Delightful pet-friendly oast with enclosed garden on Kent/Sussex border near Rye

Stone Green Oast is a beautiful square kiln oast converted to very comfortable holiday accommodation. This is an "upside-down" house: steps lead up to the main entrance upstairs where there is an airy open-plan sitting and dining room and a separate well-equipped kitchen. An open spiral staircase leads downstairs to the bathroom and bedrooms (1 double and one twin). The master bedroom has french doors which lead up a short flight of steps to the pretty enclosed garden.
Outside there is good quality garden furniture, a barbeque and secure storage for bikes. 2 adult bikes are available for use by guests. The garden is fully enclosed and we can accommodate up to two quiet, well-behaved dogs.
The property is situated on the Saxon Shore Way, in a quiet hamlet, designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, 3/4 mile from the nearest public house. The Royal Military Canal is close by.
The nearest shop is 2 miles away in Appledore and the Cinque Port market town of Tenterden is 7 miles. The ancient town of Rye, with its wide range of restaurants, pubs and live music, is 5 miles away.
The property is ideally situated to explore the wide variety of activities that Kent and Sussex coast offer: the beautiful beaches at Camber and Rye Harbour are great for children and for walking the dogs. Canterbury, with its mediaeval cathedral and excellent shopping, is only an hour away by car. Hastings, with its old town and ancient fishing museum is about 45 minutes by car.
The oast is well placed for visiting local gardens such as Great Dixter, Sissinghurst, Bodiam Castle, Leeds Castle as well as English vineyards: Chapeldown, Gusbourne and Hush Heath.
Ashford Designer Shopping Outlet is 30 minutes by car. The high speed train from nearby Ashford International takes you to London in only 35 minutes.
We are next door if you need any extra assistance during your stay.

AMAZING
We have just spent a great few days here. Despite the rubbish weather, we still had a great time and definitely plan to come back. The Oast was wonderful. Lots of thoughtful additional touches that made being away from home easy. The beds were comfortable, the bath was lovely and the garden is beautiful (our dogs loved exploring it and doing laps around the bush!) The area is great too with some great dog friendly pubs with amazing food. Thank you for a wonderful trip. We are so glad we stumbled across your beautiful Oast house.

Wonderful return to a favorite place
This is our second stay at Stone Green Oast, and it was just as nice this time as it was six years ago. The oast itself is a neat building, very comfortable inside, with everything one could want. Immaculately kept, everything works, beautiful view of the gardens, pleasant outside seating. Amanda and Andrew are perfect hosts, making us feel very welcome, and were always available in case of need. We hope to be able to return again soon.

Our wonderful stay
I would highly recommend a stay in this converted Oast. My partner, our dogs and I had a lovely time. Such a nice part of Kent, we didn't want to leave! Amanda's thoughtful touches made it even more special- we had homemade bread, red currant jelly and a cake for my partners birthday along with butter and milk. The oast was clean and tidy and there were some pretty walks around the area.

A brief visit. Very pleasant property, well furnished and fully equipped.
A shorter than expected stay, but good communication with the owner ensured we were all fully informed. The Oast is very well furnished with careful thought clearly given to design and creating a homely atmosphere. The location is well placed for access to Rye and various gardens, eg Great Dixter and Sissinghurst as well as Dungerness and further East along the coast.

Wonderful stay in a charming Oast House!
This was the best and most well equipped holiday rental we have experienced! The property itself was charming with a lovely garden in a nice village with many interesting places to visit nearby. The owner provided a very generous welcome pack including home baked bread and cake, and was more than helpful with suggestions of places to eat/visit etc. Wonderful to find such a nice holiday home that was pet friendly too….we will return!

We wanted to take our grandson on an Easter break, and the Oast was our perfect base. It was warm, welcoming and very clean. Everything was provided making our stay trouble free. We would not hesitate to book the Oast again. Amanda and Andrew were the perfect hosts.

A lovely cottage cleverly converted from an oast house and very tastefully decorated. It had everything we needed inside and outside. We enjoyed walking and cycling directly from the house and a short drive to visit several National Trust houses, gardens and castles .

An excellent stay in very comfortable oast house which was very well prepared. There was an abundance of extras from home made bread to little bathroom treats. Dogs made very welcome and there is a large completely private dog proof garden. Looking forward to visiting again.

We really enjoyed our stay there, exploring all the lovely sites around and always happy to return. The Oast House is a cosy, charming, clean and very well equipped holiday cottage offering everything you might need (and lots more).

Wonderful!
This converted Oast House is absolutely perfect! It has been beautifully converted, is very tastefully decorated, immaculately clean, and has absolutely everything you need for a holiday cottage. As others have said, it is the best, most comfortable place I have stayed in, it really is wonderful. A great deal of care and thought appears to have been put into making this just a lovely place to stay and with the fenced garden, very dog friendly as well. The surrounding countryside is lovely, and interesting places to visit nearby. We definitely want to visit again, and would thoroughly recommend.

Perfect get away
The Oast is immaculately presented and is the perfect family retreat.. Well situated to enjoy the Kent and Sussex coast and also exploring the 'Areas of Natural Beauty' while the National Trust site of Smallhythe Place is also a must visit . The welcome pack from Amanda was amazing with freshly baked bread and lots of local produce amongst the offerings. A perfect getaway!

A perfect stay in a wonderful oasthouse
We (= my wife Machteld, me and our Tollerdog Auke) had a perfect stay in the oasthouse in Stone-in-Oxney. The house and garden were very clean and well taken care off. The products that Amanda offered us were very welcome and agreeable!! The garden is really beautiful and very good enclosed for our dog to walk around. It was wonderful!!!!

5 star Oast House with a 5 star host 😀
Wow, such a beautiful property, and unusual. First impressions was cleanliness, everything you would need for your stay was covered. Also a quality feel to everything. You could tell Amanda thought about everything she put in the oast house, what holiday makers would need to make it a enjoyable stay. Also the extras was such a lovely touch, homemade bread and cake, milk, cheese and eggs plus much more , just amazing.

5 star stay
A delightful, well equipped, clean and comfortable cottage. There was a very warm welcome on arrival and the free range eggs, home baked bread and cake, plus other staple groceries was a lovely surprise. The owner has gone out of their way to ensure we had a lovely time while staying at Stone Green Oast. Its quirky conversion together with a pretty garden was very much in keeping with the local area. Lots to see and do in the immediate area, Rye is well worth a visit and is practically on the door step. Good places to eat including the Ferry Inn which is in walking distance from the cottage.

3 days in the Oast House
A very nice stay. Everything provided. We enquired about whether a cot and high chair were available and Amanda acquired both items new for us! She also gave us a swing for our daughter to borrow. Stair gate in place for the steep stairs. Agree also that it was pet friendly with bowl treats lead all provided, garden is secure for our dog. Would highly recommend

Great Oast, Great Holiday !!!!
Where should I start? The Oast is really a great cottage to spend a holiday. A great enclosed garden, also great for small dogs who like to go for a walk. The Oast is very special, with a very nice interior, and everything around is well maintained and clean. The welcome and interaction with Amanda and her husband was very warm. On arrival there was bread, cake, jam, butter and and in the kitchen. Simply great. Just a very nice holiday, always again.

A week away in beautiful Kent !
We had an absolutely wonderful stay in this lovely old Oast house, with our dog Lottie ! The accomdation was immaculate throughout, cleverly designed and converted and extremely well equipped. On arrival there was a welcoming array of home made cake, jam and bread alongside fresh milk, butter and locally made drinks in the fridge. The good sized garden was beautiful and safely enclosed for our dog. There were plenty of walks on the doorstep , and we found nearby Rye Harbour nature reserve a lovely place for a great day out for all of us. Amanda and Andrew were great hosts who were there for advice and made us feel very welcome.

Lovely Property
We had a lovely stay at the oast. The property was very clean with everything needed for a few days stay. The location is great for Camber, Rye and we did some nice walks. Unfortunately we encountered the water being cut off due to a burst water main but that was out of their control. We both slipped on the spiral staircase despite their being strips to prevent this on the bottom steps so beware of this when going down the stairs. Otherwise if was a nice break.

Dog Friendly Oast House Cottage
A lot of thought has gone into making this holiday cottage comfortable and dog friendly. We particularly enjoyed the pretty secluded garden and seating area. Our bedroom had patio doors opening out onto the garden, lovely and sunny first thing in the morning. Amanda supplied a welcome pack, which was very substantial, including some rather nice bottled apple juice. Bertie our poodle was also made very welcome, with spare dog bowls, leads etc. We visited The Ferry pub in Stone in Oxney, which served very good food and allowed our dog into the eating area. We had a trip on the Kent and East Sussex Steam Railway, once again, our dog was welcome. Would definitely stay again.

In one word: Perfect!
We had the most wonderful time in this cozy little oast. It‘s clean, tastefully furnished and equipped with everything you could possibly need. We were welcomed by incredibly friendly and helpful hosts and lovely goodies in the kitchen. Amanda and Andrew will go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and provide whatever is necessary for that. We had a little problem with the heating for a day, but were supplied with electrical radiators to tie us over until the next day Amanda could get hold of an engineer, who over the phone talked her through all necessary steps while she personally repaired the heating system. Successfully! And afterwards we even received a little basket with more goodies for the inconvenience, which was absolutely not necessary but very much appreciated. Amazing hosts! The area is beautiful and our dog loved the footpaths over the fields and through the vineyard as much as we did. The peace and quiet in that little village was heavenly! The Ferry Inn down the road or Black Lion Pub in Appledore have yummy food, Miss Mollet‘s tea room in Appledore is a must and the small store in Appledore is sufficient unless you are planning to purchase larger supplies - there‘s supermarkets in Tenterden, which is definitely worth a visit. And don’t miss out on Rye. A lovely beach is close in Camber Sands. Long story short - you will love it here!! We sure did. Thank you so much!
