Well loved Hastings area hotel to close after more than 40 years
The Brickwall hotel and restaurant at Sedlescombe is to close after being run by the same family for 44 years.
The family released a recent statement to say: “After more than 44 years of dedication and hard work at The Brickwall Hotel, Mr Giuseppe Pollio has retired, marking the permanent closure of both the hotel and the restaurant. “We extend our heartfelt thanks to all our loyal customers, suppliers, and colleagues for your unwavering support throughout our journey at The Brickwall. The memories and stories we have shared with you over the years will always be cherished. “As our family begins a new chapter, we wish each of you happiness and success in the years ahead.” Originally built for the local ironmaster in 1599, the hotel has been privately owned and run by the same family for over 40 years, currently father and daughter Giuseppe and Tania Pollio.
The hotel, which is rated three stars by the AA, is a 16th century Tudor mansion which overlooks Sedlescombe village green. It has 22 guest bedrooms and an oak-panelled bar and restaurant.
Generations of local people from Hastings and Rother have held big events like wedding receptions and anniversaries at Brickwall.
