About this property

Delightful pet-friendly oast with enclosed garden on Kent/Sussex border near Rye

Stone Green Oast is a beautiful square kiln oast converted to very comfortable holiday accommodation. This is an "upside-down" house: steps lead up to the main entrance upstairs where there is an airy open-plan sitting and dining room and a separate well-equipped kitchen. An open spiral staircase leads downstairs to the bathroom and bedrooms (1 double and one twin). The master bedroom has french doors which lead up a short flight of steps to the pretty enclosed garden.
Outside there is good quality garden furniture, a barbeque and secure storage for bikes. 2 adult bikes are available for use by guests. The garden is fully enclosed and we can accommodate up to two quiet, well-behaved dogs.
The property is situated on the Saxon Shore Way, in a quiet hamlet, designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, 3/4 mile from the nearest public house. The Royal Military Canal is close by.
The nearest shop is 2 miles away in Appledore and the Cinque Port market town of Tenterden is 7 miles. The ancient town of Rye, with its wide range of restaurants, pubs and live music, is 5 miles away.
The property is ideally situated to explore the wide variety of activities that Kent and Sussex coast offer: the beautiful beaches at Camber and Rye Harbour are great for children and for walking the dogs. Canterbury, with its mediaeval cathedral and excellent shopping, is only an hour away by car. Hastings, with its old town and ancient fishing museum is about 45 minutes by car.
The oast is well placed for visiting local gardens such as Great Dixter, Sissinghurst, Bodiam Castle, Leeds Castle as well as English vineyards: Chapeldown, Gusbourne and Hush Heath.
Ashford Designer Shopping Outlet is 30 minutes by car. The high speed train from nearby Ashford International takes you to London in only 35 minutes.
We are next door if you need any extra assistance during your stay.

Perfect!

I stayed at Amanda and Andrew’s gorgeous Oast House with my husband and dog and only wish we could have stayed longer. They have thought of everything to make their guests comfortable and welcome. Lots of detail and a lovely welcome gift. Ideal for travelling with our dog with a fully enclosed, secluded garden, bowls, spare leads and throws for the sofa. The oast is absolutely gorgeous and had everything we needed. The surrounding area was perfect for dog walks and Rye and Tenderten were great places to visit. Hope to be back at some point

In one word: Perfect!

We had the most wonderful time in this cozy little oast. It‘s clean, tastefully furnished and equipped with everything you could possibly need. We were welcomed by incredibly friendly and helpful hosts and lovely goodies in the kitchen. Amanda and Andrew will go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and provide whatever is necessary for that. We had a little problem with the heating for a day, but were supplied with electrical radiators to tie us over until the next day Amanda could get hold of an engineer, who over the phone talked her through all necessary steps while she personally repaired the heating system. Successfully! And afterwards we even received a little basket with more goodies for the inconvenience, which was absolutely not necessary but very much appreciated. Amazing hosts! The area is beautiful and our dog loved the footpaths over the fields and through the vineyard as much as we did. The peace and quiet in that little village was heavenly! The Ferry Inn down the road or Black Lion Pub in Appledore have yummy food, Miss Mollet‘s tea room in Appledore is a must and the small store in Appledore is sufficient unless you are planning to purchase larger supplies - there‘s supermarkets in Tenterden, which is definitely worth a visit. And don’t miss out on Rye. A lovely beach is close in Camber Sands. Long story short - you will love it here!! We sure did. Thank you so much!

Beautiful and welcoming Oast House

I wanted a quiet holiday with some good dog walks and some interesting places to visit. The Oast house was so very clean and tidy it had everything you needed and some special touches. Welcome goodies and even a supply of dog stuff (leads, towels etc) a mature enclosed garden and a well stocked kitchen. The instructions were simple and comprehensive, we had a lovely time

AMAZING

We have just spent a great few days here. Despite the rubbish weather, we still had a great time and definitely plan to come back. The Oast was wonderful. Lots of thoughtful additional touches that made being away from home easy. The beds were comfortable, the bath was lovely and the garden is beautiful (our dogs loved exploring it and doing laps around the bush!) The area is great too with some great dog friendly pubs with amazing food. Thank you for a wonderful trip. We are so glad we stumbled across your beautiful Oast house.

What a wonderful little house

We hat a wonderful time in the oust. The house was immaculately clean. On our arrival we were welcomed by homemade bread and cake - yummy. The house has a nice garden with a terrace to sit on and two loungers - unfortunately not enough sun to really use it. The contact to our host Amanda was nice, we felt very welcomed.

Wonderful return to a favorite place

This is our second stay at Stone Green Oast, and it was just as nice this time as it was six years ago. The oast itself is a neat building, very comfortable inside, with everything one could want. Immaculately kept, everything works, beautiful view of the gardens, pleasant outside seating. Amanda and Andrew are perfect hosts, making us feel very welcome, and were always available in case of need. We hope to be able to return again soon.

Our wonderful stay

I would highly recommend a stay in this converted Oast. My partner, our dogs and I had a lovely time. Such a nice part of Kent, we didn't want to leave! Amanda's thoughtful touches made it even more special- we had homemade bread, red currant jelly and a cake for my partners birthday along with butter and milk. The oast was clean and tidy and there were some pretty walks around the area.

Wonderful!

This converted Oast House is absolutely perfect! It has been beautifully converted, is very tastefully decorated, immaculately clean, and has absolutely everything you need for a holiday cottage. As others have said, it is the best, most comfortable place I have stayed in, it really is wonderful. A great deal of care and thought appears to have been put into making this just a lovely place to stay and with the fenced garden, very dog friendly as well. The surrounding countryside is lovely, and interesting places to visit nearby. We definitely want to visit again, and would thoroughly recommend.

Lovely Property

We had a lovely stay at the oast. The property was very clean with everything needed for a few days stay. The location is great for Camber, Rye and we did some nice walks. Unfortunately we encountered the water being cut off due to a burst water main but that was out of their control. We both slipped on the spiral staircase despite their being strips to prevent this on the bottom steps so beware of this when going down the stairs. Otherwise if was a nice break.

A brief visit. Very pleasant property, well furnished and fully equipped.

A shorter than expected stay, but good communication with the owner ensured we were all fully informed. The Oast is very well furnished with careful thought clearly given to design and creating a homely atmosphere. The location is well placed for access to Rye and various gardens, eg Great Dixter and Sissinghurst as well as Dungerness and further East along the coast.

Wunderschönes Urlaubsdomizil in Kent

Sehr schönes umgebautes Oast in ländlicher Umgebung. Gut geeignet für Urlaub mit Hund für Wanderungen in der Umgebung und Ausflüge. Zum nächsten Supermarkt fährt man allerdings eine Viertelstunde und auch die Matratzen könnten teilweise eine Erneuerung vertragen. Der Garten rundet das Ganze gut ab!

A week away in beautiful Kent !

We had an absolutely wonderful stay in this lovely old Oast house, with our dog Lottie ! The accomdation was immaculate throughout, cleverly designed and converted and extremely well equipped. On arrival there was a welcoming array of home made cake, jam and bread alongside fresh milk, butter and locally made drinks in the fridge. The good sized garden was beautiful and safely enclosed for our dog. There were plenty of walks on the doorstep , and we found nearby Rye Harbour nature reserve a lovely place for a great day out for all of us. Amanda and Andrew were great hosts who were there for advice and made us feel very welcome.

Perfekt zum Erholen

Nach einer Woche Sightseeing in London haben wir uns zur Erholung für eine Woche hier in diesem zauberhaften Oast eingemietet. Wir hatten auf Ruhe und Entspannung gehofft und beides bekommen. Die Wohnung ist total gemütlich eingerichtet und lässt keine Wünsche offen. Die Küche hat alles, was man braucht, um auch mal aufwendiger zu kochen und im Wohnzimmer lässt es sich super entspannen. Wir haben eine Wanderung aus einem der Reiseführer, die in der Wohnung liegen, gemacht und fanden sie toll und empfehlenswert: Auf Jane Austen Spuren von Chilham nach Godmersham - ein zweistündige Wanderung, die uns durch die wunderschöne Landschaft führte. Direkt vom Oast kann man auch mal durch die Wiesen loslaufen, z.B. zur kleinen Dorfkirche oder zum Royal Military Channel. Ansonsten können wir noch Ausflüge nach Rye, Great Dixter Garden und Sissinghurst empfehlen. Great Dixter ist unserer Meinung nach einer der schönsten Gärten überhaupt. Die Vermieter waren sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Zur Ankunft erwartete uns ein selbstgebackener Kuchen - da fühlten wir uns gleich willkommen. Nun ein paar praktische Tipps zur Digitalisierung vor Ort: Im Haus gibt es hervorragendes WLAN. ABER: In Kent hat man ansonsten kaum Empfang. Man sollte sich daher nicht auf Google Maps verlassen hier in der Gegend, sondern eher auf ein klassisches Navigationssystem im Auto vertrauen. Absolut empfehlenswert.

Stair gate in place for the steep stairs. Agree also that it was pet friendly with bowl treats lead all provided, garden is secure for our dog. Would highly recommend

Great Oast, Great Holiday !!!!

Where should I start? The Oast is really a great cottage to spend a holiday. A great enclosed garden, also great for small dogs who like to go for a walk. The Oast is very special, with a very nice interior, and everything around is well maintained and clean. The welcome and interaction with Amanda and her husband was very warm. On arrival there was bread, cake, jam, butter and and in the kitchen. Simply great. Just a very nice holiday, always again.

About the host

Hosted by Amanda Button

Host profile image
We moved to Stone in Oxney a few years ago with our five children and four dogs. All our children have grown up and moved away now, so we decided to make the oast available as a holiday cottage. We enjoy staying in holiday cottages ourselves, and know how difficult it can be to find the right one, especially if you have dogs. We aim to offer you a hospitable welcome and comfortable stay, with everything you need to make it your own.
We love it here, and hope that you will too.

Why they chose this property

We love the oast because, although it is a beautiful and historic building, typical of the area and its rural heritage, it is well adapted for comfortable living. We moved to Stone in Oxney because of its peaceful location in the beautiful countryside of Kent and East Sussex, and its closeness to the sea. There are lots of enjoyable walks for the dogs, as well as good cycle routes, usually with a decent pub nearby. Camber Sands is only a few miles away, as are the loveliest small towns in Kent and East Sussex, such as Rye and Tenterden.

What makes this property unique

This a traditional Kent oast, with a square kiln and a moving cowl pointing out the wind direction. We hope that you will enjoy the high standard of furnishings and cleanliness at Stone Green Oast, the spacious enclosed garden and, above all, the unique character of the property. With just two downstairs bedrooms, it is cosy and comfortable. The upstairs reception rooms are beautifully converted with oak flooring and balustrading, and a fantastic spiral staircase which is not out of place with the traditional oak beams that can be found throughout. Two quiet, well behaved dogs are welcome by prior arrangement. Two adult cycles are available for exploring the surrounding countryside.
