Is Harbourne Oast Right For Your Group

Discover why this cottage is the one for your party or family reunion...

For Families
Children will love feeding the ducks and watching fish swim in the pond from the patio. The surrounding lawns provide space for outdoor games whilst the working farm setting offers authentic countryside experiences with animal sounds and sights. Two round bedrooms in the oast fascinate younger guests. The large kitchen table accommodates family meals together. Note that children must be supervised outside due to the unfenced pond.
Groups Will Love...
The two round bedrooms within the original oast structure stand out as truly special features. These circular rooms occupy the space where hops were once dried, retaining the authentic agricultural character. Exposed wooden beams curve overhead whilst the unusual shape creates a memorable sleeping experience. Combined with the master bedroom's en-suite accessed via its own staircase, the ground-floor king-size for accessibility and additional doubles, this converted oast house offers varied accommodation across its historic structure.
Pet Friendly
Harbourne Oast does not accept pets. The property sits on a working farm with an unfenced pond in the garden which presents safety concerns for dogs. The rural setting includes farm animals and open countryside. Whilst the location would suit dogs in theory, the specific site conditions mean pet owners should look elsewhere. The surrounding gardens and fields remain strictly pet-free to protect both visiting animals and the farm environment.
