Offering countryside staycations for large groups in two delectable dwellings of a barn conversion and an accompanying annexe, Harbourne Oast is a welcoming base for groups of friends and families wishing to holiday together in this scenic area of Kent.

Resting on the outskirts of St Michael, these properties are ideal for those seeking a tranquil base, while never being far from the excitement.

Sitting amongst the owner’s working farm, step inside the main house of Harbourne Oast to find a spacious spot with brimming with exposed beams along with many other characterful features, making it a true delight of a dwelling.

Spend some time in the sitting room, relaxing amidst the woodburning stove in one of the many plush seating arrangements around the room with a good book in hand for a quiet evening indoors, or spend time all together around the dining table with a board game.

The dining table offers delightful views over your own pond through the floor-to-ceiling windows, making a wondrous backdrop to any celebratory occasion, with a hearty meal placed at the centre of the table with all the essentials of the kitchen assisting you on your self-catered stay.

Two of the bedrooms within the main property are uniquely round in shape, while the master king-size bedroom is accessed up its own staircase and has its own superb en-suite facilities; with two further king-size bedrooms, one being on the ground floor, alongside a double and a twin, you can ensure everyone has a snug spot to rest at the end of an action-packed day.

‘The Grannex’ also hosts an array of wonder, perfect for a couple to escape for some quiet quality time together.

The annexe boasts a glorious open-plan living space which is home to a kitchen area holding a modest selection of useful utensils to concoct a romantic meal for two to be enjoyed at the dining area at the centre of the room.

Snuggle down into the sofa at the end of your day with a classic film on the television, before retreating to the king-size bed to catch up on your rest ahead of your next fun-filled day back with all of the family.

Enjoy time together in the garden, with a pond at its centre encompassed by a large lawn, it’s a great spot to dine alfresco in the summer months.

The surrounding area of the property is idyllic and ideal for leisurely strolls to make the most of the natural settings of St Michaels, however slightly further afield you can find Ashford, a town full of excitement with a wide range of shops and eateries to explore, a museum explaining the enticing history of the area, a golf club, a play area and much more to entertain all ages.

Be sure to venture into the High Weald AONB to uncover spectacular scenery, with a plethora of pretty picnic spots to make the most of when you’re not dining in one of the delicious eateries near the cottage.
