We stayed with our family for our mother-in-laws 75th birthday. The house was presented immaculately on arrival with a beautiful and unexpected welcome goodie box. The attention to detail was second to none and the house was very comfortable. The property was well stocked with everything you could think of from linen to utensils to fire wood. It catered for all ages and the children had lots of fun in the games room. We can highly recommend this property to anyone for anytime of year (we went in November).
Beautifully presented historic building, rural location, personal touches. Made me feel very special!
We had a fantastic stay at The Bull Pen. It's a clean, modern and spacious property situated within wonderful surroundings. As we stayed during Christmas, the underfloor heating was most welcome and the beds were very comfortable. The complimentary Christmas Panettone was a lovely touch! There is also an adjoining property with the same layout, which have interconnecting gardens. We will defintley book again and whole experience with Bloom Stays was great. Thank you.
We have just spent a long weekend at this fabulous house. The views and location to the beach are spectacular. The house is perfect and every room is beautifully decorated and well thought out. The kitchen was better equipped than my own. We will definitely be returning!!
Little Lark was a fantastic base right next to the beach for our visit to Camber Sands, we couldn't recommend this place more highly 5☆☆☆☆☆ Thank you so much Anna!
Had the most wonderful weekend here. The location is perfect with view of the lighthouse. Felt so peaceful, isolated, cosy - in all weathers. Check in and check out was seamless. Could not recommend more. Will be back.
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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had a fantastic stay at Pheasants Lodge. Immaculate annexe, really well equipped and has plenty of provisions. Very clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed for a beautiful and comfortable stay. The host was very friendly, and available to help if needed.
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 booked The Coach House for a family weekend. The criteria for the location was to be as central as possible for everyone to travel to and it was perfect. So close to the motorway but at the same time in the middle of the countryside. We were planning to visit other places but the walks without getting in the car were ideal. The house itself has to be the best equipped house I have stayed in, the hosts have literally thought of everything. We made use of some of the games and enjoyed the dressing up box and photo frame! The garden is so good for younger children from the lovely tree house ...more
We had an amazing stay here, our first staycation as a family of three and I couldn’t have asked for it to be better! Sonia was brilliant from point of booking to the moment we left! We will be back xxx
We enjoyed our stay at the Loft. It's a well equipped, spacious, clean apartment, very suitable for families. The location is superb for visiting the various NT properties in the area. The host was extremely congenial and there are clear instructions for all appliances.
Beautiful location overlooking rolling countryside with walks from your doorstep. This dog friendly cottage definitely feels like a home not a holiday rental. The Photographs do not do the property justice. Bushes Oast is beautifully laid out as well as decorated to a very high standard. The bedrooms would definitely suit two couples or a family and it is laid out as two separate suites. Either feeling like the master bedroom. I'm very fussy and always ask about the age of the mattresses and bed lining, at Bush Oast not only were the beds really really comfortable, but the linen was beautifu...more
There is nowhere on earth quite like Dungeness and East Cottage is the perfect place to stay. Beautifully decorated and equipped. We were very sad to leave.
We stayed here for my friends hen do, every part of the house was absolutely perfect for it! The dining part of the kitchen was my favourite, absolutely stunning table that everyone could fit around. The bedrooms were comfortable, beautiful and clean. The living spaces were cosy but big enough for us all to fit. The venue was easy to find and had enough parking for us. I wish we had stayed in the summer so we could've used the outside space more as it is amazing! Lovely host that left us some yummy refreshments! Thank you so so much!
Excellent! As a group of 23 we had a fantastic long weekend on the complex, between the main barn, the cottages and the oast we had everything we could have needed and all to a high standard. This is our second time staying at the property and we will be back for a third I am sure!! Thanks for a great weekend
Wow! This venue is absolutely stunning. It was clean comfortable and in a fantastic location with great amenities. I cannot recommend it enough. We had a wonderful long weekend stay and will definitely be returning with the family at some point in the future. Thank you so much again.
We booked to stay here at the last minute due to a change in family plans for Christmas, which had to be relocated entirely. The house is lovely and very well-equipped. Although we didn't attempt Christmas dinner here (we were invited over to our son-in-law's parents), we cooked several meals and iced a Christmas cake during our stay - only slightly thwarted/surprised by not being able to find a sieve for the icing sugar - but there were two whisks and a large mixing bowl in the cupboards. We made regular use of the coffee machine. The Landing is only a few steps away from Hythe High Stree...more
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.
We had the most perfect stay at the Hayloft and couldn’t have been happier with the house, facilities, location, and welcome from the hosts! The interior is stunning - beautifully decorated, luxurious and comfortable, and thoughtfully appointed too with hot tub towels, cool bags for picnics, charger cables, robes - the owners have really thought of everything you could need. We had amazing weather, and the views from the Hayloft are spectacular. The hot tub is wonderful, there’s a lovely balcony for eating outside, a beautiful open plan kitchen and lounge. It honestly couldn’t have been bet...more
We needed to stay somewhere whilst our kitchen was being renovated. The Parlour, Jane and Trevor all lovely. All i would say is the sofas are very low down so expect that. Has absolutely everything you would need so don't delay, book today! PS the Lambing season is best! Took me back, quite emotionally to my childhood.
Access to lovely swimming pool and beautiful grounds, household items supplied as standard! Fab weekend!
Spacious, clean & well-equipped house in an excellent location for beach walks or browsing little shops/cafes/restaurants/bars of Tankerton. There were 4 adults & 3 young children & a dog in our party & this was the perfect house for our Christmas stay. We were lucky to always find parking spaces for our two cars right outside the house (on-street parking) The hot tub was an added bonus! Would totally recommend staying at this property.
My family loved this stay at The Old Schoolroom. A beautiful house, very comfortable and well equipped with lots of charm and character.
As you arrive down this hidden a way sandy track of a road, rolling along on sandy waves to the most perfect destination. This is the best bit of Camber if like us you want to avoid hilly climbs up sand dunes. It is a flat walk to the beach and takes but a minute. Lark Rise is a tardis of a building, you walk into a huge open plan kitchen, dining, living room. You feel as if you have been transported to Montauk. The peaceful garden has a perfect “end of garden” cabin, a little ( actually not so little ! ) self contained studio. A hot tub bubbling away ready to invite you in. It has eve...more
A perfect stay for my partners birthday celebration with friends. Very clean and in good general condition. The hot tub was a lovely addition as was the fire, with logs provided. The games room unfortunately for us was separate from the property, and a little cold. The light was not working in there and we had some trouble when emptying the fruit machine. The games room was still used but would have suited us better if it was joined with the main property. Kitchen was lovely, equipped with a choice of beautiful crockery and modern electrical items. Maybe could have done with some pint glasses ...more
Wow, what an amazing barn conversion. This property has everything you need for a fantastic weekend away with friends/family. The house is very well equipped, the cinema room is an absolute dream! We celebrated a 50th birthday and it truly was a special trip. There are soooooooo many positives (spacious, hot tub, electric blinds and windows, log fire, cinema room, stunning views, open plan kitchen area, games room) the only negative is that some of the beds could really do with a mattress upgrade!! A fantastic weekend anyway in a lovely property!
We had a lovely time at this beautiful cottage as our home base to explore this part of England. The view is just breathtaking and the owner is very kind so we felt right at home! We also had some delicious meals at the local restaurants in the street, the real English experience! Thank you for the great time and we hope to be back. Love L, J, L - Holland. November 2023.
We have just had a short weekend break at the Seagulls. The apartment is on the top two floors of an imposing seafront house and has wonderful light and views. Each room is nicely decorated and has large comfy beds. The kitchen is well equipped, including a bottle of welcome wine in the fridge. We will be going back next summer to enjoy more light and hopefully some sunshine.
Southbeach is such a cosy little flat in an excellent location. Everything you need and even more is there in this well-equipped place. Sal's welcome with flowers, crisps, wine and other goodies is so heart-warming. We're looking forward to our next stay.
Hi. Everything was brilliant apart from the lethal mud getter no to the hut. I appreciate it is a working farm but there needs to be some sort of path to the huts as the mud made it treacherous A small point on an otherwise great experience Thx S
We had a lovely weekend at the Gate House with our dog. The House is very cosy, clean and well-equipped, set in a beautiful estate. A lovely countryside escape situated very close to Folkestone, which has beautiful beaches, cafes and pubs. Would highly recommend!
This was a special trip for me and the host could not have been more welcoming. The apartment is lovely - large, light, very well kept and cleaned. The view is superb and what you see in the photos is only part of it. Perfect, restful and crucially very safe place to stay with lovely walks and loads to do in the area. Great info provided and everything you need. Cannot recommend enough. Thanks for a truly memorable trip. A special place run by lovely people.
We loved our short stay. The shepherds hut was so sweet and had everything we needed for a comfortable night. It was really peaceful and quiet, and we were surrounded by nature, it was perfect.
We stayed at the Roost for 2 months and could not have asked for a better place to spend our time in the UK. Carys and Tim were the greatest hosts and made us feel at completely at home. We loved our chats with Carys and Tim who are kind, warm and really the most perfect hosts. The Roost has everything we needed for a longer stay. We were warm and cozy and loved waking up on the farm! We loved the chickens, and looking out over the trees from the bedroom. We found it easy to get to Canterbury and loved the countryside strolls into Wingham! We could not recommend the Roost more. It has ...more
The venue was great, the host was amazing but I don’t think he was with Bloom Stays. They kept me up to date and were helpful.
A wonderful surprise as we entered the building. Beautifully presented accommodation, modern and comfortable. All the essentials you require for a or indeed, short or indeed a long stay. Was toasty and warm and a convenient location just 15 minute walk to the front. Nice and quiet with a bright and airy bedroom. We were fortunate to get parking every day outside the flat although it could get a little tricky. This really was a gorgeous accommodation.
Beautiful view over open field. Great location for all of the Marsh and Dungeness. Extremely well-equipped and comfortable. Host very helpful and easy to contact. Easy self check-in.
Absolutely lovely stay at The Old post office in Dargate. The kitchen was so well equipped cooking a meal with my family was a pleasure. It was Christmas time and it was decorated beautifully with a real Christmas tree in the lounge. It was well equipped we honestly didn’t need to take anything! The welcome back was very welcoming and had some lovely bits in. So well maintained. We are just so positive about our stay!! We couldn’t have asked for anything else. Thank You for making our New Year break so memorable!
We loved it for many reasons, but particularly the immediacy of the sea. So close to the water, we felt we were on a ship! Would recommend to anyone.
My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 2 Dairy Barn, the barn has been converted to a very high standard and the hosts have thought of every small detail to make it a great experience! The hot tub is a standout feature with a lovely view over the valley, and the welcome pack, log burner with starter logs and large range of kitchen items to use was a great touch, we highly recommend!
Staying at Abbotts Cliff House makes you feel like you've just stepped back in time to a wonderful world of sweeping staircases and breathtaking views. On arrival the owner was warm and welcoming, and the house was spotless and cosy (which was perfect in January). We stayed for 4 nights to celebrate a very late Christmas and it was a truly unique experience for us all. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed and all the beds were comfy. We never did manage to get the TV or DVD's to work (we were there in a middle of a storm) but luckily the kids were happy playing Christmas ...more
We had another lovely stay at Hockley house, our second new year visit. Hot tub great addition. Owner kind and gave a friendly warm welcome. Beautiful location, great for country walks. Thanks for a great stay!
Could not beat the location, comfort of the property and its spacious garden Kitchen had all the utensils you’d need for cooking each night The walk from back door to beach front took 1minute! Our toddler loved exploring the garden and we loved sitting at the window seat, watching the world go by Is the best place we’ve stayed on the Kent coast, and wish we could visit each year
A little windy so we had trouble lighting the stove other than that all was great except the weather
North Vat is in a amazing location, with stunning views of the sea and surrounding area. The building is minimalist but comfortable and designed so that you where ever you position yourself you have can see the glory that is Dungeness.
We had such an amazing time staying in the Shepherds huts for the bank holiday weekend. Everything was provided for essentials which was great and useful. The hut is nice and cosy and you can have a bbq outside overlooking the fields with sheep. There’s a lot to do also in the area, we went to all the beaches along the coast, farm shop and aqua park. There’s a lot of nice restaurants and pubs recommended by the owner which we tried and was great! We will definitely be coming back again soon as we had a fab time.
Enjoyed stay - I do not know if have access to tennis if not in main house Lovely stay - could be better shower
To stay in an old railway coach is very special, and Plumcot Halt has been lovingly renovated into the quirky, cosy place it is today. Loved everything about it, comfortable, cosy, with all you need to totally relax. Very well maintained and equipped, especially in the kitchen. Spotlessly clean , very comfortable bed, and crisp bed linen. Pretty outside garden and fruit trees, added to the unique property. Only 20 minute walk to city, and able to walk to the Spifire ground to watch county cricket, {Michael and Theresa routed us across fields, and through orchards - great !!} Hosts so frien...more
Some of the toilets could do with locks! Table tennis was an added bonus! very enjoyable stay - would come again!
We liked all about the place, you find everything you need for a long stay, well arranged. The back yard and front was nicely landscaped. There's a large beautiful park next to the property and only a few minutes walk to the city center. BloomStay and Elizabeth were super helful!!!
What a stunning place and setting. Perfect for exploring Dungeness and the area, great views from all the windows, warm and cosy. I personally didn’t find the settee very comfortable, but managed by making a nest of pillows and cushions. Luckily I was on my own or this might have been an issue. Couldn’t fault anything else, has been done up to an impressively high standard.
This lovely house worked very well for our family of 15 adults and 4 toddlers/ babes. The main kitchen dining area was where we all gathered and there was plenty of room. The kitchen was very well equipped and we had memorable evenings at that long dining table. There was ample fridge/ freezer space for all the food and drink necessary for such a large party. The living area had enough seating to accommodate us all after dinner and was very cosy. The young ones loved the outdoor area with a few attractions such as the swing etc.
Hill House Farm provided a perfect setting for our family to gather for the weekend. The scenery is delightful, with local walks in all directions, and the house is charming, light, airy, spacious and very well presented. The sight of splendid Highland cattle coming and going in the neighbouring field was a lovely bonus. Customer service from Bloom Stays was excellent: we only needed one little extra thing in the kitchen during our stay, and it was supplied with no delay or hassle. Highly recommended.
Stayed with family for my sons 40th birthday.. The barn is a fantastic place to stay everything you need is provided and nothing is too much trouble our food delivery arrived before us and the girls put it all away for us ..
Gorgeous period property in the heart of West Malling. Had everything we needed for our family of 4. The original features have been preserved beautifully, while modern touches make it functional. The house was larger than expected, and the bright and airy kitchen with direct access onto a quaint garden created additional space to enjoy the evening sun. We’ll return in a heartbeat.
The Dairy is just as the pictures depict - spacious, comfortable and private. It’s been such a lovely stay with a very understanding and easy going owners nearby as well as efficient administrative team from Bloom Stays.
22 of us stayed in this beautiful property for a weekend to celebrate a hen party. John was incredibly accommodating, we travelled from the midlands and he was able to meet a few of the party early to allow access, he was very thorough with instruction and details, he was on hand for everything we needed all weekend and nothing was too much trouble. The accommodation itself was beautifully kept, very clean and had everything you would need for the entire weekend. Compromising of 9 beautifully furnished and decorated large bedrooms all with en-suite bathrooms, this really was a girly weeken...more
A big family gathering, 9 adults and 5 kids and the house was absolutely perfect for all of us. So many different rooms to hang out in, a huge garden to run around in, a big kitchen to hang and cook, I would say that the kitchen is missing some key utensils but I spoke to the house manager about that. Walking distance to the beach was perfect too. We all had a great stay and would love to visit 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
This house was a last minute change to our booking due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control. The house is in an excellent location with simply stunning views & coupled with its extensive facilities makes it a delightful all round place to spend some truly relaxing time.
The Custom House was all I had hoped for, there were 16 of us staying on a Pilgrimage from Rochester to Ramsgate. It provided a welcome and comfortable place to stay after long walks.....very well equipped, clean and quiet at night.
We had a fantastic stay at Sunday for my wife’s 50th birthday celebration with two other couples. Can’t beat the location and bedrooms were excellent with loads of room. If I would say what was a little less than perfect was that the dinning area and lounge needed some/more softer chairs to accommodate 6 people. The lounge sofa was far too low and sat 2 and then there was two more soft chairs but we needed 6, so had to bring in two of the less comfortable dinning chairs. Overall it was great and we would certainly consider staying there again in the future.
What a beautiful home , and a joy to stay in. Every element of this house was perfect for us . We had comfort , every room had its own en suite. lovely quality bed linens, towels . in fact the whole house was of very high standards . We especially loved that we were able to go through the garden gate to the beach or walk into Folkestone . We highly recommend this house .
We loved our stay here and the house was beautifully equipped to cater for all ages from 8 to 78. The sea views were stunning, the house really comfortable and spacious and thoughtfully equipped. Highly recommend if you are looking for a memorable stay for a large group.
We really loved our stay at the Pump House. The house is beautiful (the pictures don't do it justice). Looking forward to returning one day.
We had a wonderful stay at Plum Pudding Cottage. The location is within easy walking distance of three pubs. It is also close to both Whitstable and Canterbury. The kitchen and bathroom are up to date and modern. The rural location is exactly what we were looking for.
Great cosy hideaway. Dungeness is remote and wild. Exactly what we wanted. Radar is stylish and comfortable with a stunning view. The interior has been really well planned and is a stark contrast to the exterior.
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!
We really liked this place - great art on the walls! The shower could be better - but only a minor moan. Waking up in the Watch Tower was peachy ☀️
Loved the house very much . Very comfortable and beautifully decorated with amazing attention to detail . No issues with the house just the location is just a tad too far from Rye , Tenterden and other main areas . Not great for driving home to in the dark on the small country roads . This would not be an issue in summer
We really loved staying at Cart Lodge, the cottage is very comfortable and is perfect for a short break. We were left a reallt nice welcome hamper as well, which was amazing. We would love to stay again.
We had a lovely stay at Honeywood Lodge. It is close to London and ideal for small families with kids as the accommodation is not too big but with the huge benefit of a private indoor pool. The property was clean, well appointed and easy to access. There were one or two hitches like the microwave not working and the mattresses could be more comfy but overall a brilliant stay.
This is the 3rd time we have stayed at Driftwood Cottage and it never disappoints. The booking with Bloomstays is hassle free and the service they provide is exemplary. We have stayed in other Bloomstays properties and they always have the edge on quality and character. Driftwood is no exception. Perfect location right on the seafront for coffee in the morning on the terrace after a bracing dip, gorgeous evening views with a glass of wine and a lovely 45 min walk along the seafront to Hythe one way or Folkestone the other. This time there was 4 of us and 2 small dogs at Driftwood and it was ...more
The Oast was a really unique and comfortable place to celebrate my mum's 70th Birthday. Alan was a terrific host.
This cottage is in a great location - just a stones throw from the High Street, canal and a short flat walk to the sea (and a small green dog exercise area near the canal). We enjoyed some great eateries over a long weekend and were blessed with sunny (if a little chilly) weather. The bedrooms are huge! The cottage has original doors and windows so noise suppression isn’t great, but the road isn’t terribly busy so all in all didn’t detract too much from the stay (although the heating was essential to help balance out the occasional draughty window). The place was immaculately clean with g...more
I booked this for my partners birthday as he is an avid outdoor person, and I had never tried anything like this before. We were so happy with the location and how quiet it was, the lady that I dealt with was super friendly and efficient and everything was thought of! The day was so perfect and couldn’t have asked for anything more. I would absolutely stay again given its quaint and you can detach from everything. Amazing thank you again!!!
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour. La maison est exceptionnellement décorée et c’est un véritable coup de cœur.
We had a great time at this cottage, just what we wanted, a house in a very quite location but near the city of Canterbury with everything there, the house is very comfortable, loads of couches, a brand new kitchen, and the Hot tub was perfect we all set in in the morning and in the evening, we would love to come back soon.
We love coming back to Crow Cottage. It is cosy, comfortable, well equipped and very quiet. Perfectly located for a range of fabulous dog walks including some right from the front door but dog just as happy chasing around the garden. Booking via Bloom very easy and excellent customer service.
Wonderfull atypical flat in the heart of Canterbury. We couldn't wait better !!!! Everything was perfect : amazing kitchen, helpfull private carpark, cosy rooms, two bathrooms and everything you can need !
Very attractive, comfortable, well equipped home. Wonderful walled, lawned garden for dogs and humans to enjoy. Well situated for pretty villages and Faversham.
Oast Barn Cottage is well located for visiting Kent's attractions and comfortably warm, although one of us found the bed too soft. A particular benefit is the use of a season ticket for the excellent Belmont House and Gardens which is only 5 minutes away by car. The kitchen is small and therefore there is limited crockery-two mugs for example- which we think could be increased with better use of the kitchen storage there is. This means if anything like a mug handle is found to be cracked then whoever is staying needs a replacement promptly to avoid unnecessary inconvenience.
The property and location was lovely. We were 1 bed short 11 beds were available for 12 guests. We arrived at 5pm the office had closed, not a problem with the property but I think this is an issue with Bloom Stays for not letting the house keeper know how many people were staying at the house. I would not re book with Bloom Stays because of this issue.
Craythornes is a beautiful house with masses of character, perfect for a group New Year's Eve celebration. We particularly loved the spacious kitchen, the extremely comfortable beds and the easy access to Dungeness. The owner was incredibly welcoming, helpful and relaxed which we really appreciated, and we had great communication & flexibility from Bloom Stays in the run-up.
We had a really enjoyable stay. The cottage is small but lovely - very comfortable and had everything we needed for a quiet week away from it all. The welcome pack of local cheese, apple juice etc was superb.
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
A lovely getaway for the bank weekend, just to relax and unwind. The delightful cottage was thoughtfully decorated, put us at ease straightaway, with everything in tip top condition. Many attractions were within a short drive away. Great location with plenty to do. We walked to Hythe beach, a short drive to Lower Lea, Camber Sands and Great Stone beach. There were books and games as well, so you could curl up with a book or play board games.
We had a very peaceful time at Little Sunray. Cosy getaway and very wintery walks with the dog (who loved it).
Very well equipped, everything you need for your stay and beyond. Hamper was a lovely and welcome addition. To the provisions provided in the fridge and hamper to the toiletries, the owner really had thought of everything for your stay. Beautiful views of the garden and wood beyond, with wild birds and squirrels, this really is a lovely place to stay.
A unique location with outstanding views across the English Channel.. Very comfortable and ideal for a weekend getaway for 2 people. My only criticism is that on arrival the heating was not working and in February, it was very cold. Being underfloor heating was lovely once we got it on, but it took over night and some of the next day to warm the place sufficiently. Also some of the power was off when we arrived. Small table lamps were working, except for one next to the bed, which didn't work at all and plug sockets but everything else was off. There were logs to use on the wood burner but v...more
We enjoyed our stay at PS1. It’s a beautifully designed property. We felt very cosy and warm with the fire lit. We also loved Dungeness. The only let down is the bed in the master bedroom. The mattress is thin and squeaks! For a property of this calibre and price, this isn’t really good enough.
The house was in need of attention, the blinds were broken, the sofas old and uncomfortable. We were told we could bring our dog only to be told he had to be on a lead at all times even though there was a garden. This meant we had to keep all the doors closed. We walked our 4 year old twins to see the horses to be told they’d better keep away from the fences as they are all electrified.
Stayed for a long weekend for a family rememberance and celebration. Great size house with lovely proportioned rooms that met the needs of all generations. The house was generally clean and well equiped. However, it is in our opinion beginning to appear tired and could benefit from some updateing. For example the towels were all looking slightly grey and quite thin. The sofas in the main sitting room were not very comfertable. Whilst there was plenty of cutlery and crockery not that much mtached and was cheap. The weekend we were there it snowed and was very cold and while there were two log b...more
Very comfortable roomy cottage packed with original features. Well equipped kitchen although 4 /6 matching better quality wine glasses would not come amiss. Lovely log burner for cosy evenings as well as a good central heating system. Large bedroom with comfortable bed. Downstairs bathroom small but adequate. Well situated for visiting our family, for country walks, access to the coast and shopping. The only negative is that the garden is really neglected and requires quite a lot of tidying and repairs.
We were looking forward to staying at El Ray. We have stayed at Dungeness many times and love it there. We decided to splash out on El Ray even though it was one of the more expensive options. I did see that there was a note to say the sliding door was not working but would be fixed by the end of August. Since we were staying in September that didn't cause me any concern. Overall we had a great holiday and the house is in a fantastic location. The wow factor when you walk in is brilliant and the views are great. It has been well designed -The bedroom window is at the right height to loo...more
On arrival, trying to get up the pathway with cases, the stinging nettles got me as it was overgrown. Next, our medium sized dog got out onto the road because there is a huge gap under the gate. Had to cobble together some sort of barrier to stop this happening again. Then there are the stairs. I really struggled trying to get our cases up the stairs as they are VERY steep and get steeper the higher you go, with narrow treads. Throughout our stay I was imagining one of us to falling down them and breaking their neck, as they felt extremely dangerous and the stuff of nightmares. The detai...more
nice apartment , if you like to sleep with the windows open.If you have small children, they may feel the wind coming from the windows.The windows in the apartment are classic wooden and we, who came from Central Europe, felt cool from the windows. Everything else is fine.
Excellent location for a family holiday and Canterbury and surroundings is a beautiful place to visit. The rooms and the dining and sitting room are spacious and comfortable, the place is quiet, there is a nice public garden just bellow . We just had problems with the hot water installation and couldn't use the bathrooms securely and comfortably. I suppose this can be mended and changed so that the place would be perfect. The attendent parking place is a much appreciated.
Is exactly as billed. A stunning location. Always something to watch out of the windows and on the outside decks. I think if there had been a worktop and chairs in the top room (with a foldaway bed) we would have spent most of our time reading and gazing out of the windows - it was a bit chilly to be outside for a long period. Luckily we had taken our thermos flask so had warm drinks up there. We had a wonderful time - thank you. Beverley wanted a seaside location - this could not have been bettered.
