Excellent Christmas stay
A wonderful stay for our family at Christmas. The house was well decorated, super festive and had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook the Christmas dinner. The games room and hot tub were such good additions and well enjoyed. It was great to have walking routes directly from the house and loved exploring the area. We will definitely consider the house again for any future family gatherings.

A fantastic weekend with friends
Title: A Fantastic Weekend Getaway with Friends
We stayed at this holiday home for the weekend with a group of friends, and it couldn’t have been better. The house was clean, spacious, and beautifully furnished — perfect for relaxing and spending time together.
We enjoyed the hot tub and games room.
The setting was peaceful and private, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
The kitchen was well-equipped, the beds were comfortable, and the living area was cozy and inviting. We enjoyed the use of the log burner.

Excellent stay with everything you could need!
Just returned from a fantastic 3 night stay at The Willows. There was everything we needed and more to make our stay perfect. The location of the house is amazing, great walks nearby and views. The owner even left various wines/chocolates/crisps for our stay.
The communication from the moment of booking to check out was excellent. Will definitely be booking with Bloom again!
Thank you xx

A great family getaway
Upon opening the gates into the courtyard it has the wow factor.
Four bedrooms, three with showers, fully modern kitchen, and large dinning table seating the eight of us.
The hot tub was used every day by our two grand- daughters along with a separate games room with pool table, dart board and video machines.
Every where we went was no more than 20/30 by car

Perfect family holiday
We enjoyed a marvellous stay at The Willows.
A veritable oasis of calm that felt private and remote, but just a short distance from surrounding towns.
The property was well-equipped, high-spec, and we wanted for nothing. The hot tub was great, and an indulgence in the height of summer! Most welcoming and hospitable hosts.
We'd love to stay again, and would highly recommend without reservation.

Excellent barn conversion in rural Kent
Very nice property. Enjoyed our time immensely. Just far enough back from main road you don’t get traffic noise.
Bus stop at end of lane is very handy to leave car at home.
Just a shame the walk into Sandwich is alongside a busy road.
Really appreciated all nice touches and bits and pieces left out for us. Kids loved the hot tub.
Would definitely recommend.

Brilliant trip for a very special birthday!
We booked the willows for my dad's 70th birthday and it could not have been a more special weekend! The house was absolutely beautiful! We were greeted by a thoughtful hamper of wine, local homemade bread and jam, totally unexpected but well received! The games room and hot tub were amazing, and had plenty of use. Overall a fabulous time was had by all, 100% recommend! We'd love to return next year!

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review, we are so pleased you had such a good stay. We look forward to welcoming you back to The Willows!
The Willows is a beautifully designed property, with lovely common parts - a great living area and well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, stylish decor and a stunning courtyard for summer living, with a great, warm and well maintained hot tub. Our teenage boys loved the granary games room.
It would benefit from a washing line to dry soggy shower mats from the open showers in the wet rooms, but other than that we couldn't fault it and intend to return.

Perfect stay
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 but other than that was well equipped. Beds were all comfortable and all bathroom facilities were great, the perfect shower and a lovely bath in the main bedroom. On arrival we were greeted with a basket of goodies including wine, Prosecco, and a delicious loaf, which was a nice touch. Friends that accompanied us enjoyed the art around the property too. The house was perfect we very much enjoyed our stay and I would like to move in now please!!

So pleased you had such a lovely stay and we hope to welcome you back soon! We will look into the points about the games room and make the adjustments where necessary of course. Best wishes.
