Mia Preston managing director of Pod Central, who has lived in St Leonards for more than 15 years, said: “This is something new for the area, offering budget accommodation for young people, single parents, retired people – anyone looking for ‘no frills’ accommodation.

“I came up with this fun idea when I was taking my son to explore universities round the country and it was difficult to find inexpensive accommodation.”

Pod Central is opening its hotel next month in St Leonards.
