We stayed here with family for my husbands 40th birthday. The house was fabulous and the pictures on Bloom Stays did not do it justice! It was beautifully decorated and was clean and spacious and everyone enjoyed the hot tub. Worth noting the stairs are a little rickety for anyone with mobility issues. The lounge was big and cosy with the gas fire on and we spent most of our time here enjoying quality time with family. Would recommend the Red Lion for dinner which was a 5 minute drive up the road.

Thank you for taking the time to review, we are so pleased you had such a lovely stay. There is a hand railing on one side and posts on the other re the stairs but we will look at our listing and ensure this is noted for future guests. We hope to welcome you back in the future!

My family and I stayed at the lovely Old Post Office for two nights to celebrate my 30th Birthday and had a wonderful time. With close proximity to Canterbury for the restaurants, a brilliant HotTub, stunning garden and beautiful design throughout the property, it was super spacious and perfect for our stay. The tiny details of this property really add to the superb quality - the finishing touches are immaculate.

This is a very beautiful house and we had an amazing time - the host was super prompt with any questions I had and really went out of his way to make it a wonderful stay.

Our only two points of criticism would be that whilst we were happy to bring our own linen for the cot, we think it'd be beneficial for the property to provide a mattress for the size of the cot provided. Not having the right size mattress could be a safety risk for small infants, so whilst we were happy to bring linen - we felt that the mattress should've been provided to fit that sized cot (there were no sizes provided ahead of time).

Additionally, we had a lovely young gentleman arrive on our second day to sort something for the Hot Tub - levels I think. We were aware he was planned to come - but he didn't alert us by knocking the door, instead just opened the gate to the back garden and walked through. This meant our Dobermann alerted us to him, and proceeded to retreat out of the gate. If she didn't have good recall, she could've easily ran out onto the road & been in danger. Additionally, as a guardian breed - she could've reacted instinctively and tried to defend the property / potentially put the man in danger! Next time a knock on the door or a call would be great so people can put their dogs away to allow him to do his thing.



Short stay for work in Faversham.

Myself and 3 of my colleagues stayed here for a week in September in order to fulfil work commitments nearby. The accommodation was ideal for what we required, including desk space to work as well as space to relax. I would recommend the old Post Office to those in need of a space both for a holiday with family and friends but also as a convenient base if working in the area.

The house was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. We especially enjoyed the lounge which was full of light and had plenty of space for all of us. The garden was a lovely peaceful space to relax, with the outdoor sofa, table and chairs - and of course hot tub! Shame that the weather wasn’t nice enough for us to use it to use it as much as we’d like. The location was fab, with The Dove pub only a few minutes walk away although worth bearing in mind that it is only open Thu-Sun! The Red Lion a mile away was great too.

We were also impressed that the hot tub was checked daily, and really appreciated the electric charging point.

(Couple of points to note - it might have been nice for shower gel/shampoo etc to have been included at that price point. Also we couldn’t find a cheese grater or corkscrew - kitchen was very well equipped otherwise.)

Old Post Office was a really good place for a break. Rural location, quiet, ideal for dogs, roomy, airy, comfortable with every amenity provided including a hot tub, and a Nespresso coffee pod machine. Excellent kitchen facilities; comfortable, large sitting room ; big dining room and four excellent bedrooms. Clean bathroom, shower rooms. The garden was great for wandering around and plenty of room for dogs to run about, though secure. The outdoor furniture was top notch. Just sitting outside in the evening with a glass of wine ( first bottle provided) listening to the birds was magical. As you can tell we loved this house.
We did have to be a little careful going up and down stairs ( we were oldies) as the bottom 2 stairs had a variation in height.
Canterbury, Whitstable within easy reach for trips out and plenty of eating places round and about.
Thoroughly recommend. Jamie,the owner very helpful.

Prachtig huis, met mooie tuin
Heerlijk gehad met ons gezin
We waren met 8 volwassen en 3 kinderen
Vind eigenlijk dat we dan een slaapkamer meer hadden moeten hebben
Indeling van 1 van de slaapkamers was niet zoals we hadden gewild....
Voor de rest prima gehad, zag er allemaal keurig uit

Great place to stay with family. Good and responsive host, good local area. The dove was a short walk, good food but only open a few days a week. So you have to drive everywhere but then it is only 15 mins to many great places

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 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the old post office
Everything was spotlessy clean .
The Garden was lovely and secure for our 2 dogs and views over the newly planted orchard are delightful
The Hot tub is a great asset ,but we did not use it
The Dove Inn a few moments walk down the road was a real delight and the walks from the door were very picturesque and enjoyable
The issue with one shower was fixed very quickly after we called so could not ask for more
The stairs were a bit of an issue for us at times as steep and the turn is tight
But as they say not getting any younger
We really did enjoy our stay and would definitely stay again, if in this area and would recommend to friends and family

Excellent communication with hosts throughout. Comfortable beds and deluxe bedding. List of rules sent via email/text/several times felt a bit intense, but I understand why they are there. Checkout time at 10 felt a bit early, either have a later checkout or earlier check in. No oil/salt/pepper/basic sauce etc, however we did get a welcome load of bread/tea/coffee. Hot tub towels provided. Lovely old building. No issues.



Bloom Stays replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you for your lovely review. We appreciate the guidance in relation to the hot tub may seem intense but it is there for the safety of all guests. Early check in and late check outs are offered where possible, however as explained these were not possible for your stay as there were other guests arriving on the day of your checkout. Salt and pepper are provided, so we will check this with the owner to ensure they are in place. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay in the wonderful house and surroundings.

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 ;)

This property was stunning and definitely worth staying at.

Myself and my colleagues chose this property to be close to our work location in Faversham. The cottage dining room was perfect for setting up a basic office and we had everything we needed for a comfortable working environment with plenty of places to relax after a long day!

I would definitely recommend this property and we all left hoping we could come back for a holiday in the future!

Our party of 9 (ages 2-46!) thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The amazing garden and games cupboard kept our small people entertained, and the hot tub and outdoor seating was perfect for the older, less energetic amongst us.
We enjoyed beach days at Whitstable & Tankerton, visits to the local castles, Bowling, walks at RSVP Blean Woods, The Lobster Shack and plenty of ice creams!!
The house is well equipped and Jamie was right on hand to help with any issues or queries.

The property is lovely and in a great location. We did however have trouble with the hot water running out which was a bit of an annoyance. However the property manager sorted the issue out very quickly. The ceilings are also very low though and we had a few sore heads by the end of the trip, however I would recommend this to my family and friends (the not so tall ones) :)





Bloom Stays replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you for your lovely feedback, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. We have spoken to the owners regarding the hot water who have advised the house has a large pressurised hot water tank sufficient for the occupancy of the house, however if emptied will need a little time to reheat. We do hope your head isn't too sore from the low ceiling in the twin room!
