8/10 Good

Comfortable property but did not fully meet expectations

The property is very well appointed and kept clean. As a group of 6 adults and two toddlers we felt generally comfortable for most of our stay. We would have expected the heating and hot water to be working throughout our stay. Unfortunately, the heating and hot water failed twice during a four night stay. Fully recognise that the first failure was addressed quickly. The second failure was on the last night and too late to address. The property is accessed via a narrow country lane and is located outside of both Ash and Sandwich, and therefore relatively isolated.

Wonderful stay with friends

The Willows is a beautiful property. Beds very comfortable and everything is of the highest quality. Unfortunately the week we stayed the temperatures were record high and unbearable, so we spent most of our day chasing the shade around the garden. It was far too hot to go exploring. I would definitely recommend this property for a relaxing break.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Wonderful Family Getaway at The Willows, Kent!

What an absolutely beautiful place to spend a few days together as a family! ❤️ The Willows was everything we could have wished for and more! A stunning barn conversion, beautifully presented, immaculately clean and furnished to such a high standard, with so much attention to detail throughout. The accommodation was incredibly spacious and comfortable, with four gorgeous en-suite bedrooms, a fabulous fully equipped kitchen and wonderful living areas. The beautiful beams, exposed brickwork and cosy log burner gave the whole place such a warm, welcoming feel. The hot tub was a particular favourite and certainly got plenty of use, whatever the weather! The games room was another fantastic addition, providing hours of entertainment. The peaceful countryside setting was just perfect, yet ideally located for exploring the beautiful Kent coastline and nearby towns of Sandwich and Broadstairs. We enjoyed the most wonderful few days relaxing, making memories and spending quality time together. It really was a home from home, with every little detail carefully thought through. A huge thank you to Bloom Stays for such a wonderful experience. We genuinely couldn’t fault a thing and would return in a heartbeat! Highly recommended for a special family gathering or a relaxing countryside escape! ❤️

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.

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

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.

Beautiful countryside retreat!

Just returned home from a family break at The Willows in Ash. A stunning countryside property with just about everything you need for a family holiday. The welcome hamper was a lovely surprise and very much appreciated! The house was spotlessly clean and tastefully furnished with high quality appliances and furniture. We made much use of the fantastic hot tub and having the fluffy beach towels on hand too was a bonus. The detached games room was also good fun ! As the weather was glorious we ate al fresco under the delightful pergola in the courtyard each night. (Many thanks for the lovely fans too- much needed on the balmy nights) Only annoyances were the awful "bird scarer" type noise from the adjacent landlord's property. This was quite loud on and off throughout the day and woke us a few times. Also WiFi was only accessible in the lounge or courtyard area.

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.

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

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!

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.

Wonderful space for family holiday - with dogs!

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!!

Amazing

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!
