The Oast House at Pekes

The Oast House was built in the mid-19th century for drying hops for the Beer brewing trade, it was converted in about 1911 into a comfortable summer house by Terence Bourke for his widowed mother Lady Mayo. Like most old Oasts, it has a special atmosphere, not least because the main rooms are round. It is approached up some old steps and along a pillared rose-clad pergola. It is a great favourite with our visitors. The comfortable downstairs accommodation includes: A quite large hall with coat The space Pekes Oast is part of our 'Distinctly Different' Pekes private estate, centred on its ancient Tudor Manor House, and including other picturesque buildings like this old double-Oast House. Guests at the Oast House can enjoy the private Spa hot tub in the garden near the house, and the heated indoor Swimming Pool (shared on a Rota system), children' play areas and Tennis Court, and stroll around and enjoy the extensive gardens and parkland. The Pekes estate, well away from any road, is set deeply into the very quiet and peaceful Sussex Weald farm lands (organic - no sprays), and has beautiful views across ancient unspoiled countryside. Beyond that there is the stunning coastline, the seaside towns, historic places like Battle and great houses and gardens. For children there are two nearby exciting adventure venues, as well as farms to visit, etc. East Sussex has great charm, and Pekes is very much part of that. The Oast House is at the side of the estate, is great for entertaining, is very peaceful and has lovely views across the countryside towards the South Downs. Guest access Guests have exclusive access to the whole house.
