We had an absolutely wonderful stay. The host is kind and attentive and made sure we had everything we needed; he also had excellent recommendations for things to do in the area. The oasthouse itself is a tasteful, comfortable conversion, which is cosy and delightful but keeps enough of the original fabric and equipment to be fascinating. Part of the building is a recently-built extension, but this is in perfect keeping with the original building. Moreover, it is superbly appointed, with plenty of everything you need for a comfortable stay. The surrounding village is utterly charming. We would love to return!

We had a lovely family weekend at The Oast. The owner was extremely accommodating of our elderly mum's needs, and everything was as we expected it to be. It's a beautiful property, in a fantastic location near the pub, a cafe and a riverside tearoom. Highly recommended.

Gorgeous stay at The Oast. There were eight of us (including a 7 and 3 year old) Beautiful home. Kitchen fairly well equipped - it’s an Induction hob so if you bring your own pans they will need to be induction ones. Alan the owner is such a lovely sweet man who was very helpful. We had full privacy of the beautiful house and gorgeous grounds and it was a wonderful family break.

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay, Charlene. We are so pleased to hear you had a wonderful stay at The Oast and Alan was so helpful with providing advice around the induction hob and why this would not work with your pots that you brought along. Thank you for being great guests with us and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Best wishes, Bloom Stays

A genuinely old & historic building, but clean, modern & comfortable inside. Wonderful outside areas.
All essentials provided, but things like cleaning, washing up liquid, te/coffee/sugar there also.
Location great. CAMRA gbg listed pub next door, cafe opposite, kebab van 2 mins walk. Boat hire 5 mins & steam train 10 min walk. Plenty of local paths.
Owner there on arrival. Friendly and informative.
Really didn’t want to leave ☹️.

We stayed for a long weekend at The Oast and had a wonderful time. Beautiful house and garden. We had great weather and spent most of the weekend sat outdoors looking at the wonderful views.

Miscommunication between the agent, Bloom, and owner about our dogs coming which was a bit stressful on the first evening due to the tone of the email but all sorted the next day.

Our family stay (5 adults) in this quirky and sympathetically renovated oast was lovely. The oast was very comfortable and well equipped. We had fantastic weather so were able to make great use of the outdoor space and BBQ and enjoy the views over the fields (though the oast also offered a large kitchen/diner and lounge area for less good weather). There are many nearby gardens, beaches, and other things to visit and we had a fantastic Indian takeaway from the restaurant a couple of minutes down the road - thanks for the recommendation Alan!

We’ve recently returned from our six day staycation in Kent. The whole experience went smoothly. The booking team were lovely and very helpful. The owner greeted us and was on hand to smooth any minor issues. Very friendly and informative. The Oast offers a unique place to stay. The roundel living room and master bedroom are lovely and both are comfortably furnished. It has all of the conveniences of home with a stunning rural outlook. The pub next door equally offered a friendly welcome and great quality food. We were spoilt for choice for local eateries and things to do and see. A memorable and relaxing break. We’ll likely return in the future.

We were literally guests at the Oast in Newenden with 8 people.
The communication with Alan beforehand and the reception were excellent and warm. Everything was taken care of and any questions (although we didn't have many) were immediately resolved. We couldn't really wish for anything better. The Oast is 100 yards from the welcoming pub. We had a beautiful view from the terrace and there was no noise, what so ever.
The best location as a base for visiting Kent. We went to an Indian restaurant nearby on Alan's recommendation, an absolute must. In short, a stay that we will remember and recommend to everyone.
We suggested even a few improvements and his answer was do realize them at once.

The Oast had everything we needed to spend a fantastic time with friends in Kent. After a warm welcome from Alan, we discovered a beautiful house, full of charm and fully equipped for our stay. The kitchen, the fireplace, the garden, the barbecue…. Everything was perfect included the beds and the soft linens. The Oast is minutes away from Great Dixter, Pashley Manor, Bodiam Castle, Sissinghurst, Rye and beautiful walks like Brightling Park aso… Definitely a place we will rent again!

Lovely oast house in a wonderful location. The outdoor space is fantastic and the master bedroom is gorgeous. The village is great and we particularly enjoyed the boating station and ice creams in their cafe. We appreciated the extras available for a baby like the cot and high chair. The house itself is a lovely old oast house. As with any listed building, there are going to be some things which are a little tired or not to our taste but we expected this. Do beware if you’re 6ft tall…my husband hit his head on the beams upstairs pretty much every day, but again that’s to be expected with an old property! Alan the host is wonderful, very welcoming and couldn’t be more helpful. He resolved the couple of small problems we had immediately and gave us some great recommendations of things to do in the area. We really enjoyed our stay.

We stayed at The Oast for 5 days. We had 4 children and a 1 year old baby. The house was perfect for us and very comfortable.

The space for us worked very well, the house is beautiful and Alan, the owner, was very helpful.

We visited Rye, Battle, Hastings, Bodium, Go Ape in Bedgebury and Bewl Water.

A great little holiday for all.

We had a weeks stay with our extended family.
The Oast is perfectly positioned to explore the Kent and East Sussex areas.
The property has a host of original charm and is in good condition well equipped with lovely large open spaces for the children to play safely.
Would highly recommend it.



An excellent retreat in the beautiful countryside on the Kent Sussex border

Six good friends have just finished a 3 night stay in this beautiful Kentish property. Everything you could possibly wish for is here. Four fabulous comfy bedrooms, three upstairs and one downstairs. A fully equipped kitchen diner to cook, mingle and enjoy each other’s company in! Split living rooms. As many TV’s (one smart) as you could possibly wish for! With DVD player in the main room and a selection of DVD’s. As well as a pretty decent Marantz sound system!! A great living space outside with beautiful views towards the River Rother and Kent & East Sussex heritage railway line. It really is an ‘escape’ worth visiting!! Nearby there’s a village pub - great for meals (booking maybe necessary). We wined, we dined and we walked from our base. Always knowing that we’d have a fabulous home from home experience on our return. I’d highly recommend The Oast as a holiday home!
