Hidden Gem Afternoon Tea in Hastings | A Local's Pick ☕🌿

Fancy sipping tea in a secret garden? 🌸 Most visitors miss The Old Rectory—a charming boutique hotel I stumbled upon by chance! Even if you're not staying, you can book their breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, or spa treatments. Affordable and dreamy—especially in summer when tea is served in their absolutely magical garden! (Last time, gloomy weather moved us indoors, but we still snuck outside when the sun peeked out! ☀️😉) 📍 Location: The Old Rectory (near Old Town—perfect for a post-wander treat!) 🚶 Walkable from Hastings' center 💰 Price: Classic afternoon tea £27pp, with lighter options from £17 📅 Booking essential! 🍳 P.S. Their full English breakfast is solid too! As for the tea? It’s "pretty but standard"—but the garden? Worth every penny. Imagine dainty cups surrounded by blooms… Pure bliss! 💐✨ 📸 Photo tip: Keep it discreet—it’s a quiet, intimate space. Ask staff for the best snap spots! #SlowAfternoonTea #HastingsEats #HiddenHastings #SeasideVibes #GardenGoals #UKTravel #TreatYourself #AfternoonTeaDiaries 🫖💖
