Fabulous historic house in an amazing location. Everything we needed was provided. Plenty of space for our family of four. Bloom Stays were very helpful with my last minute booking.

Excellent stay
Wonderful place with great access to the beech and the Pilot pub, beds were a little soft for my liking but that is very subjective taste, only regret is that I wasn't able to stay longer, will definitely be returning in the future.

A great place to stay!
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 our stay
Was perfect for our family of six. Especially enjoyed the board games!
There isn’t a door to the bedroom upstairs, if that is something you need.

Restfull stay by the coast
Very pleasant and relaxing stay in a well equipped place, nothing really within walking distance apart from the beach and the Pilot pub, which are both very welcome. One note is that the drive from the road to the house could be in better condition but as long as you go slowly shouldn't be an issue with any car in good condition.

Cosy Birthday Weekend in Incredible Dungeness
I booked the stunning Watch Tower for my mum's 60th birthday weekend and was not disappointed. Beautifully decorated and styled, making it so cosy and comfortable.
A well equipped kitchen with everything we could need to make dinner and breakfast, plenty of space around the dining table for all five of us. Bedrooms was clean and comfortable, with nothing but positive reviews from my mum who stayed in the double room at the of the house!
The location was fantastic - the Dungeness Estate literally a stones throw from the house, perfect for walks to take in the dramatic scenery. Beautiful Rye is just 20 minutes down the road, perfect for food, drinks, exploring and stocking up on supplies!
We definitely will be staying again soon!!

great location, lovely cottage, could be more comfortable
We know Dungeness well, and were very happy with the location. Its a lovely, characterful cottage, as expected. Beds comfy. However there were a few things that really let it down.
The owners hadn't turned on the heating prior to our arrival (they thought they had, but hadn't; we think they had done so remotely, but all the heaters were off manually at the wall?). It took best part of a day to heat up so was pretty chilly. (We only heat our own place to 17 degrees, so we don't expect loads of heat).
The lack of quite a few curtains, and inner doors, was a shame. We did feel a little exposed from some windows at night, and the lack of bedroom door on the main bedroom was unnerving for an insomniac!
The bath is tiny. We can live with that. But there wasn't enough hot water from the immersion to fill it, so this meant having to fill pans of water - this took ages, not least because there are only two large pans (fine for us - we couldn't have cooked easily for our family though). The bath overflow isn't plumbed in - so when we filled the bath with a few kettles to make it tolerable, some of the water came straight out on the floor.

Family weekend
The house is in a quiet location, unfortunately the building works are outside the kitchen window and were noisy. This will be ongoing as the next door house build is nowhere near finished.
The watch tower looks amazing in the pictures but was really disappointing on arrival. The patio is old, and very weedy with random empty flower pots and a very overgrown garden. Not looked after at all. The fence is broken and leaning into the Next Door neighbours garden. The entry door had a boarded up catflap. Not a great first impression. The house is clean but is old and needs updating, they have removed all the radiators and replaced with electric heating but left all of the pipes that were connected to the radiators. There’s bits of laminate floor missing, and when you’re cooking, if anyone uses the toilet, you can hear them because it’s only a sliding door between the toilet and the kitchen. The bath is a small sized bath so that means the shower is quite compact. The kitchen hot tap only had warm water under very low pressure so unable to wash anything that couldn’t go in the dishwasher without boiling the kettle. We were unable to use the conservatory as it was boiling and you can’t open the windows as they are locked and there is no key and you could only open one of the doors as the other one was unopenable. The furniture in the conservatory is old on the plus side the house was clean. And the kitchen had everything you needed, even very out of date tea bags! We had a lovely day Dungeness is a great place to explore, we watched seals in the sea and the snack shack was delicious. The pilot Inn was good fun as very busy and nice fish and chips. The steam train was excellent fun but the house was definitely a disappointment.
