Lying at the foot of the cliffs beneath the 13th Century Strand Gate is The Strand House. Built on the Old Quay and now a Grade II Listed building, it was previously Winchelsea's Old Work House and Smugglers Haunt. A working National Trust farm adjoins the property offering wonderful views from most rooms and some fine walks.

The Strand House takes you back in time with its oak beams and inglenook fireplaces. The ten guestrooms, full of character and atmosphere, positively encourage you to relax whilst enjoying the comforts of en-suite facilities, beverage tray and colour TV. A comfortable lounge, with log fires in season, adjoining the residents' bar and reception, has doors leading out to a spacious and interesting garden. These little comforts and the practical aspects, such as the ample car parking, complement the friendly and courteous service to make your visit a memorable experience. It really is the ideal place to stay while you explore the beautiful surrounding countryside and conservation areas.
