Leacon Hall Oast The Leacon

Leacon Hall Oast is on our land, next to the main house. It's a round oast house conversion. It sleeps six, in three bedrooms. There are two bathrooms. It's got a 4 Star rating.

The main living room is in the round bit, which is unusual. The kitchen is a good size and leads out to the garden. It faces south, so it gets the sun. The garden is fully enclosed, so it's fine for a dog. We allow one.

You can see the fields from the upstairs windows. The master bedroom is in the round part too.

There are a few pubs serving food nearby. Hamstreet village is closest for basics. The Royal Military Canal path is good for walks.

The coast is about fifteen minutes by car. Rye is a short drive west. It's an old town with cobbled streets. Going the other way, Ashford has shops and the outlet. Canterbury is about half an hour. Whitstable is a bit further, maybe forty minutes.

The swimming pool here at the main house is heated. You're welcome to use it, just need to arrange a time with us.

My partner Patrick is a chef. If you don't want to cook, he can prepare meals for you to have in the oast. He gets fish from Dungeness and veg from the garden. You can also book to eat in our dining room in the main house, if you want a night out without driving.

Facilities: there's a washing machine, dishwasher, TV, WiFi. Bedding and towels are included. Parking is right outside. We've got a cot and highchair if needed.
