My boyfriend and I wanted to get away for the weekend, randomly choosing Hastings. After reading so many excellent reviews on the internet about 'Black Rock House' we decided to give it a whirl. I called and was immediately impressed by the very warm lady on the other end of the phone, Lesley, who booked us in, emailed us a list of restaurant options and generally impressed us from the off.
Upon arrival we were greeted with delicious homemade cake, offered drinks and led into the very chic and inviting lounge where we could unwind in front of the fire. We were shown to our room and were impressed yet again by how cozy, stylish and immaculately clean our 'suite' was, yes 'suite'. We'd booked a double but had a wonderful 'wing' with two bedrooms, a large contemporary bathroom with all mod cons and all the little touches one could want. You could actually just shut yourselves away and never come out again! In fact.... the temptation was great.
After having a taxi booked for us (again, nothing too much trouble for these ladies) we left to visit a local restaurant. Upon returning, we chose a DVD from the array kindly left for guests to help themselves to, and snuggled down to watch said film. Our only complaint is that the bed was so utterly blissful and the room so tranquil that we fell asleep and missed the film!
In the morning we came down to a very inviting dining room and were greeted by Tracey-Ann who was equally as lovely as Lesley. We both ordered the full cooked breakfast and casually read the papers, left out for our pleasure... just the perfect Sunday morning.
This has to be one of the best weekend getaways we have ever had thanks to these ladies, their attention to our every whim and their beautiful establishment.
Thank you!!
