The Old Oast House

The Old Oast House: Kent

Located in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, within the grounds of a 50-acre estate, this detached oast house overlooks fields and paddocks from its southwest-facing terrace and lawned garden. You may spot the local wildlife, including deer, foxes, and barn owls. If you have children with you, though, a fenced-off pond is nearby, so they'll need to be supervised. Inside, there's a log burner for cosy nights in and a charming circular main bedroom. It would be tempting to spend all your time here, wouldn't it? But that would be a shame as Bewl Water is a ten-minute stroll away, pretty Tunbridge Wells is a twenty-minute drive, and Camber Sands is a forty-minute ride.

Home truths:
*While one bathroom isn't photographed, we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*A welcome hamper is provided, which includes tea, coffee, sugar and milk, along with a few goodies.
*Your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
*The garden is fully enclosed, but a fenced-off pond is nearby, so please ensure children are supervised.
*A ten-minute drive away, or a bus ride from Ticehurst, is the village of Wadhurst, offering a small supermarket. There's also a train station here with services to London (just over one hour). There's also a Michelin-starred restaurant around a fifteen-minute drive away.
*There's parking for three cars here.
