A lovely family stay to celebrate a birthday. The house has the wow factor as soon as you walk in. The house flows really well from kitchen to lounge(s). All bedrooms are spacious & no one would be disappointed with their room. Fantastic garden with a great wooden climbing frame for children. We had drinks outside a couple of evenings. You wont be Read moredisappointed if you book this house. The owner is excellent at answering all questions & very helpful. We will be back Hide

We had a lovely long weekend staying at Hawkridge Oast as a family for a milestone birthday celebration. The house was spacious and comfortable and we especially loved the 2 round bedrooms in the oast itself. The main lounge area and kitchen were also very spacious and worked well for our group of 9 adult residents and 3 day visitors. We loved the Read morespacious grounds too with the tree swing proving a hit with all ages and the table tennis table a valuable addition - our dogs loved the large grassy areas for roaming in too. Overall, we had a great time and very much enjoyed our weekend here in this picturesque part of Kent. Hide

We really enjoyed our weekend - the house is very comfortable and spacious and we made full use of the terrace and BBQ as we had lovely weather. The children really loved the trampoline and play equipment but watch out for the stinging nettles....wellies advised!

This is an amazing modern property, thoughtfully designed and extremely well equipped both inside and out. The grounds are extensive and the environment very peaceful. Even with a large group of people it is very spacious. Would definitely be happy to return.
