leonards-On-Sea House | Big House for Big Occasions! Ideal for luxury large get-togethers. Sleeps 16/18.

8 Bedroom House in St Leonards-On-Sea, St Leonards on Sea

This former award-winning boutique Hotel ('Zanzibar') in the trendy St Leonards area of Hastings boasts exceptional sea-views from all the major rooms and is perfect for large family get-togethers, high-end retreats and big occasions. Eight ensuite bedrooms comfortably sleep 16 to 18 while the ground-floor offers excellent reception rooms, a well-equipped kitchen and a terraced garden with BBQ, outdoor dining area and hot-tub. High-speed internet is available throughout the property and Netflix is available in all the bedrooms. High-quality bed linen, REN toiletries, luxury bath oils, fluffy bathrobes and complimentary slippers are all provided for maximum lounging. The bedrooms are spotlessly clean and maintained to a high standard. There are 2 parking spaces for your use in a secure car park nearby and there is further free, unrestricted on-street parking in ‘Warrior square’ (approx. 50m from the house).
The ground floor is the heart of the house. The fully-fitted kitchen is well-equipped and opens-up (via bi-fold doors) to a covered area of garden with BBQ, hot tub and outdoor lounge & dining areas. At the other end of the kitchen, the atmospheric dining room comfortably seats 14 / 16 people and there is an additional small table that seats 3 or 4 within easy reach. The main dining room leads to the cosy lounge with an array of comfortable seating, sea views, its own bar, a Sage (bean to cup) coffee machine, large screen TV & Bluray DVD. There is a well-stocked DVD library for your use and jigsaw puzzles & board games are available on request.
'Zanzibar' is 30 metres from the beach. Exit the house in either direction and you have miles of wide flat promenade along the top of the beach; ideal for walking, running, scooting or cycling. The Pubs, restaurants, cafes, bakeries, take-aways, convenience stores and antique shops of St Leonards are all within easy reach. The cobbled streets and funicular railways of the historic old part of town are a 20-minute walk away. These give way to the Protected Hastings Country Park - essentially an extension to the nearby South Downs – offering cliff-top walks and stunning views all the way to the quaint Medieval village of Rye some 12 miles away. The Blue Reef Aquarium, the Hastings Contemporary art gallery, the fishermen’s museum and the characterful tall black net huts are all situated in the old part of Hastings, not to mention amusement arcades, fish ‘n’ chips, live music, crazy golf and the boating lake. The White Rock Theatre and Hastings Pier are less than 5 minutes’ walk away to the East. Head West from the house and the Art Deco De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill is reachable within a couple of hours (walking).
As a holiday house, the former hotel promises a special experience for family get-togethers, friends' reunions, noteworthy occasions, wedding anniversaries and big birthdays. The all-ensuite bedrooms offer space and privacy when needed while the open-plan reception areas allow for everyone to come together for evening cocktails, fabulous meals, and late-night film viewing.
Despite its coveted location opposite the beach, it's worth noting that Zanzibar is situated in a heavily residential area. Whilst we are happy to host big occasions, we are not able to hold events, stag / hen do's or noisy parties.
Dogs are permitted (by prior agreement) with an additional £50 cleaning fee and we ask that their access is limited to the ground floor and just a couple of the bedrooms. If more information is required, please get in touch with us directly via our own 'Zanzibar Hastings' website.

Summary: We stayed 3 nights at Zanzibar, for our lab retreat - 16 (neuro)scientists from London who were looking for a nice place to hang out, cook, drink, bind and talk science. Zanzibar did not disappoint! it's an amazing place to chill and have fun. Kitchen is fully equipped, rooms are set tastefully and beautifully, the common area has plenty of space to cozy up in big or small groups, and hot tup was a bonus. Location is great too -- short walk to the train station, a pleasant walk to hiking paths and local cafes. Max is a great host, easy communication and very helpful. This place might easily become The place to come back next year (and years after) for our annual retreat!

Summary: On approaching hotel Zanizibar I must admit I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from its unassuming exterior. Within seconds of stepping foot inside all my fears were allayed as I was met with the most incredible treasure trove of rooms. On every floor and behind every door was another wonderful surprise. Each room was exquisitely decorated within its individual theme. The words ‘opulent’ and ‘majestic’ spring to mind. Some rooms had not only a shower but also a free-standing bath. Myself and my guests felt extremely lucky to be staying in such a great place. There was more than enough room for our party of 17, whether it be for us all to dine together or within our respective rooms. We also made very good use of the jacuzzi. Would recommend this to anyone looking for something special with that extra bit of wow factor.

Summary: Had a great time. The property is simply amazing but does have quite a lot of stairs! Location is great with the beach just over the road. Max, the owner, was very helpful and accommodating.

Summary: On the seafront about 10 minutes walk from Hastings Pier, 15 minutes from shops restaurants and funfair etc. A fascinating property, no 2 rooms are the same either by size or furnishings. Superb kitchen area with everything you could possible need. No 2 bedrooms are anywhere near alike but most have great views out to sea (Hastings is not known for its shipping so expect a few fishing boats early morning and some sailing craft) The big plus is the owner Max. Nothing is too much trouble and if you have an issue, we had a couple of minor ones, he gets them sorted without delay. We had a great week and thoroughly recommend it.

Summary: If you want somewhere special to meet with a large group of friends or family, Hotel Zanzibar is perfect. Great sleeping spaces all with en-suites, sea views from the front of the house, brilliant social space complete with a bar (we had a cocktail night!) and a fab host from start to finish. We had a great weekend!

Summary: Max was absolutely lovely, we’ve stayed in his other property ‘cliff hanger’. He’s always very helpful and accommodating. The house is stunning. The cake was beautiful and bottle of bubbly, such lovely little welcome gestures! Highly recommend.

Summary: I travel alot and I can say without a doubt this is best house I've ever stayed in. 11/10 Max was excellent, responsive, kind and welcoming, he went over and above. I really appreciated everything did for us. I had 16 adults and 2 children guests for my 30th birthday weekend. The house is massive. It isn't accessible friendly because of the stairs but its totally worth it. There is so much space its insane. Beautifully decorated rooms that looks just like the pictures if not better. Well maintained and clean. The kitchen is a dream. All the feidge and freezer space you will ever need. I do not say lightly that it is was a weekend ill treasure forever. Thank you so much!
