Our stay at Sotine Beach House was a great success. The house had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable, tv room great for the children to sit and watch on their own, kitchen very well equipped. The children loved the hot tub, which was maintained every day, and they loved the play room. Well situated for the sandy beach and some lovely local attractions.we would love to visit again.
Great location!! Shepherds hut fully equipped and well thought out, even has a picnic basket and blanket. Host is super friendly and helpful. Easy access to local community, walks, cycle tracks through beautiful forests with picnic spots along the way. Safe environment and free parking a short walk from the accommodation. Braai (barbecue) and fire pit. As SAFFA’s was great to sit around the fire under the stars braaing marshmallows. Thanks for an awesome stay.
We arrived at the Potting Shed at sunset. The lights were on inside and it looked magical. We loved the place immediately. The house is very cozy and provides everything you need from self-catering accommodation. Walkers can plan their routes directly from the farm or with just a short drive have plenty of other options. There were several little things that added to the overall feeling of being welcome. The fridge was stocked with locally produced milk and butter. There was a little basket with eggs and hot chocolate. On clear nights the patio around the house is great for star gazing. We...more
The property and gardens are beautiful and from the moment we arrived, we started to relax. Thank you to the owner for being so helpful and we would definitely stay again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I sent my parents here for a birthday getaway. It was perfect. Even the extras left for them, milk, wine, crisps etc - not many places do that anymore! Gorgeous decor, great instructions to find, a real gem of a find!!!
Beautifully presented historic building, rural location, personal touches. Made me feel very special!
2 families, 4 adults and 4 kids had a brilliant stay. There was plenty of sleeping space, bathrooms and a brilliant large kitchen table to eat and play games on. The hot tub was a real hit, and the fire pit at the end of the garden was great for toasting marshmallows. Location was excellent for walking to the beach, high street and to Waitrose along the peaceful canal. Would highly recommend!
Perfect place for the perfect getaway! We absolutely loved the cabin and enjoyed every minute of our stay. It was equipped with absolutely everything we needed, and the owner was the sweetest. We can’t wait to be back!
We had a team of 5 people working in Ashford for 5 weeks. They stayed at Lacton Manor Barns for the entire job. The accommodation was very comfortable, well maintained and made a great 'home away from home'. The hosts were also very helpful and easy to work with. We will definitely look at returning again next year.
We had a wonderful stay here. We stayed with our three children and their grandad. The barn was great for all ages. Beautifully decorated and very peaceful. Highly recommend.
Can we stay one more day? That was what we were all saying the morning of our final day at Springhill. It was the most wonderful weekend, a gathering of my friends and family as a post-wedding 'hen-do' celebration. The house is so unique in the most beautiful setting, gorgeous views from every room. I remember sitting in the sauna watching a sheepdog round up the sheep through the window! Beautiful. It is the home of an interior designer and has a warm and inviting aura - much like the lovely home owner Danielle who gave us a tour when we arrived. It felt like a privilege to be trusted w...more
We loved every single thing in this place. Everything was so well thought and clean. The jacuzzi was a great bonus!
Our multi-generational family getaway to Camber Sands was wonderful, and Duneland was the perfect home base. We were immediately struck by the architecture and decor—the way the house frames those stunning sand dune views is beautiful. A special thank you to the owners, Anna and John, for being so attentive. They reached out both before and during our stay to ensure we were comfortable and to quickly answer any questions we had; their kindness really made our trip feel special. The house was a huge hit with the kids, who loved the hot tub and board games, while we appreciated how well-...more
We had an absolutely fantastic stay from August 14th to August 21st! We were deeply impressed by how beautiful the accommodation is. Nothing was missing, and we felt right at home from the very first moment. If we had one small suggestion, it would be to consider adding fly screens to the bedroom windows so guests can leave the windows open a bit during the night. Other than that, everything was perfect and met all our expectations! We will definitely be back. Best regards, Timo & Caro
East cottage is so beautifully stylish and simple in its interior decor, yet homely and relaxing. It had everything we needed to wind down, cook, bathe, watch movies and shut out the world. We had a wonderful stay surrounded by the unique and atmospheric landscape of Dungeness.
We stayed in Chequers in Rye for my son’s wedding at Rye Town Hall. The location was perfect, just along the road. The house is beautiful and has everything you could want. This has very happy memories for us all
We enjoyed Motor House Loft very much. Everything needed was available, everything was clean and well maintained. The flat has a generous size that fits easily for four. Outside is a small porch where you can enjoy the day (or the evening, even under a heat lamb!). Both, the eating area and the living area are very comfortable. The kitchen ("corner") has a very good size for preparing and cooking meals. From the Loft, there are many venues reachable within 30 mins. The next bigger supermarkets are in Tenterden and Hastings (both about 30 mins away). For the dailys, there is a small Morrisson's...more
This garage conversion has been thoughtfully and cleverly set up. The location is excellent for the beach and under 10 mins walk to the town’s shops and restaurants. Good and clever little kitchen set up with more than you are likely to use (e.g. small air fryer and twin hot plates). Excellent shower.
Twelve of us had a lovely stay at Nares House. Everything was provided for our stay. The bedrooms were large and most of them had lovely views over the gardens. The location was very peaceful and the gardens were a great addition. The children had a great time chasing each other up and down the two staircases. It was a bonus that we could all sit comfortably round the table in the dining room. We had a great day out at Rye and a lovely meal out at The Globe Inn Mash in Rye. On Sunday we spent the day at Dymchurch and had great fish and chips at Beach 48.
We spent four nights at Brook Lodge Farm. It’s a beautiful house in a superb location. It had everything we wanted for a short stay and was perfect for us. Highly recommended.
It was the perfect house and we had an amazing stay. After a little blip you and your team were helpful and communication was good. The house had everything we could wish for. If we were going to make a comment it would be that there was no towel in the downstairs loo and no towel rails in the bathrooms. This hardly spoilt our stay but thought it was worth a mention. Will definitely return. Thank you.
We (family of 5, three kids under 10) stayed at New England in May half term. It was absolutely wonderful - the whole family loved it! The house is very nicely done-up and kitted out with everything you would need; and the garden is simply glorious. There is lots to do nearby including some lovely walks from the front door. We had a great time and would definitely return (our kids have already asked to do so)!
A luxury cottage in a beautiful setting. Tastefully furnished with a pretty garden. Unfortunately the countryside setting wasn’t that peaceful as sporadically two very loud men were working on restoring some vintage double decker buses in the adjoining barn - language and diesel fumes not so welcome.
We recently booked this barn complex for a hen weekend, and overall it was a fantastic choice for a group celebration. The setting is beautiful—peaceful, scenic, and perfect for getting away from it all while still having plenty of space to relax and socialise. The accommodation itself was ideal for a larger group. The communal areas were spacious enough for everyone to gather comfortably, whether for meals, games, or just catching up. The bedrooms were well laid out, giving a good mix of shared and private spaces, which worked really well for our group dynamic. Having access to a swimmi...more
Our stay was just perfect in every way (yes!....lucky enough to have fabulous weather too!) Even more lovely than expected and so peaceful with stunning views from bedrooms and lounge/large lounge balcony. Beautifully designed with a fresh nautical theme but not over 'done'. Spacious, airy and beautifully positioned for Sandgate to Hythe one way and Folkestone the other
A lovely, well renovated barn in a beautiful location. It was so quiet and peaceful and was well designed with exposed beams. It was nice to be able to sit out on the deck in the evening. A well equipped kitchen and even treats for our dog. The owner checked in on us shortly after arrival to make sure we'd settled in. We've already recommend it to friends and family.
We stayed at here for a hen weekend. As the organiser the booking process was great and any questions were quickly answered. The rooms were all very clean and the beds were comfy. The kitchen was a great size and was used by a booked chef who also had positive feedback. We used a taxi service to go into Canterbury, which is about a 30 min drive. I would say you definitely need to either have your own be holes or use taxis due to the location. But we loved that were were out in the countryside.
This was our third visit to Bushes Oast which speaks volumes.The property is spacious, well furnished and really comfortable. We do cook nearly all our meals in the kitchen which is really well equipped, so we did notice the scales had a low battery. Minor but inconvenient. Jan and her husband, however, appeared very quickly to sort them out. We return because their standards are so high and because of the utter peace and tranquillity of the location.
We had an amazing week at Plumcot Halt: * Accommodation was modern, comfortable, exceptionaly clean & had everything you needed for self-catering. The garden area is beautiful, & tranquil. * Hosts are the most welcoming, friendly & helpful couple that you could ever wish to meet, nothing is too much trouble should you need to ask for hints & tips on the local area, while at the same time making you feel like you're staying in your own private little world. * The location is quite & great for exploring Canterbury & everything around it. * We wouldn't hesitate in recommending & we wou...more
I stayed for one night at Channel View and we had a lovely time. Sonia and Lee were very accommodating and let us check in early and check out late. The Prosecco and snacks on arrival were a great touch to go with our time spent in the hot tub. I would definitely stay here again!
A Great time at the seaside with an wonderful view. The house offers everything you need. There is so much to discover
The View at Shoreline is an abselutely luxurious holiday experience. Beautiful location on the beach with the most gorgous view. The house has a modern interior and really lovely decorated. Well equipped with all facilities. We needed some days to relax, and this place was perfect for a calm and slowpaced holiday break. Several beautiful places for walking. The bars and restaurants at the harbour is close and really nice. We can really recommend this place and would love to come back! We came all the way from Norway to visit, we now have about 100 pictures of this stunning place by the sea :)
The Coach House was a great place to stay. The house was extremely well equipped and the garden was a real joy to be in with so many games available that we didn’t have time to play with them all. Our family get together ranged in ages from 80 to 10 years in ages and was enjoyed thoroughly by everyone. There were really helpful notices and information which had been really thought through. Our congratulations and thanks to the owners: Brian and Sarah
The sunsets directly in front of the cabins were stunning, with the landscape constantly changing throughout the evening. There was a wonderful sense of calm as the world slowly darkened and it was time to settle in for the night. The children loved being outdoors, relaxing, exploring nature and playing freely. Feeding the lambs was an added treat and a lovely seasonal experience. The location is perfect for enjoying the countryside, with beautiful walks on the doorstep, BBQs over open wood fires, and the beach less than ten minutes away for scenic coastal strolls. The huts petit yet ...more
Three generations of our family just spent a week together at Merryweather and we all loved it. It was a well equipped house, very clean, stylish, and comfortable, with lots of areas to relax in. The garden was delightful, with views over the adjoining orchards and the countryside beyond, very peaceful. Harbledown is close to the centre of Canterbury and within easy reach of Faversham, Whitstable, Fordwich and several vineyards etc, so there was plenty to do and see. We booked through Bloom Stays who were helpful and professional.
The house was really spacious and clean. The pictures are all accurate and we really enjoyed our stay. The hosts are extremely welcoming and friendly too! Thank you
Lovely cottage in a good location just outside of Rye. Clean, well kept and well equipped for 2 families.
The Gate house is idyllic, absolutely beautiful. The host, Ange was so friendly and welcoming. I felt blessed to have found this property and will definitely try to book again !
The location is unique, the house is a work of art and we had an amazing stay. Have been before and will certainly return.
Kristina has thought of everything! There are so many nice little details and every amenity you could think of. Plenty of hot water and logs for the fire pit. It's a unique stay to be surrounded by sheep and lambs in a picturesque location. We were even given the opportunity to feed the lambs ourselves!
Perfect house for family stay. Excellent layout and facilities - all bedrooms with en-suite. Outside kitchen great for BBQ’s and hot tub enjoyed by all. Direct access to dunes and beach made it easy to have fun with the family by the sea. Would thoroughly recommend.
We stayed for a few days in the Hayloft and would highly recommend. The decor is tasteful throughout and the master bedroom has a thoroughly relaxing feel. All beds are very comfortable. It proved to be the perfect place for my wife and I to relax for a few days with our children (toddler and baby). We didn’t need to call on our hosts to help with anything but I’m certain they would had been available and quick to help with anything. Spending time in the hot tub in what feels like your private patch of countryside was a highlight.
I celebrated my 60th Birthday and this amazing farm house and me and my guests were all blown away with the place. The social space and pool are amazing and just what we wanted to best enjoy ourselves. Weather was kind for a September stay and the pool nice and warm too. All was well provisioned and the wonderful welcome pack was also well received. I would highly recommend this wonderful farm house for any such large family.friend gathering. Well done to all and thanks you for giving us the opportunity to stay in touch and amazing property.
At the end of our vacation to UK we decided to spend the last two nights here. We had a large group with several adults and children. Everyone was very comfortable and many people in the group commented that this was the highlight of their trip. Wonderful, relaxing stay, comfortable accommodations, and friendly host.
Stayed here for a night and wish it was longer. Beautiful clean place with an extremely comfortable bed. Will definitely be back. Thankyou to the hosts x
Beautiful location very peaceful, slept soundly very relaxing place to stay. On the website it states we would be getting a welcoming bottle of wine from local company, we got a bottle of Apple juice instead, we were looking forward to sitting outside with a glass of wine the Apple juice though very nice not quite the same. All other items listed as little extras were there yummy marsh mellows and delicious granola, tea and coffee. We paid for a breakfast the bacon, sausage and eggs were very good quality good value for money. The only other comments are the shower mat needs replacing as grubb...more
The Old Postoffice is a nice location for a perfect holiday with the whole family. The kitchen is very well stuffed with all you need. We lived most of the time outdoors, a very beautiful garden and surrounding. We used the dining room ones, because of the heavy wind outside, it is a nice place to be. The beds are very good and the children had their own cosy bedroom. We enjoyed our stay very much.
My girlfriends and I recently stayed at The Willows a special occasion and we could not have picked a more perfect venue. It was lovely and private and secluded and it was so comfortable and cosy that it felt like our own! Any queries I had leading up to our stay were promptly responded to and all our needs were met. Definitely recommend!
We stayed at this house between Christmas and New Year 2024/5 and had a wonderful stay. The house is very well equipped for a family and the location is brilliant. Thank you for hosting us - we hope to be back!
We had an amazing stay this weekend, and Bloom Stays with Sandra truly made the experience exceptional. The house was even better than the photos—beautiful, spacious, and incredibly luxurious. Everything was spotless, which immediately made us feel comfortable and at home. You can tell a lot of care goes into maintaining this property. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a top-tier stay and would happily return.
Beautiful, luxurious, fully equipped holiday home which is needed since it is quite a remote property the bonus is the wonderful space and views Not sure that Bloom communicated with owner since they didn’t answer a couple of my queries correctly which was annoying
Great spacious house in a beautiful part of the countryside. Very well equipped and well presented. Perfect for our family needs. The heated pool was a bonus. We are considering booking again!
The property was absolutely amazing with a definite ‘wow’ factor. The views are spectacular. This property is by far the best we have experienced. The owner, Steve, was really helpful and local people in the area were very friendly and welcoming. It was a fantastic holiday. We will definitely be looking to book again in the near future.
This really is a lovely property in a great location. We booked this for 2 weeks for both work and to be near family, it is in a lovely quiet location to relax and unwind and is beautifully equipped throughout. No idea where the WiFi is but it had a very low connection speed making it very hard and sometimes impossible to work on Teams, we also had the same issues with the smart TV connections to Netflix and Amazon where it would keep freezing due to connection issues. The very low sofas were a struggle as we are not young anymore and they were very low to the ground making it hard to get ...more
Our break at The Loft was perfect from beginning to end. Access was simple, the apartment felt secure and peaceful. Great location to everything in the city. It was very well equipped, the kitchen had everything you needed, seating in the lounge was very comfortable. The beds were super comfy and both of the bathrooms had super showers.
We loved our stay at the Castle Cottage. The cottage was even better than the photos showcased. The historic fittings and decor of the house was incredible charming. Paired with a large dining area and updated kitchen, it was a fantastic combination of old world charm and modern convenience. The cottage was close to central Canterbury, the train station and some delightful shops and restaurants. It's central location meant it was quite loud in the evening with passers by, but things quieted down by 11pm or so. I will note that the stairs are quite steep and this would not be a good fit for any...more
The house and amenities were amazing - studiously clean, comfortable, and very well turned out. The house is tastefully decorated to a high quality, and the hot tub and garden space is lovely. Cornhole is a great bonus! The beach hut is a brilliant advantage - so lovely, and the perfect place to relax and watch the amazing sunsets. Highly recommended.
The cottage was spotless, well looked after and had everything you could need. We loved aour stay! Easy to find. Walking distance to the famous Fish Shack and pub.
The Nest is very comfortable, well equipped and cosy. It is in an amazing location, our Labrador loved the garden and he was safe as it was well enclosed. We sat in the garden many evenings enjoying the atmosphere and popping up to the sea wall to look at the stunning view. Everything was provided to make your stay easy and relaxing, with a bottle of wine on arrival. A very relaxing holiday, will definitely book again.
The cottage had everything you needed for a short break, was well kept, clean and with very good facilities. Towels and bedding were of very good quality. Personally we found the bed a bit too narrow. But no other problems. Just to mention to the cleaning team, the recycling container was already full when we left.
South beach is a lovely ground floor flat.Really well decorated with lovely seaside theme and well,appointed kitchen. It really is yards from the sea( although there is no view of sea from windows)..but you are so close that you can pop out to the seafront within 3 minutes..catch the sunrise or sunset. Parking is easy on South Road.Lovely walk to Hythe town through park opposite house,via Ladies Walk and the canal. Great 4/5 mile walk or cycle all along sea to Folkestone, via Sandgate.Hythe town has lots of lovely hidden corners behind the high street. Waitrose easy to walk to..and bus s...more
Beautiful property. Superbly equipped and with magnificent coastal view. We loved gazing out to sea. Don’t hesitate, book it!
We booked the barn for my friend’s hen do, and it was absolutely perfect. Everyone was blown away, we all had the best time. Thank you so much!
We had an absolutely amazing time at The Romney!! The hut was beautiful and cozy, and the outdoor bath is a great addition. It has everything you could need and we were kindly left with lots of amenities which was lovely to arrive to! The local area was beautiful and there were lots of things to do. Kristina was so kind and friendly, making sure we could easily get in contact if needed and that we had a lovely time, which we absolutely did. We would 100% come back!
One of the best cottages we ever booked. Location: quiet and well placed for day trips Wonderful garden Nice people
Dairy Barn is a great countryside retreat, a good place to relax and switch off. The setting is peaceful and private, with beautiful views across the valley, which can also be seen from the hot tub. Inside, the barn is stylish, cosy and very comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen, a lovely sitting area and an excellent shower. The welcome basket was very extensive and made for more than one extravagant breakfast. The EV charge point right outside the door is a real plus for us. I would happily recommend and return to.
The property was an absolute gem. It provided a very relaxing holiday. The owners were very attentive to ensure a smooth check in.
Very nice apartment, amazing sea views and just wonderful all round. Comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen and great outdoor space too. The view was just outstanding
Three families with 14 adults and 1 child stayed for a Bank holiday weekend and it was perfect for our needs. Very friendly customer service from John. We had glorious weather which meant we could use the tennis court, swimming pool (it was just about warm enough) and the outdoor terrace for dining. The rooms are bigger than pictured and very clean. We could have stayed longer.
We stayed at The Bull Pen for a second time, this time for a full week, and had a great time. The property is equipped with everything needed and looks even better than the photos. The location is idyllic with a lovely garden and beautiful farm setting - our children absolutely loved seeing all of the adorable lambs and so did we! Highly recommend and we intend to book again. Car essential.
Beadles was the perfect venue for a multigenerational (11 years to 90 years of age) Easter break. The house has lots of character and plenty of area for a spot of quiet reading, when you want a bit of down time. The lounge area with open fire had plenty of space for everyone to gather, the dining room is perfect for family meals and the kitchen is large and well equipped for catering for a large group. The house was very clean, warm and well maintained. Garden was huge and would be ideal on a sunny day for relaxing. Perfectly placed near to a beach and on a private estate, which ensured nights...more
Excellent property, well stocked with kit, super peaceful location we really couldn't have asked for more.
Prachtige locatie verborgen in een zijstraatje in het hart van Hastings. Ingericht als een van de interieurbladen. Je zou er zo blijven wonen. Uitzicht prachtig. Parkeren is in heel de oude stad lastig maar een paar minuten omhoog lopen heb je vrije parkeerplekken.
This is the 2nd time we've stayed here so we obviously enjoy it. The location is great, right in the center of town just off High St. One huge advantage of this place is that it has off-street parking which makes life very easy if you have a car since parking can be an issue in Hythe. The house itself is over 3 floors and has lots of space for everyone to either go to their room or hang out in the living area. It also has a washer and separate dryer which most places don't have and is a big plus for me. It's always very clean and we're already planning our next stay there.
Great place for a family getaway - plenty of seating with a big kitchen and dining room table. Close to Folkestone. BBQ needs replacing, leg broken and not big enough for 12 people to use.
We particularly enjoyed the yard, facing woodland. The owner was friendly. We did use the buses (stops not too far) as well as the car to visit this part of the beautiful county of Kent. Notwithstanding the literal meaning of self-catering, we would usually nowadays expect to find essential toiletries in the bathroom and some sort of welcome pack in the kitchen of food and drink items, but that wasn't the case here. Perplexing very detailed inventory in the information book, including the 'decorative' items....
Sea Spay is simply a fabulous place to stay. The location is perfect, with unrivalled views across the Channel from the cottage and its lovely patio. The cottage is extremely comfortable and well equipped, with a stylish nautical theme throughout. We particularly appreciated the thoughtful touches, including cushions and blankets for sitting outside and enjoying the sea views. Even the powerful shower has a wonderful view out to sea! There was plenty of helpful information about the local area, too. It is the perfect place either to relax and enjoy the immediate surroundings or to use as...more
Emma is very kind and it was a pleasure to meet her. the house is very cosy and we spent lovely holidays. thabnks a lot
Great accommodation in a lovely spot - or third visit!! We're planning on another stay next summer. You can't keep us away!
Finding a house big enough for a weekend family gathering of 8 adults, 6 children and one dog was a proving a struggle until we discovered Waters Edge. The property was big enough to accommodate us with space to spare. The huge kitchen lends itself to entertaining and the view of sun up from the master bedroom was stunning. A garden gate into the dunes really does take you to Waters Edge. A good option for any big group, with golf and a heritage railway close by.
This was our second stay at Little Oyster and I hope it won't be our last. It's perfectly situated in the middle of Whitstable just moments from the shops, restaurants and beach, yet the location is incredibly quiet, especially at night. Although there is no dedicated parking for the house, free parking is easily found on residential streets just 2 minutes walk away so we tend to pay to park in the carpark opposite for an hour to unpack the car and then move it. The house itself is very spacious and stylishly decorated. It's feels cosy yet manages to stay very cool, even in hot weather. It...more
The house itself was beautiful, spacious and in a fantastic location, and overall we enjoyed our stay. However, the lift was not working, which was a significant inconvenience in a five-storey property. There were also a few maintenance details that needed attention, including an air-conditioning unit box left in a wardrobe and a loose towel rail in the ground-floor toilet, which had already fallen off when we arrived. With these issues resolved, it would be an excellent place to stay.
Perfect Place to stay and perfect location to explore Kent and Sussex.Beautiful and comfortable house.A home from home.
We had a fantastic stay at Blackham Farm. We hosted a family holiday with ages from 85 to 3 and everyone enjoyed themselves at the house. The property was spotless and really well kitted out including great quality bathroom products, towels and bedding. The swimming pool became the centre of the holiday and was enjoyed by everyone! Bloom looked after us well and were very communicative. Would definitely stay again.
Celebrating an early Thanksgiving, we wanted a house where our friends could come together, hang out, eat well and make the best of the Kent countryside. At Lower Standen Farmhouse we were all to do and enjoy all of these things. The house has been beautifully restored with the prize going to the wonderful kitchen/dining room. Surrounded by glass overlooking the lush garden, the views and colours are an ever-changing joy with the underfloor heating meaning that we spent most of our time here. No lonely feelings for our chef ..... she probably had more help this year than ever before! Bedrooms ...more
The Appartment is beautyful an the Seaview ist lovley. We enjoyed every day! If we ever return to folkestone we would look for the very same appartment. However we also notices some minor Troubles: The balcony door already needs fixing and the handle is quite corroded. Also: Cooking prooved challenging: Only one Pot and a few frying Pans ... we bought whisk and Spatula ourselves. Only four Sets of Cutlery made it hard to get over even one day without washing the dishes. A broom for cleaning out the sand every morning would also have been appreciated. Anyway: Thanks for the help w...more
We very much enjoyed our stay and our only complaint was that the blinds are too light so we woke up so early
We loved staying here - it was wonderful - really lovely place, plenty of space, both in and out - Lucy was fantastic as well. Couldn't recommend it any higher
Wow what a fabulous cottage. We ve been coming to Sandgate to stay with friends for 30 years. This year was a surprise birthday party . I’ve always seen this row of cottages on my walks by the sea and was determined to stay in one as it’s such an idyllic spot. It was absolutely perfect in every way. We will definitely be staying here again . ❤️
We stayed at Custom House in Faversham Kent for a week in august. A group of extended family who live all over the country, the house provided ample space for us all to relax and catch up. The Dining space was perfect for group teas and the garden was perfect for relaxing and for the dogs and littles ones to run around in! We felt sofa chairs would be a more comfortable option for the TV room. Great to have a double oven and large hob, however the electric did keep tripping causing cooking time to slow. Could also do with another fridge with 18 adults staying in the house. The bedrooms w...more
We enjoyed the stay in this wonderful cottage very much. The owners are very friendly. We found bread, eggs and orange juice provided by the owners.
Loved everything about Vine Cottage. It is in a great location if you want to walk and explore. Close to Bridge, Csnterbury for dining and shopping. Beds were so comfy with lovely duvets, kitchen is well equipped with everything and it was great to have supplies of washing pods, dishwasher tabs. Spent a lot of time relaxing in the garden which is very private. Lots of birdsong which added to the ambience of this fab find.
Radar is a wonderful, comfortable place. It offers a fantastic view over the beach, we had sunny days throughout but I think it would be just as impressive whatever the weather. We had just 2 nights but to just arrive, park up and not get in the car again until departure was blissful.
North Vats gated garden made our stay very enjoyable. The views from every window and door were stunning. Its location adjacent to the lifeboat station made for interesting watching especially as at the time of our stay was filming going on for a promotional film for the RH& D railway. This is our fourth stay on Dungeness so we are already sold on the location, the Fish Shack and the peaceful and still nights. We found the mezzanine bedroom to be stuffy during our stay and the rooflight didn’t help with ventilation. This was in late August after the extreme heat. We liked North Var, parti...more
Found this place fairly last minute and couldn’t believe what a little gem it was. Gorgeous surroundings, an oasis of calm. We had a lovely stay.
We had a lovely stay in Dungeness and it was a great opportunity to properly disconnect from London, particularly during the heat. The location is fantastic, with plenty of opportunities for long beach walks and great food, and having the Snack Shack right across the road was a real bonus. Our only minor gripe was that, despite requesting and arranging a high chair and travel cot in advance, neither was there when we arrived. When the first travel cot was delivered, it was unfortunately covered in what can only be described as bird poo! This was dealt with very well and promptly by the host...more
This is a cracking cute little cottage in a very peaceful location. Yes it is down a track but any standard car will be fine, just don't bring the Ferrari. 4 adults really would be a squeeze as the upstairs loo/shower room is tiny, but for 2 adults it was perfect. Central location in Kent made it first class for exploring all over the Eastern part of the county. We had a fab time!
Me and my family had the most wonderful stay, to the point we added and extra day and still didn't want to leave. Me my wife and 3 children loved! And we will be 100% be coming back, thank you have having us.
This was our second stay at Dormestone Farm as an extended family. The first visit in January 2022 was excellent - a midwinter weekend away to celebrate a big birthday. Log fires, indoor games, excellent cooking facilities and cosy lounges, punctuated by outdoor walks and visits to the local pub. But the most recent in June 2026 was even better - with longer days (and a heatwave) we were able to make full use of all the excellent outdoor facilities - pool, tennis court, barbecue, extensive grounds and stunning views. We celebrated my wife's and my 50th wedding anniversary with our 2 d...more
Our extended family of 12 (6 adults and 6 children) had a wonderful stay at the Canterbury Barn. The barn is beautifully decorated, with lots of space and stunning views of the Kent countryside. The children loved the hot tub and there was lots of room for them to play and run around. It was easy to get into Canterbury and the local areas. Thank you!
This was our first of hopefully many visits and we loved the whole vibe x The bed was so comfortable and we had a wonderful time x
Oh dear. El Ray is just so wonderful. If it had two bathrooms, it would be almost perfect. And there’s so much space to do this. But the BIG issue is that the glass doors are impossible. We just managed to open the only working window a little. We were there when temperatures were sky high and the thought of being able to open up the house made us book …….but it was impossible. As to recommending to others, we would but only if there are 2+ strong people. Such a shame.
We really enjoyed our stay at Cornerways in Canterbury. The Location with the closeby park and the short distance to the city center was just perfect. We also liked the nice garden area in the back of the House - just perfect for a cup of coffee in the morning or playing cards in the evening. The apartment was very clean and well equipped - we had everything we needed for our family holiday. We are looking forward to coming back!
The Wicket is an extremely comfortable, clean and well maintained house. Everything was in great condition and felt luxurious but comfortable and homely. Lovely peaceful location with the sea just minutes away. You do have to walk further for Viking Bay or short drive to Margate beach, but on balance we felt it was worth it for the spacious house and garden and driveway for parking! It was only a short stay but we would love to come back again.
We had a lively stay in a nice cottage. Well garden around it and nice walks. We loved it all. Good bed, very well shower. We love to come back. Road to the cottage is bumpy, and you need a higher car.
A lovely weekend for my 40th with close friends. The host was lovely and you could tell she wanted us to have a great time. Spent most of the weekend in the house/pool. Lots of facilities to use. A short walk to the high street. I’d defo recommend and looking for an excuse to go back myself!
We’ve just returned from our second stay at Bunny Cottage in Saltwood, and once again, it was absolutely wonderful. Coming back felt like visiting an old friend—warm, familiar, and full of charm. The cottage is just as delightful as we remembered: beautifully kept, cozy, and thoughtfully furnished. Everything is spotless and well-equipped, making it easy to relax and feel at home. Saltwood itself is a lovely village, and Bunny Cottage is the ideal base to explore the surrounding countryside and coast. It’s rare to find a place that feels so welcoming and special, which is why we didn’...more
Wonderful first impression on driving up to the property, location was perfect for a bit of 'me' time. Struck lucky with the weather and was able to sit outside a lot of the time, enjoying the birds, of which there were plenty, including a sparrowhawk that sat on the fence and shocked the socks off me, closest I'd ever been to one, a special moment. Garden was in Autumn mode, so a bit bare, which is only to be expected, apples all over the place which probably came down in the high wind a few days before but I managed to salvage quite a few so they weren't wasted. They were truly delicious too...more
The Pump Station is a beautifully designed home. High end cooking/dishwasher facilities and designer pots/pans/crockery and cutlery. The kitchen is fully equipped for dining and even baking should you wish. Unusually for a holiday home the cooking knives were sharp and there was salt/pepper and oil. The overall feel of the place is: wow! However it is looking a bit tired in places and some areas need refreshing and the mattresses could be better; though that doesn't detract from how lovely the place is and how great the views are, big skies and fantastic horizons
We had a very nice time in Kent/ Faversham. The Kennels is a very lovingly furnished place, nothing missing, very comfortable and with a nice big garden. We felt very comfortable there. ….and the weather was sunny and warm☀️
What a unique beach house, it was just perfect spending a week with my adult children and granddaughter (almost 3). Loved the food goodies on arrival; nice touch. It was very, very clean and well equipped, although could have done with more work surfaces in the kitchen, cooking a family meal was a bit challenging. Having a washing machine needs to be clearer on the house profile, I called Bloom to ask if there was one, and they said, there wasn’t, but there was one (which was great) but would have been good to know before we arrived especially when packing for a little one. Bed linen lovely cr...more
What a fabulous place! Communication before arrival was great, providing everything we needed for a self check in. We were early so were foreced to sample a pint in the bar which was great - really good atmosphere in there. Once in th e accomodation, we didn't leave or speak to another human! We were blessed with beautiful weather and had brought enough supplies with us. The view is fantastic, and I spent hours on the deck just chilling out. The accomodation was perfect for two. Clean and beautifully decorated. The bathroom was lovely!
Had a lovely stay this weekend for my sister's hen party. Beautiful house with lovely views, perfect for our group. Easy to get taxis to Canterbury for a night out and a great base for cooking food and relaxing. Would recommend ear plugs if you are a light sleeper as floorboards are quite creaky but don't let that put you off.
We stayed at The Pilgrim on Saturday. Overall, the accommodation itself was lovely, but there were a few things I feel are worth mentioning. Unfortunately, the shower was freezing cold, which was particularly disappointing. The TV also didn’t work, and we couldn’t find a hairdryer anywhere. We have stayed in several different accommodations and I would normally always pack my own hairdryer, but on this occasion I assumed there would be one provided, so I was surprised when there wasn’t. On arrival, Lucy was incredibly welcoming, and we really enjoyed chatting with her about the brewery. ...more
A wonderful cosy, quirky cottage, deep in the Kent countryside. Ideal location for walking dog owners, a couple looking for a romantic break or friends. Perfect for a short winter break. Lovely log burner. Relaxing and peaceful. A word of warning, very steep stairs. Felt like we were on a boat at times as the floors upstairs slope so much. This place has real character though and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, seeing the New Year in. Highly recommend.
It was a privilege to be able to stay in such a stylish and unique converted building in an imposing location at Dungeness. Other reviews mention snags in the property. It’s getting a little tired and there are things mentioned in older reviews that still aren’t fixed but that did not negatively impact our stay. Overall it was incredible to spend a week at Fog Signal building and experience Dungeness. Carefully curated furnishings and accessories. Huge windows and doors to watch the skies. We sat at the open doors until it was pitch black, the stars were amazing. Our top tip would be to ...more
I bought my husband here for a short break for his birthday to relax and slow down. Ernest didn’t disappoint it had everything we needed to relax and we had a lovely meal at the McCanns brewery.
Beautiful location. Extremely clean. Just some minor issues that would have made it even better. The hut was extremely hot and the automatic provision of a fan would have really helped. Quicker response from the manager regarding issues would have helped too. Overall a lovely stay but I wouldn’t stay again when it’s hot weather.
It was a very enjoyable stay. It's a clean and homely cottage. The lady looking after the plants was friendly and the garden was perfect for sitting out in the good weather. Thank you for the welcome box. We would visit again. I think I didn't know there were no pavements to walk where we stayed, which made a bit of difference to me. Great train connections from Faversham. We visited lots of places. Some thicker bedroom blinds would help with the early summer sun rise.
We enjoyed our visit to Canterbury and surrounding area. The Linen House was a perfect spot to stay in Canterbury, having parking on site was brilliant. The accommodation was very clean and well stocked with kitchenware. Shame there was no welcome basket, there was tea & coffee but no milk in fridge for our arrival. We did enjoy our stay, and would return.
Wasn’t quite as advertised- no pub in the village for example and some basics missing eg dishwasher tablets etc V small garden and strange bungalow that looks abandoned in front of the cottage. Needed a deep clean.
An excellent quiet retreat, ideal for walkers, lazy bones, readers and sleepers. You can see the sea!
Great for our extended family. Gorgeous pool. Very comfortable and lovely large garden. Would highly recommend
Had a fabulous weekend, the house was clean, big grounds, comfortable layout of the house. Only few minor details - no amenities in showers and only one hairdryer for the whole house
Masketts barn was perfect for our party of 10. We had the perfect layout of bedrooms, with two tucked away down the corridor downstairs and the other four on the upstairs landing. There was one master bathroom downstairs with the one shower, and then a toilet room upstairs and a separet toilet room with bathtub also upstairs. We had a fabulous time there, the kitchen was superb with the steps down to the extra couch area that looked across the garden and fields. The main living area was large with extra couches on the other side of the fire place. There were loads of games in the cabinets and ...more
This was our second visit to Pitch Perfect Canterbury. We visit for the cricket at St Lawrence Road and the flat is just over the road in Old Dover Road. The flat is very well presented and very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and there is an excellent shower. It is good to have the second bedroom although the storage is ample in the main bedroom. Despite being on a main road the flat is quiet and there is a good sized sitting room overlooking the garden. There is a Sainsburys over the road so although out of the town centre we were able to shop with ease. Also a good bus servi...more
A fabulous place to stay with unrivaled views over Dungeness but needing a bit of TLC now. It's an imposing-looking piece of architecture with the 4th best viewpoint of the sea, the beach and the land - only the two lighthouses and the power station are taller and none of them offer accommodation. In the Coastguard Lookout the view from the lounge and the balcony outside the upper bedroom are fabulous, day or night, when massive ships lit up in the dark pass along the English Channel. Some of the fixtures and fittings are getting very worn now - the curtain that sections off the toilet was ...more
We enjoyed our short break in excellent accommodation, which was perfect for our needs. Clearly a lot of thought had gone in to the accommodation and everything had been finished to a high standard. We would certainly stay there again if we are in the area and would recommend to anyone who is visiting East Sussex, an perfect base for many local National Trust places.
My second visit and I wouldn't have returned unless I liked it. A lovely, rural location in a a beautiful 16th century manor house. The accommodation was basic, but comfortable and the host was friendly and attentive. The rooms would be even nicer with a TV in the lounge and running water.
This was our second stay at the property. Lovely views and a very comfortable house. We love it here.
