SEASIDE STAY
With so many gorgeous coastal locations right here in Kent, why waste your precious time in the car travelling (when you could be enjoying your first G&T on the terrace)? Think gorgeous holiday homes with stunning views overlooking the sea in Sandgate, Sandwich, Folkestone and Dungeness – for starters.

GOING AWAY WITH THE GANG
Whether it’s a big family get-together or you’re off on a girls’ weekender – look no further for your hand-picked selection of holiday homes that are perfect for larger groups. A friendly get-together or a super-special milestone needs a super-special place to be – check out their selection of Celebration Houses – all big enough so everyone can come along.

EXPERIENCE STAYS
Book with Bloom Stays and you can add an ‘experience’ or ‘up-skilling’ element to your break away. If it’s catering solutions – like meal deliveries, waiter-service dinner parties or a tablescaping experience from Beyond The Table (pictured above) – you got it! Fancy a pamper treatment, yoga or fitness session for your girlie weekend? No problemo!
What about a hamper of local food and drink delivered to your door? Or someone to host a pop-up cocktail bar, or your own cocktail box? Maybe you need some birthday balloons or flowers? Or you want to treat yourself and order a hot tub to your holiday home? Or try something new – like Laughter Yoga (yup, it’s a thing). So long as you make your request in advance Nicky and Rowena love to marry up your requests with a local business who shares their values and delivers something extra special to you.
SPOTLIGHT ON… The Old Post Office, Dargate
CONNECTING WITH NATURE
Fancy a break that gets you away from it all, in a stunning rural setting, far from the madding crowds (although near enough if you want to visit the local sights…)? Check out the gorgeous rural retreats on offer through Bloom Stays – plus their brand new shepherd huts in Egerton.

ROMANTIC BREAK
Fancy a break à deux? ‘Course you do! Grab your other half, and explore the Kent or East Sussex coastline – or what about a cultural break in the city of Canterbury? You can find a selection of gorgeous two bed properties, all in a few clicks. To pass the Bloom Stays bar of excellence, the house must be lovely – but so must the setting. Book yourself a baby-sitter pronto!

PAWFECT FOR POOCHES

So take a walkie this way for some properly perfect four-paw houses…
