Very lovely
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.

A perfect balance of comfort and historical interest
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!

The Oast is breathtaking
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.

Eight people in the Oast for a weeks stay
There were 4x couples staying in the Oast comprising me and my 3 cousins & partners. The Oast provided good accommodation for 8 people, has a good kitchen and is well stocked with plates, glasses etc for so many people+. Newenden is well located for exploring Kent and the many attractions around the area.

Very enjoyable property
Nice property to stay in for a family. Nice instruction booklet with information as well as lits of leaflets for activities to do around local area. Unfortunately the pub next door had gardening at 8am with strimmers and lawnmowers going. Overall the area is beautiful and can be quite despite being next to the main road. We enjoyed our stay :)

Lovely stay in charming oast
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!

Delightful short break
Had a 2 night stay in this charming Oast house. Alan, the owner was there to greet us & was very accommodating. He gave us a tour of the property & showed us where everything was. As it was a rainy, chilly evening, he was kind enough to offer to light a fire for us, which we took him up on. The house was in a lovely setting with nice views of the countryside. It was cosy and comfortable and very clean with a well stocked kitchen, which had everything that we needed. It had a lovely relaxed feel to it with touches of old charm. We all loved it and didn't want to leave!.

The Oast at Newenden
The property was very well equipped and there is even an electric car charging point. The location is excellent with Hastings (fish market, beach and the old town); Battle Abbey (excellent and enjoyed by the smaller and larger people); Rye (one of the Cinque ports, Waterworks brewery); and the Kent and East Sussex Railway (to Bodium Castle). Alan, our host, was very helpful. Highly recommended!

Fantastic place.
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 ☹️.

Beautiful property and garden
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.

A unique place to stay
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.

You cannot wish for a better stay
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.

Wonderful location and host
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.
