Perfect for a relaxing break

Oast Barn Cottage was the perfect location to get away from it all. Small but perfectly formed, the cottage had everything we needed for a relaxing break and the owner even provided some essential to help us settle in right away. It was a perfect base to explore the surrounding area, or just sit and relax in the garden enjoying the birdsong!

Beautiful cottage

Oast barn cottage was delightful, a beautiful haven full of singing birds and nature. Helen stocked the kitchen on our arrival with fresh juice, eggs and bread and little extra bits. A welcoming and wonderful peaceful stay, the bathtub and bed were a treat. So cosy.

Modern twist on olde world cottage

Lovely last minute olde world cottage with a modern twist when our original booking fell through. Very happy with our choice in this quiet and secluded cottage in the Kent countryside. Great bedroom and huge bathroom was a delight really enjoyed our stay. The limited headroom downstairs and the doors was not a problem for me as I’m only 4”11 whereas anyone taller like my partner who is 6” plus, might find it challenging.

Comfortable stay in great location

Oast Barn Cottage was comfortable, although smaller than it looks on the photographs. It's in a really peaceful location, very rural but we found it really central to the places we wanted to visit. The cottage would benefit from a little more storage but appreciate it's an old building.

Charming Country Cottage

The cottage is well-fitted and beautifully decorated with an enclosed garden accessed from the kitchen which was ideal for our dogs. The location is good for visiting the area, including Canterbury, Faversham, the coast and many National Trust houses and gardens. There are some good pubs and eateries in the area (including Michelin star dining). We would recommend for a romantic holiday for 2!

A short break in Kent

We had a lovely three nights in Oast Barn Cottage. The owners had kindly left some provisions and dog treats which were much appreciated. The cottage is very well located for exploring Kent and an easy journey to Faversham, Whitstable and Margate. It is surrounded by beautiful countryside and very peaceful.

Oast Barn Cottage Visit

We had a lovely few days staying in this very homely cottage. Very well appointed, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay, including very nice welcome goodies, thank you! Good walks from the doorstep to enjoy with our border collies, and the secure garden was a real plus. We were lucky to have scorching weather for our long weekend, and the garden was a cool sanctuary for us all to relax in. Highly recommend a visit to Belmont House and Gardens, very close by and free entry when staying at Oast Barn Cottage.

A lovely comfortable and charming private cottage in beautiful countryside with lots to do and see

What a gorgeous cottage, well appointed and so comfortable. Best sleep I have had in years. The number of birds chirping away was gorgeous. I even saw a barn owl one night. Helen the owner is really lovely and truly cares about ensuring your stay is the best it can be.

A Wonderful Kent break!!

We absolutely loved Oast Barn Cottage and our stay in Kent. A lovely cottage for us with our dog - big garden to run around in. Location was great for getting to places such as Faversham, Canterbury, Whitstable to name but a few! Helen our host was absolutely lovely, kind and helpful throughout or stay - nothing was too much trouble. The cottage was cosy and very comfortable and exactly what we wished for. We were both very sad to leave and hope to return soon to see lots of other things we weren’t able to see this time. Thank you again Helen for a lovely 2024 Summer break!

Oust Barn Cottage - highly recommend

If you are a Couple, looking for a little 'time out' in a cottage of character within peaceful surroundings, Oust Barn Cottage would be perfect. Really well appointed, has all you need, with the owners close next door if need the contact. Great base to explore North Downs - history and cultural heritage is half an hour away with Canterbury, Chatham. The Coast within 20 minutes to Whitstable - or more inland to fabulous villages with their famous Oust houses. Many well signposted walking routes over gentle hills and in good weather, nothing better to rest the mind -- we can highly recommend.

Picture perfect cottage in picture perfect hamlet

Bells Forstal, if you want a break 'away from it all' is pretty much perfect, about 6 houses and 3 cars an hour, many places to walk your dog straight from the door. A large garden which is fenced all round and a beautiful cottage. The only downside for us was the bed, which was very uncomfortable, possibly because the bedroom floor slopes in several directions. The bath and shower were great and the bathroom is wonderful, a bath with a view!

Good location and comfortable

Oast Barn Cottage is well located for visiting Kent's attractions and comfortably warm, although one of us found the bed too soft. A particular benefit is the use of a season ticket for the excellent Belmont House and Gardens which is only 5 minutes away by car. The kitchen is small and therefore there is limited crockery-two mugs for example- which we think could be increased with better use of the kitchen storage there is. This means if anything like a mug handle is found to be cracked then whoever is staying needs a replacement promptly to avoid unnecessary inconvenience.

A lovely little rural cottage for 2 in a peaceful location.

We really enjoyed our stay in oast barn cottage which, for us, was ideally situated for visiting close family who live barely 15 minutes drive away. The cottage is beautifully presented, the bed extremely comfortable and the large bathroom with shower and free standing bath an absolute pleasure. Our weeks stay coincided with an extremely cold spell and at our request the owner very kindly increased the length of time that the central heating was running. There is a rather an ornate log burner which we lit once, but it took quite a while to "get going" and therefore it wasn't a practical option to fit in with our comings and goings. We are used to dealing with log burners as we have a large one at home but, as attractive as it is, we didn't find the model in the cottage very user friendly. Apart from that we would recommend slightly more crockery/cutlery is provided (only 2 small mugs, 4 dinner plates, 2 dessert plates, 4 side plates, 2 soup bowls). Everything else was perfect! Thank you for a lovely stay.

We werden hartelijk welkom geheten door de gastvrouw. Er stond een voedsel pakket voor de eerste dag/ochtend klaar (eieren, melk, koffie, thee, sap, vers brood). Het bed is comfortabel en heeft superzacht beddengoed. Alles is piekfijn voor elkaar en je hebt veel privacy. Een aanrader!

A perfect country cottage

We enjoyed a lovely stay at Oast Barn cottage over the long Jubilee weekend, and couldn't have have a better time. The cottage is picture perfect, with a beautiful garden, lovely sun loungers, a table and chairs, and even a small barbecue. The garden gets the sun almost the whole day, which is wonderful. The cottage itself is incredibly cosy with a lovely log burner (not used by us), a really comfy bed and a great shower, the latter two being something which is important to us. The cottage is equipped with most things that you would expect and has a lovely, homely feel. Two very small criticisms would be that the wifi was poor for a lot of our stay, and because we were both having to work over the weekend, it did hinder our progress with getting things done and despite the booster boxes, it probably needs improving. The sofa was probably just a little bit small to get really comfy on and could probably do with being a touch bigger. Separately, the owner did not know that our pets were cats, despite us informing Bloom and asking them to check if cats were allowed, as we have found in other cottages that when pets are stipulated as being accepted, it usually just means dogs . The owner was very gracious and accepted the situation but I would have preferred she had been completely in the know. All that said, it would absolutely not prevent us from returning to Oast Barn cottage as we have come back to London with fabulous memories of a great weekend.

A cottage with lots of character

A lovely cottage, full of character. Comfortable bed. Great shower & bath. Warm when log burner lit otherwise bit chilly and draughty. Thankyou for thoughtful provisions on arrival. A very peaceful location with dog walks from the door. A good base from which to explore the coast and Canterbury. Bit expensive for self catering accommodation but would definitely stay here again.

Just as described

The cottage was lovely, just as the description and pictures on the website. The owners were just next door so easy to get any help if needed. Plenty of cutlery and crockery. Lovely few essentials (milk, butter, coffee, tea, sugar, bread and some dog treats too). Very comfortable bed. Quiet environment, just the birds. Would recommend the cottage. Just needs a little sign on the gate as it was a little obscure.

Idyllic stay perhaps a little pricey for what it is.

This was a great little spot to have a break from the city. Everything you need to have a break - sit back and listen to the birds in a quiet spot, with an open fire in the evenings. Location wise, if you have a car - this is a lovely spot. Close to lots of walks and gardens and a short enough drive from the coast, namely whitstable which was a lovely place to visit. We were left to enjoy it with zero interruption which was perfect for our needs. We would say that value for money wise, we think slightly overpriced for the accommodation size/facilities.
