It became Gralyn Guest House in the 1950s and part was Regina's Hairdressers in 1974..Now it is a blend of old traditional history and modern comfort.Many, including a host of film and tv personalities, academics, entertainers, literary folks and film crews stay here..Grand Hastings has featured in both films and tv .but most are drawn by the stunning sea views and skyscapes.
