Tucked into a quiet pocket of the Kentish countryside, this stunning former Oast house is packed with luxurious treats for all the family, including your two waggy-tailed members. The property sleeps 10 guests and boasts a private hot tub, a well-stocked games room, and an outdoor heated pool, which is available during the summer months. Wake up to the sound of bird song and a delicious breakfast on the patio, savouring the tranquil atmosphere before enjoying a leisurely dip in the pool.

 

Beneath the red brick and climbing wisteria is a haven of stylishly decorated rooms; generously equipped with anything you could possibly need for a relaxing stay. The kitchen is a contemporary dream for rustling up simple suppers and decadent dinners, which can be enjoyed inside or alfresco depending on where the night takes you. Five sumptuous bedrooms await the weary traveller, and there is space for two further guests with the addition of two pull out beds, available on request. Step outside to the courtyard at sunset, or gather for drinks on the lawn, keeping a watchful eye on the younger and waggy-tailed guests by the unfenced pond.

 

If you can tear yourself away, there are plenty of scenic trails to sniff out close by, allowing you to experience the full beauty of your surroundings. Keen golfers will relish the opportunity to hit a few holes at Chart Hills Golf Club 2.5 miles away. The famous Big Cat Sanctuary is also nearby, known for its successful breeding programme of beautiful, yet endangered species. The resident lions, tigers and snow leopards are well worth a visit 1.5 miles away, but it is best leaving Rover out of this day trip!

We wanted for nothing. Everything was there that we needed, so well thought through. Beautifully designed home. The games room was very successful. We were a 2-generational group of 8 adults in early May, and the multiple spaces indoors and outdoors suited us all perfectly.

Had the most amazing New Years stay. Its super spacious but has a lovely cosy feel, all room sizes are very decent, the games room was perfect for a winter escape but the very large spa pool is also there for a warm dip. The host is very easy to contact, and quick to reply. The surrounding villages are gorgeous and have all youd need, a 40min driveRead more away are Camber Sands and Rye and only 10mins away Chapel Down winery. This was the most perfect stay and we will be back Hide
