Excellent accommodation, very well equipped, spotlessly clean, everything is brand new. Very quiet and peaceful. Brilliant!
I was welcomed by the friendliest host. A very nice touch of fresh bread and milk was in the kitchen. I had a lovely stay. Everything I needed and more. Parking, well equipped kitchen, TV, wifi, comfortable bed and more. Would highly recommend The Roost
We stayed at Neals Place for 2 weeks with the family ages from 2 to 72 , we had a great time , lovely house , very spacious gardens , we couldn't fault the place , close to Canterbury and lots of great restaurants Blooms Stays staff were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble We would recommend Neals Place to all our family & friends and would certainly stay the again in the future
We booked a long weekend at the Coach House for my dad’s birthday and had such a wonderful stay. The house is beautiful and well kept. We organised for a private chef to come cook my dad’s birthday dinner. The garden is wonderful, the little ones had a blast the tree house while the adults enjoyed Prosecco in the jacuzzi. We loved it and will definitely book again! Also thanks to Brian for all the great support and recommendations.
A lovely house good for all ages and stages. Very well equipped and perfectly located for all activities
What an amazing house!! We stayed for a friends 40th and it was perfect. Amazing entertaining space and all of the bedrooms were beautiful. We had 9 couple in our group and some rooms are better than others if you have couple staying as not all rooms have a double bed (some have 2 singles) Saying that it’s a place to lay your head and this house is just incredible. Great customer services from the team at Blooms constantly keeping me updated. We will definitely be back! Would recommend over and over again!
West Cottage is simply marvellous, so beautiful inside - every little thing had been thought of. It has a great atmosphere, it cocoons you with its thick stone walls and the elegant furnishings. It’s a great retreat from the outside world set in a beautiful, unique landscape
WHat a gorgeous place- beautifully redecorated and super cosy. The main bedroom is stunning! We had a great stay.
Really lovely getaway with beautiful walks to Dover and Folkestone. The host was very generous and kind without being overbearing.
We had a fantastic stay, the room decor was fantastic and clean. The views and surroundings incredible. We will recommend and come back ourselves. We had the breakfast add on, the sausages, bacon and eggs were top quality. The only small constructive criticism that I can think of would be the bread, a nice crusty loaf or sour dough would take this to the next level.
A wonderful and ultra special stay for friends both enjoying a weekend child free to rest and recharge together. Each of us had a double room each both special rooms neither feeling we lucked out. Huge TVs, terraces outside our rooms and special touches like coffee machines in the rooms, cotton buds in the bathrooms and dressing gowns. The hot tub looks over a meadow garden with stunning views - the sunsets are something! Pub - the Tiger Inn is close by and fantastic we managed to walk in 40 mins. The location is a walkers paradise and the owners leave a picnic basket to take with yo...more
Beautifully presented historic building, rural location, personal touches. Made me feel very special!
We stayed at Lacton Manor Barns (both properties) for a week and really enjoyed our stay. Upon arrival we were met by Jane and we met her partner later. The property is very nice, modern, well equipped and spacious. It was spotless and very pleasant. The enclosed garden was lovely and our dog really enjoyed pottering around in it
East Cottage is truly exceptional. The place was spotlessly clean and everything finished to the highest standard. Bloom Stays were extremely helplful at every stage. Would definitley recommend.
Channel View is nothing short of perfect for a coastal get away that balances a rural and secluded retreat with a chic and modern living space. Super well appointed, every little detail has been thought of to make the stay exactly what you want to it, be that a cosy hideaway through to a fun and comfortable base for some local coastal exporting. We only booked to stay for a night to getaway and it delivered everything we needed and then some. The chilled Prosecco on arrival, the perfect temperature of the hot tub, the stylish décor, the breath-taking views and the incredibly welcoming hosts ...more
This property is totally unique with utterly stunning views from all windows. Close to Sevenoaks yet you could be in the depths of Devon infact you could be anywhere. Tranquil, beautiful and breathtaking
The Motor House Loft provided us with an excellent base from which to explore the treasures of this part of Kent. On arrival we were met by the very friendly and lovely black lab Maisie who was always pleased to see us throughout our stay. Mark and Melanie are great hosts and very pleasant to talk to. Mark has a great knowledge of the footpath network around the property with many walks from the door and shared these with us, the one to Bodiam Castle is excellent. Other attractions nearby were Sissinghurst castle, Scotney and Smallhythe. The Loft was very clean, well laid out and very comfo...more
Arranged this stay as a surprise for my boyfriends 30th with a group of 22 friends. Everyone had the most amazing time and were very impressed by the house. I couldn't recommend Finchcocks Oast enough! When looking for houses to host a large group, something that I really struggled with was a space for a large group to gather in - Finchcocks is perfect for this. The kitchen and living space are so big and there were no issues at all with space. Bedrooms are a nice size, well decorated.
We stayed here for New Years. Kim the owner was very welcoming on arrival and was very understanding of our requests. The place itself was fantastic. Beautifully big comfortable rooms and the place is in a great location. With some beautiful walks and pubs nearby. Could recommend the place more.
The owners have thought very carefully about how your visit can be enhanced. Everything from the surroundings, to the hut itself is just perfect! Well equipped, cosy and I cannot wait to return. I especially loved the easy app guide detailing information you may need from local pubs to hiking trails. Booking is a must!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Dunes. The house and garden have been converted with real attention to detail that sets it apart from many other properties in Camber. It was very comfortable and had absolutely everything we as a family of 6 needed over our Christmas holiday. The open-plan space is great if you are looking to spend family time together.
North Vat is a beautifully designed building with stunning views across Dungeness from every window. We had a wonderfully relaxing, comfortable weekend break. Hosts were very responsive and easy to talk to when we had an issue.
We all had an amazing stay and couldn`t really fault anything. Just a slight issue with one of the doors but likely due to the weather. Location a bit tricky to get to due to snow and ice but once arrived views very spectacular. Really ideal for a large group as you have separate areas to go to so not on top of everyone. Looking to return next year during the summer so we can enjoy the outside
Super semi with three bedrooms and a nice little garden and decking right next to lovely Westgate Gardens and 5 minutes into Canterbury centre. Quiet and great too to have free parking on the large driveway.
We loved Old Harrow the last time we stayed and this time was even better. A fabulous cooks kitchen and an extremely social space morning, noon and night. Fun facilities and the cinema screen / room is not just brilliant for watching movies (we watched Top Gun! it’s connected to aps including YouTube and our kids loved “the floor is lava” in the dark with the star lit ceiling with the entire wall sized screen central focus. We enjoyed our daily walks around the lanes in a 30 minute circuit and those of the group with dogs ventured just outside to the enclosed paddock to let their...more
We had a great stay at The Landing. It was very comfortable and well equipped. Located right next to town and a short walk to the beach. We’d definitely stay again
Lovely weekend away. Was very lovely and clean and well kept. Beautiful grounds and just a great weekend
We spent a lovely week at Bonnington cottage. It is convenient for visiting all the seaside towns. The location of the cottage is really quiet and peaceful, the walk down the lane to the village is beautiful and Goodnestone gardens are a must visit. The cottage has everything required, comfortable bed, good shower, hot water, fully stocked kitchen for cooking. We sat out in the garden most of the time as the weather was good, the seating was comfortable.
We had a wonderful Christmas stay with the family, it was everything we hoped for and will treasure the memories made.
We stayed one week at Plum Pudding Stables with our dog and we enjoyed it very much. Although the house is located near a road, this did not bother us. The location was perfect for trips to Whitstable, Faversham and Canterbury (max 15 min drive). Dinner at The Dove was also very lovely! (5 min walk). There is also a very nice walk in the Blean woods (5 km) that starts near The Dove. Information about the walk can be found on an information board outside The Dove. As the weather was really good (sunny and temperatures of around 25 degrees) we enjoyed the garden a lot: reading a book undernea...more
We enjoyed a perfect weekend at The Old Post Office for our annual Christmas “office party”. The customer care was over and above & the house certainly didn’t disappoint. We even had snow so we felt like we were in a fairytale! We had a lovely stroll up to The Dove for Christmas lunch which took only minutes and was delicious. The only downside to the freezing temperatures was that, unfortunately, we didn’t get to enjoy the hot tub (we weren’t that brave) so that’ll have to wait until next time ;)
Brilliant little cabin with incredible views. Peaceful place & close to Sandgate cafes and Folkestone street food on the Harbour Arm. Great location to explore coast - Samphire Hoe and Dungeness, and pretty pastel houses in Deal. Cycle hire nearby and everywhere is flat paths and accessible along the coast path. Joanna was lovely and the perfect host. We’d love to visit again!
Not sure what the difference is from the question above. The TVs in all rooms were too big especially in the lounge and too high. It could have been put on a different wall with a swing out TV.
We had a lovely week at The Stables at Bells Forstal. The barn was very clean and furnished to a high standard and we had a lovely welcome basket. It was a great location to visit Whitstable, Leeds Castle and Canterbury. We visited some local gardens and did plenty of walking. This is a great place if you want somewhere nor close to a lot of people abs a very quiet spot for sleeping- we would definitely recommend.
We had a lovely stay at Equus Barn. We were met by the owner and then left completely alone for the holiday but knowing where to go if we needed anything. The Barn itself was comfortable and very warm with everything we needed. There is a reasonable road to and from the Barn but the sat nav kept taking us down some very small lanes so beware and check your map! We visited lots of lovely places in Kent and the barn was a very good base. Would visit again.
To arrive here, after a long drive from Switzerland was simply amazing, The kindness and attention to detail are remarkable. Thanks to Sal for taking wonderful care of us. We hope, one day, to be back! The B Family, Switzerland, July 2022
We were really happy with our stay at Cart Lodge. The lodge is beautiful with lovely decor and loads of character but all the modern amenities we could ask for. And the hosts were great, they checked in on us during the storm to make sure we were ok. We would happily recommend anyone to book here so wants a lovely escape to the country.
Recently stayed at The Homestead for my sisters hen weekend with some family and friends. The house was perfect for our murder mystery dinner evening with the large table seating 16 people and spacious kitchen. Beautiful grounds over looking fields and woodland. Bedrooms were clean and comfortable. Only a short 10-15 drive into the centre of Canterbury. Would definitely recommend and stay again with family.
We had the perfect stay at Finchcocks Oast, for a large Christmas dinner and weekend with friends. Spacious and clean with everything we could need for cooking for a large number of guests.
We loved visiting this cosy and charming flat. We enjoyed the location of the flat as well as the neighbouring towns. The beds and bedding were extremely comfortable! Hope to visit again soon.
Had a fantastic few days at this beautiful accommodation. The amazing weather helped, which meant that we could enjoy having breakfast on the balcony in the morning and drinks as the sun was setting. The accommodation was spotless and beds and furnishings very comfortable. Joanna was a very helpful hostess. Highly recommend.
The Old Schooolroom is a comfortable, cosy place to stay. Full of character and great memorabilia, it is fun to go through the old books and annuals on the shelves. Well equipped, nicely decorated and warm, you feel at home very quickly. The owners live next door and are friendly, welcoming and very helpful if you need assistance. Highly recommended.
Beautiful accommodation with stunning views from lounge and 3 of the bedrooms. Very clean and owner very welcoming. A couple of niggles, there was not enough comfy seating in the lounge for the 6 of us, and the showers were not powerful enough and hard to get a good temperature either scalding or freezing which meant we mainly used the bathroom on the first floor. But would not hesitate to return.
Thank you for a lovely stay! The view was very special with the sun rising/setting over the fields. The sheep were in the same field and around us lots of the time which was lovely. We had a nice walk around the field, The shepherds hut was very special, clean and beautiful. We cooked breakfast in the morning on the hob. We had wood for the fire pit and it was nice and warm in the shepherds hut. Thank you for a very special stay Kristina and for letting us stay a little longer!
We had a wonderful stay at Honeywood Lodge with our young family. Everything was accommodated for and my children loved the use of the fantastic private indoor pool. We were incredibly lucky with the weather which allowed us to enjoy the large garden to its full extent. A great property that we have already recommended and cannot wait to book our next stay!
Just a lovely stay in a comfortable and welcoming cottage. Oh and sorry I did not put the dishwasher on just before we left my fault apologise.
Thanks for a lovely accomodation! We Have spent a fantastic stay. Everything was better than we thought.
Darling cottage, everything there for our comfort. I would recommend to others. I do not wish to submit one hundred words!
We spent a week at beautiful Hill House Farm, a lovingly renovated and well maintained home with plenty of original features. The weather was excellent so we got to enjoy the expansive garden and al fresco dining area with BBQ. The setting is just idyllic, and yet it’s 20-40 minutes drive away from various cities/towns/beaches to visit… a really good base to explore all the corners of Kent.
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 Buoys is a pleasant 3 bedroom small house / converted bungalow right on the Coast Road between Dungeness and New Romney. The road is right in front of the house - so you always have the noise of cars - but beyond that is the pebbly beach which is peaceful even in the school holidays and when the tide goes out is full of different sea birds. The back garden is pebbly too and gives lovely sunsets and has the miniature railway going along the back fence. Slightly wobbly paving stones on the patio that you need to watch out for and we couldn't work out how to lock the front door from outside s...more
The Figgy is a lovely little cottage situated in the grounds of a beautiful estate. The place has everything you could need for your stay (we especially loved the bath!), and would be ideal for anyone visiting anywhere in Kent. The information booklet provided was very helpful, and the staff at Bloom Stays were delightful and always happy to help. We would absolutely recommend this place, and intend to be back ourselves soon!
A lot of thought put into the prep of the hut. Lots of little things, bread, milk, butter & bottle of wine ready waiting to name a few of the little thoughtful touches. Communication ahead of arrival was very good also.
We had a group stay for thanksgiving in November 2022. A lovely house that comfortably slept out group of 18. The house is well stoked, great big table which fit everybody and a lovely location and view from the house. One complaint from the group was the pet fee, at £30 per pet per week whether you stay 3 days or 7 days seemed a little steep, but that is the only complaint from an otherwise lovely weekend.
Fantastic stay. Beautiful views, amazing house and great facilities. Something for everyone from 5 to 80 years of age!
Plumcott was not suitable for me due to being disabled. That was my fault and no reflection on Plumcott. Host’s were brilliant.
My only complaint was having to unload everything for 8 people on double yellow lines. Beautiful property, very well equipped. Very clean and tidy.
This was our second visit to the barn, 12 years after our first and it once again exceeded our expectations. A wonderful idyllic barn set in an ideal location. It was well presented with great facilities. Thank you for making another milestone birthday party with all our family possible!
What a gorgeous cottage, well appointed and so comfortable. Best sleep I have had in years. The number of birds chirping away was gorgeous. I even saw a barn owl one night. Helen the owner is really lovely and truly cares about ensuring your stay is the best it can be.
Driftwood Cottage was wonderful. The owner Louise was very helpful when called with a question. The cottage was furnished very tastefully and so comfortable and contained everything we required. The views from the cottage were amazing and were the icing on the cake.
This lovely characterful house and grounds were just perfect for us - a group of old friends celebrating 70th birthdays - playing snooker, croquet & boules on the lawns, sundowners by the fire pit with gorgeous views and bbqs and dinners all seated round the outside table or at the big wooden table in the bright kitchen/conservatory. We were blessed with sunny days so it was a shame the pool was out of use but maybe another time... The rooms were tastefully furnished and had interesting decorative paintings and objects. Kitchen appliances & equipment were generally good and the welcome basket...more
Customs House was an excellent venue for our very large family of 20 - aged from 5 upwards. There were spaces for us all to chill out and plenty room to eat around the large dinner tables. The setting of Customs House is just magical for an outgoing and sociable group - in addition to the creek with boats and a boatyard nearby there are cafes, quirky shops and a great pizza bar with tables outside and serving excellent pizzas which we all enjoyed. We stayed over October half term and were so lucky with the mild and sunny weather but it would be great there in the spring and summer to...more
Cocooned from the weather you could visit during a storm (we did) and it was lovely and cosy. Fully stocked kitchen, in terms of utensils etc., means that you need do no more than bring ingredients (or have them delivered). Perfect for a short-break.
This cottage is lovely and spacious for 2 with a great outside grassed area for dogs - although not enclosed there is only one other property about 150yds away and otherwise surrounded by fields, so very quiet. Comfortable, clean, warm, well equipped and perfectly located for walks and places to explore from the door or just a short drive away
The pictures don't do the property justice it's possibly one of the best we've stayed at. We stayed in January in a cold spell and property was comfortable even with one radiator not working in the lounge the log burner was nice bed comfortable and the shower powerful. The only negatives were motorway noise and no welcome pack of any description but would definitely stay there again
When looking at the pictures, this stay looks very nice. It has been decorated very well, the bed is really terrific and the view from the kitchen of the birds feeding is lovely. But the hut has been designed very strangely. The shower and toilet are extremely small, with the sink so tiny as to be almost unusable. There is a dangerous step from the bedroom into the kitchen and no light switch at the door to see it. The main picture window overlooks the main house car park so pretty boring and no privacy. The house is generally quite dark. The hot-tub is a 'lounger' style so is difficult to get...more
The nicest, most stylish and elegant holiday flat we’ve ever rented! Comfortable, spotless, big, immaculate, and provided with every sort of modern comfs., in the very centre of a spectacular ancient town. However, what made the Loft incredibly great for us was that special feeling we had from the very moment we entered it, which accompanied us throughout our entire stay; the feeling of being at home and a strong wish to remain there for good! Thank you Bloom Stay, you’ve made us discover a hidden gem in Canterbury and allowed us to have the greatest holidays ever.
Great to explore Dungeness from . A perfect building in every sense of the word. Architectural ,Design and History . And what a wonderful place Dungeness is. Quietness Calmness Peacefulness.
Lovely oast house in a wonderful location. The outdoor space is fantastic and the master bedroom is gorgeous. The village is great and we particularly enjoyed the boating station and ice creams in their cafe. We appreciated the extras available for a baby like the cot and high chair. The house itself is a lovely old oast house. As with any listed building, there are going to be some things which are a little tired or not to our taste but we expected this. Do beware if you’re 6ft tall…my husband hit his head on the beams upstairs pretty much every day, but again that’s to be expected with an ol...more
We had a fantastic stay at the Pump Station. The house is beautifully designed, clean, comfortable and warm. We loved the open plan living and the fireplace. We visited in the middle of January so the weather was wild and windy, which we loved. It was so atmospheric being in the house with the wind whistling outside but us warm and cosy inside. The location is excellent - 20 minutes walk to the Pilot Inn, 10 minutes from Derek Jarman’s garden, 5 minutes to the fresh fish shack. We walked to the power station and experienced landscapes never seen before - the wild sea whipping up waves and fo...more
We stayed at Cavallo Barn from 25/02 to 17/03 We enjoyed the location, the quite and the kindness of the owners, always there to help. The apartment offered all the amenities advertised and all was in good working order. We would love to have the opportunity to go back one day. S & L Budroni
El Ray is stunning to look at and the location is breathtaking. The facilities inside as great and the two bedrooms made our stay very comfortable. There was plenty of hot water and the fire made the lounge area lovely and warm in the evenings. The only downside to El Ray is the parking. I do think they need to invest in the infrastructure for the parking for guests especially as you can only reverse out to get back onto the main road. We did not feel confident that our vehicle could reverse out of the space allocated with the shingle driveway. A neighbour also advised me that serval other ...more
Myself and my partner stayed here for a night, it was lovely the place was spotless, the hosts where lovely and so helpful. It has fantastic views and the bed is very comfortable! I’d say the only thing is I’d preferred if there were a few more solar lights outside because it’s very difficult to see and navigate your way round at night, even with a torch! We will definitely be staying here again
We had a lovely stay at Chesnuts. we had a small problem with the fridge not working when we arrived but the owners live accross from the house and helped us. The garden was great for the kids, had a hose so perfect for a paddling pool. All rooms were well equipped
The property was very clean and extremely comfortable. All the appliances are top of the range. The games room is an added bonus which compliments the house nicely. The area around is nice and quiet which helps the holiday feeling. We would Highley recommend this cottage for a quality family holiday.
We enjoyed our time at plumpudding cottage. We loved the place. A very good platform to explore Kent and the Southeast of England.
Great cottage for 2 or 3 people. Well equipped and it even has a dishwasher! 2 good sofas to sit comfortably on next to the log burner. Garden wildlife is amazing - take bird seed for the table - we saw 22 species in the garden alone. Belmont house and gardens are great too - not so much to see in the winter but still a nice easy walk. Plenty of walking from the house, nearest pub is approx 3 miles walking cross country - will help you build up an appetite! All this and and yet only 10 mins (by car) from Faversham and all it holds (good food, shopping, antiques and many many pubs etc) Ha...more
An interesting property in a unique location, warm and comfortable in spite of cold and stormy weather, and a good size for 2. There were a few issues that needed attention - leaking roof, lights not working, and several of the outside doors sticking. There was an excellent positive response to us pointing the issues out - but not all of them were fixable while we were there, so I'd suggest the property really needs a full check and refurb before letting. It is an expensive property, so it seems reasonable to expect it to be in excellent condition. The 2 baths seemed a rather strange arran...more
Lovely old cottage charm in a very quiet village. Perfect for that hideaway holiday, but you’ll definitely need a car to get around, buy supplies, visit pubs etc.
Keepers Cottage is a delightful place to stay. Although this is a three bedroom property it feels so spacious. The Orangery is amazing, comfy furniture that allows you to relax and view the large contained garden and the views over the countryside. The kitchen is modern and well equipped. The location of the property was great, a feeling of being in the countryside but not having to drive far to be in Canterbury. So happy to have stayed at Keepers, felt special.
Thi sis a well thought out and lovely place to stay- except they seem to have sctimped on the bed. Most people rent a place like this to sleep in. The bed was very poor.... uncomfortable to say the least. Also the pillows were also pretty poor and had a smell to them. If these things were sorted out I would rank it very highly..... but if you value a good night's sleep I'd suggest you look elsewhere.
We stayed over Christmas in what is a wonderfully unique period property in Kent. The cottage was beautifully decorated for Christmas before our arrival, and really felt like a home away from home. Check in/out was also extremely easy. The cottage is very well equipped throughout (we cooked a 5 person Christmas dinner with ease!) although would benefit from having an icebox indoors rather than via the freezer in the shed. Would highly recommend and hope to stay again.
The house is located near the main point of interest of the city. The mattress are too soft, I couldn’t sleep cause there’s too much light entering from the windows. Only one key of the apartment is provided.
Really stylish interior. Amazing location 100m from sea, Here you really experience the elements. Would definitely come back.
