Linda and Nigel really went above and beyond as hosts. So welcoming and accommodating! The house was surprisingly spacious and had everything we needed. The hottub was a hit with the kids, keeping them entertained for ages. We're already planning to come back!

Lucy

We had an excellent stay during October half term. The house was spacious, spotlessand had everything we needed. The owners were super helpful and easy to reach. Can't wait to come back in summer to enjoy the heated pool, which sadly closes in September. Highly recommend!

Emma Collins

We recently spent a lovely weekend celebrating an 80th birthday with family across four generations. The house was spotlessly clean, super comfyand had everything we needed. Lin and Nigel were so helpful without being intrusive, making sure we had a great stay. The kids loved the big garden and fieldand the pool and hot tub were perfect in the sunshine. We'll definitely return!

James

We've stayed here twice nowand once again, Linda and Nigel were fantastic hosts. The house is really spacious, modernand fully kitted out, making everything super comfortable. The big highlight is the bathroom in the Oast turret - such a lovely view of the pond and fields while you shower. We had great laughs around the huge dining table during meal times. Plus, it's perfect for exploring charming villages and top-notch pubs nearby. Headcorn Station is just 8 minutes away - perfect for trips to London. We'll be back!

Emma Clarke

We had a fantastic stay at this lovely place! The house is super cosy and has everything you need for a comfortable break. The pool, hot tuband games room kept everyone entertained. We also loved just chilling in the garden and soaking up the views. It's spacious enough so you never feel cramped. Although it's pretty private, you're only a quick drive to shops, cafesand restaurants. We'd definitely come back - highly recommend!

Emma Clark

We found this place perfect for our family getaway! The pool and hot tub were a hit, checked daily by the ownersand used every day by us. Any tiny issues were sorted quickly. There's plenty of space for some quiet time too. Honestly, we loved it!

Emma Parker

We booked this place for a Christmas break with a group of 8and it was fantastic. The house is cosy, super well-equippedand really comfortable-definitely felt like a home away from home. The hot tub was a real highlight, enjoyed it every day! The log burner was perfect for chilly evenings. The owners are lovely and went out of their way to help, especially when it snowed. Massive thanks for making our weekend so special!

Oliver

Honestly, we had a lovely time here! The house is really charming, beautifully decoratedand perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The hosts are super friendly and made us feel right at home. We loved the little touches like the replacement swingball and the rosemary bush - perfect for our roast lamb on Easter. We also had visitors and everyone was genuinely impressed. The games room was definitely a highlight, lots of fun for everyone. Thanks so much for a great stay!

Emma

West Hoy Oast really had everything we needed, which was a lovely surprise. They provided washing powder, fairy liquid, dishwasher tabletsand even dog poo bags! The owners also left salt, pepperand sauces, saving us a trip to the shops. The bottle of champagne was a thoughtful touch too. Great stay!
