The reviews highlight the property's spaciousness and the presence of a games room, suggesting a comfortable environment. However, a suggestion for a curtain to prevent draughts indicates a slight room for improvement.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and enclosed garden. Points for improvement include outdoor lighting and a weighted parasol, as well as a mention of a possible wasp nest.

Also worth a visit are Rye Harbour Nature Reserve, Camber Sands and Camber Castle – this area of saltmarsh protects some very special wildlife, and footpaths lead to four birdwatching hides.

Further National Trust places to visit include Smallhythe Place, Scotney Castle and Bodiam Castle. Day trips to France are possible with the Channel Tunnel a mere 30-minute drive.

Thorndale oast was everything we wanted for our bank holiday weekend with the family. The children were happy playing in the garden and the games room. We all enjoyed just relaxing in a very quiet location. The only problem was we think there was a wasp nest in the tree on patio. Happy to return.
