“Sykes were there for any queries we had regarding the holiday.”

The house was amazing. Each bedroom had it's own big bathroom and plenty of equipment in the kitchen. Plus Sarah, the owner was lovely.

“The hop house exceeded our expectations and was much bigger than thought, offering everyone their own piece of heaven.”

Sarah (owner) communicated very well with us and offered a warm friendly welcome. The house was very clean, comfortable and inviting. We will be back............ Stunning! X

“Accommodation was excellent in every way.”

Nearby pub (10 minute walk) very friendly/good food. Location was perfect for access to central and north Kent. Fourteen of us stayed for the week and not a single complaint.

“This was one of the nicest houses we have ever stayed in.”

Very roomy, beautifully furnished and extremely well equipped. It is well placed for exploring a lovely county.

“Fabulous Stay in a Fabulous Property”

From start to finish, this holiday home exceeded our expectations, which were high to start with. The weekend was in celebration of our 40th wedding anniversary and had to accommodate three generations. The property has the wow factor immediately, and with seven en suite rooms from which to choose, each equally beautifully decorated and furnished, we avoided the usual bedroom-envy! The main open plan lounge/kitchen/diner on first floor has a lovely contemporary country feel. There is another lounge/diner and kitchen on ground floor leading out to garden. We had lots of garden fun and a bbq and the children liked using this room to rest or watch the obligatory Frozen on the tv. Sarah was the perfect host and we really appreciated the welcome basket and toys that had been left out for my grandchildren. My daughters are already planning a return visit, possibly for a family Christmas

“A fantastic facility for a big party - we were 10 adults, four children and three infants.”

The equipment was excellent and the rooms spacious and comfortable. As this is only the second year its been available everything was new and in good condition. The internet connection was excellent and well set up. We especially liked the big round table for meals all together. We were pleasantly surprised by the supplies the owner made available as we arrived - including a couple of bottles of wine - very welcoming! And the kids loved the bubble wands that appeared the day before we left - huge fun. Thank you Sarah for a lovely holiday.

“We had a brilliant week staying at the lovely Hop House.”

As said in another review, the pictures don't do justice to the size and condition of the house. Everything was beautifully clean and the kitchen equipment was plentiful (something we have struggled with in previous accommodation, being a group of 11) and good quality. The Wifi was reliable and worked throughout the house. We had some lovely days out during the week - would recommend the gardens at Doddington, a trip on the Sittingbourne and Kemsley Light Railway and we also had a brilliant day at Diggerland!

- Mrs Tyte, May 2018
“The Hop House is best described as a quite unique property which got the thumbs up from everyone in our group.”

Very spacious and all the ensuite bedrooms fitted in beautifully.It really could hardly be faulted and the owner Sarah was charming & most helpful.Would definitely recommend it.

- Mr Wikner, May 2018
“We had a great weekend.”

The rooms were bigger than expected, en suite bathrooms to all 7 bedrooms was wonderful. Very well equipped with china, cutlery, kitchenware etc. Spotlessly clean and so many interesting pictures, art works, sculptures etc. Would recommend it to any large group.

- Mrs Hutson, March 2018
“Fantastic place to stay”

Booked Hop House as a suprise for mums birthday as we needed to sleep 14 people. The house is beautiful, spacious and clean. 7 large bedrooms all ensuite and plenty of quiet spots to rest and relax. Would definitely recommend and book again.

The property

This fabulous oast house has been carefully and lovingly transformed by the owners, into a magnificent holiday home which will welcome up to fourteen guests, and is situated in the small hamlet of Oad Street in the heart of rural Kent.

Once widespread throughout Kent, these lovely oast houses are now becoming less common, making this the perfect opportunity for groups of friends, large families, and couples wanting to celebrate a special birthday or event, the chance to stay in luxurious and unusual accommodation.

Each of the seven bedrooms have been decorated and furnished to reflect its own individual style, with four of them positioned in the roundels giving them the feature curved walls.

All boast en-suite facilities, some having baths rather than showers, so if you are someone who enjoys a long, hot soak after a day exploring, then pour in the bath oil, lay back and relax!

Two of the bedrooms are on the ground floor and both have full-size wet rooms, so whether young or old, everyone can be accommodated here.

Both floors offer full-living accommodation.

The first floor, accessed via a splendid staircase, leads to the spacious open plan living area complete with a well-equipped kitchen and dining area seating up to 14 guests, perfect for enjoying long, lingering dinners with great company and delicious food and drink.

On the ground floor there is a large sitting room with a dining area and separate kitchen, from which guests can access the fully-enclosed garden, a delight from sunrise to sunset.

Just outside this luxury home are dozens of country paths to explore, leading over meadows and into woods, so lace up those walking boots and stride out to enjoy Kent at its finest.

Only a few minutes drive away is the Kent County Showground at Detling.

Here you will find events and exhibitions throughout the year, including the Kent County Show which is held over three days and includes displays of all forms of farming, foods and rural lifestyles.

Whatever your pleasures, interests or activities, this superb holiday home can offer a holiday with luxury and style whatever time of year.
