The Retreat Space.

The interior is inspired by the vibrant colours of Australia and tropical jungle of Malaysia and it’s furnished to reflect our taste for the modern, mixed with oriental style - not your typically decorated oast.

Oast houses were originally built for drying hops when Kent farmers grew most of the hops for the British brewing industry. Unfortunately, most of the hops are now imported and 90%+ of oast houses have been converted into homes - with big spaces and high ceilings. You’ll find that the space here is well utilised.

We have a TV in the downstairs lounge and a wireless broadband connection. Bedrooms are deliberately kept free of TVs and other electrical wot nots to give your head space from the outside world. There’s an interesting library of books, funny DVDs and an eclectic mix of CDs available in the lounge.

Rooms you’ll find inside the oast:

Master Bedroom with mezzanine en suite bathroom: bath, toilet, twin hand basins

Two other bedrooms - the Pink and Blue rooms - which share a bathroom: shower, cast iron bath, hand basin, toilet and bidet.

Meditation/quiet room
