The Oast is such a lovely place to stay and the perfect setting. We had a lovely time and will definitely come again.
The Oast was everything we needed and more for a 2 night visit to family in Mayfield. The cottage was well equipped with all we needed, plenty of bedding and kitchen essentials for a self catered stay. Daphne made sure the cottage was warm for us and was on hand if we needed anything. The rural location had a real away from it all feel, with no artificial light there were some beautiful night skies. We took a walk around the farm and saw plenty of birds and deer. We would definitely return to this great little quirky cottage, there's plenty to explore in the area too. Thank you!
I was initially drawn to the Oast House by the architecture of the accommodation. My interest was further piqued when I checked that it was in the middle of a farm with serene greenery to sooth our senses.
Daphne was very helpful and was always available before and during our stay. The provision of the breakfast and milk was something totally unexpected and shows how much she cares for the visitors.
The location can be accessed through a narrow road - advise checking in Google Maps before hand. I have managed to add it in Google Maps.
The actual house is beautifully converted with a circular ground floor living room and a extended circular bed room on the first floor. Views are spectacular with apple trees in the surrounding gardens.
The farm offers long walks with plenty of rabbits, birds and deer in view. The deer can be heard in the evening. The surrounding is quiet and very peaceful.
The Argos Hill Road that runs by the farm leads to Mayfield, but careful driving is suggested after dark. The little village of Mayfield has small artisan shops and nice restaurants to meet the needs (good thing there are no chains). A chippy van offers nice fish and chips.
The owners should be wary of a open well and the fish pond in the courtyard, especially if travelling with small children.
The accommodation is well provisioned and the 2nd bedroom has a pull out bed that can be converted into a full size single.
For those concerned about mobile phone signals, I could get a few bars in my T-Mobile connection, so rest assured you would remain 'connected'.
I would strongly recommend the property to small family or close friends for a perfect get away.
