The property was lovely, all bedrooms were of a good size and had a lovely open plan dinning/lounge area. The local area was beautiful with fantastic walks and a cosy local pub. Would definitely stay again.
Gorgeous setting for our weekend gathering. Great to be able to use outdoor space and be comfortable indoors too. Bedrooms all generously sized. Location lovely!
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.
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.
Just returned after a long weekend celebrating our daughterâs 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.
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 đ
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.
Special long weekend for immediate family. Wonderful house with tons of character in a very rural location but only 15-20 mins from Rye, Hastings, Chapel Down winery and pubs galore
A wonderful property, exactly as described, and with beautiful views. Very peaceful and private, and it worked very well for our extended family, particularly the large open plan space, and none of the bedrooms disappointing. We will be back!
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. Itâs a short drive to the seaside or into the countryside for walks. I would delighted to recommend it.
Quite with a view. Great local pub within walking distance.
Building and contents was to a high standard. Would recommend. But remember to take basics such as salt and pepper.
Our parents bought Hare Farm in 1985 when the Oast house was a redundant building (the last hop harvest on Hare Farm was in the 70s) and so they used it as their potting shed. The farm is now run by my brother, Stuart, in one of the most beautiful parts of the Sussex countryside. Myself, Stuart and Annie (sister-in-law) restored and converted the Oast house in 2010/11. Alongside the sheep farm and conservation schemes, we offer both the Oast house and a shepherds hut as self-catering accommodation.
Hare Farm is often recalled as a true âDarling Buds of Mayâ setting, made all the more so by the oast house which holds so much history and beauty architecturally. We could not let it collapse and disappear. We have invested in restoring it to its original beauty, and converting it in to a high-spec holiday home for our guests to all enjoy. Such a unique and historic feature in the Sussex landscape is now secure for generations to come, and we are very proud to have enabled this to happen.
Hare Farm Oast is unique for its building and situation. Firstly it offers an idyllic setting (far from the road with spectacular views across the Brede Valley). Secondly, the oast house is one of the most stunning properties one could wish to stay in. It is spacious throughout, has three roundels, so six round rooms to admire and many of the original features are retained (exposed brickwork, timber, vaulted ceilings, hop equipment). Thirdly, it is finished to a very high spec, including luxury master bedrooms and en-suites, a fabulous round kitchen with Corian worktops and a Rangemaster cooker, oak and tiled floors with underfloor heating throughout the downstairs, Sky Sports and more. It really is a very special place to stay.
