The Oast House, unique to the original hop producing regions of the South East, dates from 1638 and has some exceptional exposed timbering.

The hall has access to the WC and leads to the well-equipped kitchen and dining area (seats 6) with a sliding French window which leads onto the south-facing patio. The roundel, once used for drying hops now provides the circular sitting room with two armchairs, a sofa and television. The circular area also includes the principal bedroom, which has a 5’ bed, a television and an en-suite bathroom. There are two more bedrooms, a second double with a 4’6” bed and a single room with a 3’ bed, along with a luxury small shower room.

Previous guests that have stayed at The Oast House describe ‘a relaxing holiday’ with ‘wildlife on the doorstep & lots to do in Sussex’.

What an amazing place. Beautiful property in gorgeous countryside setting. The only noise were the birds and the cows lowing in the fields.
The kitchen is so wonderfully equipped; from experience of previous holiday let's, I took the usual little kitchen utensil that very rarely are provided. They were redundant as everything was there.
The beds were so comfortable and the little 'snug' sitting room was so cosy.
A real gem of a find and one I would highly recommend.

The Oast House is a lovely cottage. Living room is cosy with small TV. Good dining table and small kitchen with combination microwave and an aga. As it was summer we didn't want the aga on for cooking as it made the place very hot, but we managed with eating out and using the microwave. There is a dishwasher and a few tablets were provided.

There is a washing machine and a clothes airer but no outside drying facilities I could see. There is a patio and picnic table outside. The main bedroom is lovely with an en suite with bath. There is then a separate shower room on the first floor along with a double bedroom and a single bedroom.

The area is beautiful with lots to do. We visited Beachy Head, the Observatory, Bexhill for the shingle beach,and Battle for the Abbey and battleground. We were here for 3 nights, wished it was for more!

Overall a lovely cottage to stay in and we plan to return, either to this cottage or to try one of the others on the same collection as there are 4 in total here.

The Oast House is a cottage full of character in beautiful surroundings.The weather was dreadful, stormy and very windy, but we were happy to spend time relaxing in this comfortable and cosy cottage. There’s a good pub in the village, an excellent village shop in a village just a couple of miles away and we thoroughly recommend The Star Inn at Old Heathfield for food. We had an excellent meal there on New Years Day.
Michael was very helpful on the phone and in person but, now that Covid restrictions are relaxed, an information handbook would be useful. Phone service is good but WIFI is very unreliable and we were unable to use the web.
We had a very enjoyable stay and hope to return to Beechcroft cottages in the future.




Pleasant stay

Very nice Oast House in a quiet environment and a very friendly and helpful owner (thanks again Michael, for your kind hospitality). Only a few missing touches: lack of mirrors in the bedrooms and also downstairs. I would also have appreciated a shower attachment over the main bath as any hair washing required the use of the other ensuite bathroom which had a shower cubicle. The downstairs lounge also looks tired and could do with a refresh to make it more comfortable and modern. The sofa and armchairs were very dated and resembled often seen in a retirement home (sorry but that was the impression). Other than that, the biggest problem was the infestation of flies in the main roundel bedroom. Whilst it is accepted that the property is in the middle of the countryside with cows all around, November is the time when flies emerge from old beams (of which there are many) and/or window surrounds and I strongly doubt they came from outside as the door was firmly closed at all times. Attention needs to be paid to this as it seriously undermined my comfort levels within an otherwise lovely bedroom. However, myself and my friend had a lovely visit to a very beautiful part E Sussex and this cottage is perfectly positioned for exploring



Excellent stay

We had a wonderful time at Beechcroft! Stunning setting not far from the coastline and some historic monuments. Michael is a very friendly and hemofilie owner.
