About this property

Oast House Near Battle

Rising like fairy-tale turrets throughout Kent and Sussex, the British oast is a well-loved feature of the countryside that happens to make a great home too. We can sleep from 2 to 10 people. We can accommodate up to 8 adults and 2 older children.
There is a large living area, modern stone bathroom and full kitchen facilities. The floors are oak boarded or stone and both the bedroom and living rooms of the annexe have large glass double doors which open onto the garden. The historic market town of Battle is a 7 minute drive away. The property is in a quiet location with beautiful views over the countryside and includes a lawn area, ideal for barbecues.
We have many family parties and celebrations at the holiday let, but property is not suitable for loud parties with loud music. If you think your party will be loud, this is not the property for you. The Hot tub available with a fee of £100 per stay (cleaning/chemicals/maintenance) payable on your arrival.

Perfect place to celebrate
We were a group of 8 girls , it was a super house for our birthday celebrations, Michael was very helpful and informative throughout the whole booking process , the house is very spacious , it’s equipped with everything you need , the hot tub is fabulous ,set in a beautiful rural location but easy to get to Battle , Bexhill-On-Sea etc .. we had shopping delivered for when we arrived and a local chef to cook on one of the evenings plus several pubs are within walking distance ( probably not when it’s dark tho) I would highly recommend a stay here.

Disappointing
The property was tired and not maintained. It had not been updated for at least 15 years. The cleaning was very bad. Cobwebs, dirty underwear left in a bedroom drawer. The outdoor furniture cushions were in tatters. The metal table and chairs were rusty (not usable). We text the (super) host who lived on the same property "that we were very disappointed" he did not appear, no response.

Wonderful weekend in beautiful Oast House
Our group of 7 friends had a wonderful weekend staying at Michael's Oast House. The property is stunning, beautifully decorated throughout. House was all very clean and tidy and kitchen well stocked with all the utensils, pots and pans we could need We were given a very warm welcome on arrival and a helpful tour of the property when we arrived. The hot tub was an added treat. We'll definitely be making a return visit!

About the host

Hosted by Michael Townsend

Host profile image
We live just outside Battle, England, in the beautiful Ashbourne Oast which we purchased in December 2008. We both own and run What’s On Magazine - an independent company established for 16 years. We enjoy living here because of its proximity to the beautiful historic town of Battle, it gives us the peace of the countryside with easy access to the coast and larger towns of Eastbourne and Tunbridge Wells for shopping. London can be reached easily by the local mainline stations.

Why they chose this property

The large property is a twin Oast House and Barn conversion with an attached Annexe, set in 2 acres of land down a short track from the main road.
The property offers all the benefits of the peaceful countryside with easy access to local and regional towns. It is set in an elevated position and has far reaching views of the surrounding countryside.

What makes this property unique

The British oast is a well-loved feature of the countryside that happens to make a great home too.
So what is an oast? For visitors from overseas, the distinctive circular towers with conical roofs can be quite a surprising sight. Oasts were the farm buildings where hops were traditionally dried out and packed for our brewing industry from the 16th century onwards.
The word actually refers to the attached barn, where the hop press was situated, while the tower where the hops were dried should properly be called the kiln or roundel. The roundel acted like a chimney. A charcoal-fired kiln was built at the bottom, and above were two or three thin floors where the hops were spread, through which the heat could pass, before disappearing through the white-painted cowl on the top.
