Converted barn / Oast House with amazing views and EV chargers

Hare Farm Oast is a very special place to stay. The large unique farm building has been converted and finished to a high standard as a light and spacious holiday home. It sits in the unspoilt Brede Valley with its own half acre plot and extensive far reaching views. We have carefully breathed new life back into the old oast with its three roundels, originally used for drying and storing hops. Using traditional craftsmanship and materials in its renovation, the oast showcases its unique heritage and beauty, whilst providing ease and comfort to those who stay there.
NEW for 2024: 2 x 7kwh EV charger points

Country Retreat

We had a fabulous time relaxing at Hare Farm Oast. The property is immaculate and well maintained. Our hosts were very responsive and helpful, going above and beyond. I will definitely be back and would recommend the Oast to anyone interested in a quiet country farm house.

Superb accommodation in an idyllic location

A perfect base for a three generation family holiday. The Oast was delightful and immediately felt like home. Tasteful décor and lovely open spaces with views of the valley. Plenty to do in the area and a great pub, The Red Lion, in the village.

A building with 6 round rooms. Wow!

A sensitive restoration of a beautiful oast house. The roundel rooms were wonderful (even have curved radiators). So well looked after, every detail taken care of. And the views, oh my. They were endless, and not an ugly landmark in sight. Just rolling valleys and fluffy white sheep.

30th Birthday celebrations

Just returned after a long weekend celebrating our daughter’s 30th birthday. We were a party of 9 adults and 3 small children. The house was cosy and plenty big enough for us all. Happily stay there again, although we had to be super vigilant at all times as our grandson is only a year old and already walking, so the stairs and the fireplace were very hazardous to him. I would definitely recommend with older children. We were shown around the lambing sheds by Annie and saw some lambs being born. A visit to the Red Lion is a must. All in all a great time, Joanna was very helpful in the run up to our stay and during.

Lovely Relaxing Weekend

Property worked well for a large family group of 10. Bedding was lovely and we had good communication with owner and their family who live next door who were on hand to help with any issues. There was a great outdoor space where we had family games. If we were to make any suggestions it would be for an extra 2 garden chairs to save bringing out indoor ones and the small sofa bed to be replaced as it was very uncomfortable for sitting on. But otherwise all good thank you 😊

An amazing house in a great location.

We had a wonderful week's holiday staying at the oast house at Hare Farm. As soon as we set foot in the property, we knew we were going to enjoy our time there. It is spacious, airy ,funished to a very high standard and of course, a very historically interesting building. Everything that we needed had been provided for and we looked forward to coming back to it every day. The bedrooms were all comfortable, the seating area downstairs was an extremely relaxing place to unwind and the kitchen had every amenity required. The high point for us all however, was the setting. The views from the back of the house were wonderful. We could watch the mist over the fields in the early morning, an owl flying across the valley in the evening, the sheep grazing at any time of day - there was always something to enjoy and appreciate. The rear patio was the perfect place to sit and while away the time and there was also plenty of space for the children to play while others relaxed. When not enjoying being at the house, there is a wide variety of things to do and places to see in the area so it provided a great base for exploring. Returning home however down the country lanes to the farm was always a lovely way to end the day. Our hosts at the farm were incredibly helpful and welcoming. The basket of goodies that greeted us on arrival had been thoughtfully prepared and was much appreciated as were other special touches such as vases of fresh flowers and high quality toiletries in the bathrooms. To sum up, we all felt that this property had everything that we could have hoped for in a holiday venue. We felt we were somewhere special, we found we were able to relax immediately, we were extremely comfortable and we knew straight away that we were going to have a great stay.

A perfect spot for a family break.

We hired the Oast for a family get-together to celebrate a significant birthday. It was absolutely ideal, with good sized bedrooms and plenty of bathrooms (the showers in particular are worth a mention). The private garden was perfect for relaxing, with the sights and sounds (baa!) of the adjacent sheep farm. It’s a short drive to the seaside or into the countryside for walks. I would delighted to recommend it.

Fantastic space and surrounding area

We stayed here as a group of friends for New Years. The property is exactly as in the photos, and even had a fantastic Christmas tree set up which was a welcome surprise. The rooms are spacious and complete to a high standard, and the kitchen is very well equipped. We had a food shop delivered and they had no problem finding us. The property was also very warm, so we hardly needed the fire. There are good walks and pubs nearby, and the coast isn't far away at all. Some of the spotlights need replacing as they were flickering (and the switches could do with labelling - as there are a lot!), but other than that no complaints at all.
