Historic Coastal Retreat for Group Stays by the Sea
Large Group Accommodation in Hastings
Archery Retreat is a large coastal house in St Leonards-on-Sea, Hastings, sleeping up to 10 guests and designed for group stays, family gatherings and retreats by the sea, with a layout centred around shared living.
A large kitchen and dining space forms the centre of the house, creating a natural place for meals, conversation and time spent together. The main living room offers a comfortable space to unwind, while a separate cinema room allows for quieter moments away from the main group.
South-facing rooms bring in consistent natural light throughout the day. The garden provides an additional outdoor space for dining, reading or simply stepping away from the house.
This balance between shared space and privacy makes the house particularly well suited to group stays.
