The Round Door Vineyard Cottage at Oastbrook

Charming Sussex Vineyard Stay

The Round Door Vineyard Cottage is nestled deep in the heart of the Rother Valley. Furthermore it’s only a short walk from Bodiam Castle and in the midst of our Sussex vineyard. Nestled seamlessly into the natural curve of a hillside and surrounded by vineyard views, The Round Door Vineyard Cottage is a cozy, earth sheltered retreat straight out of a storybook. The house appears as though it has been cradled by the earth itself, harmoniously blending with the surrounding landscape.

Every window and terrace becomes a frame for the ever-changing tapestry of nature, from dawn’s first light to the fiery hues of sunset.

Inspired by classic fantasy dwellings and old world countryside charm, this unique hideaway features a signature round door, warm natural textures and a peaceful connection to the land. Every detail is designed for comfort, romance and a sense of stepping into a slower, simpler world.

Built with a deep respect for the land, every brick, beam, and tile tells a tale of the region’s rich heritage. Local craftsmen, with generational knowledge passed down, were entrusted with bringing this architectural dream to life.

Employing indigenous materials sourced right from the heart of the valley, they ensured that the house is both a testament to artisanal skill and a sustainable vision.

The result is more than just luxury accommodation—it’s an immersive experience where tradition meets elegance, offering guests a genuine feel of the locale’s spirit and charm.
