The Kennels by Bloom Stays - sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

Booked this accommodationn last minute as a birthday treat for my 86 year old mum. She opened the gate to the garden and beamed. It has a gorgeous walled garden with very comfortable outdoor furniture and is a real suntrap in the afternoons so would recommend if you have a dog. The house was spotlessly clean, the beds very comfortable and lovely to be able to make up a fire to sit around and watch a film in the evenings. Parking is next to the property and very secure. Location was ideal for visits to Doddington gardens and Mount Ephraim gardens if they are of interest to you as they are only a few minutes away and nearby fish and chip shop delivers. You can hear the motorway when sitting outdoors but after a while it almost becomes white noise and you can't hear it inside the house. Highly recommend.

This was the second time we stayed in the Kennels. We had a lovely time. Everything you could need for a lovely holiday was available

Very good equipped house with lovely enclosed garden. Without the following points of critique definitely a five star rating. Two points of critique: 1) There should have been a sound barrier between the M2 and the house to my opinion. The bushes simply don't cut the blocking on their own. We knew in advance the proximity of the highway but we did expect more measures would have been taken to bring down noise levels. I know it is impossible to make the noise completely disappear, but bringing it down by a certain amount of decibels would make using the garden more enjoyable. 2) There are indeed surveillance cameras on the premises. What I do not appreciate is that the warning sign is not directly visible on entry (near front or back door?) but one must accidentally run into it as it is put up at the side of the house. There was to my knowledge no mentioning of them whilst booking our stay. Recommendation to the owner: Please invest in smart light bulbs (like IKEA ones) to be able to dim the ceiling lights. The warm dimmed lights near the coach and luxury sitting chairs are totally overcast by the enormous bright ceiling lights. Which is a real shame as with some proper lightning the living space could be a pleasant place to spend the evening.

We had a wonderful time in the Kennels, the house is beautiful and well equipped, even better than the photo’s online

Great stay for us and our dogs ( very secure and peace of mind garden) property deceptively spacious and peaceful. Don’t be put off by proximity of the road.

Very attractive, comfortable, well equipped home. Wonderful walled, lawned garden for dogs and humans to enjoy. Well situated for pretty villages and Faversham.

Beautiful property presented in immaculate condition with all the mod cons for a very comfortable stay. The walled garden was a lovely place to hang out for some fresh country air, even on a chilly October day.

Very modern, beautifully furnished home. A lot of space. We absolutely loved it! Also nice and helpfull neighbours. The noise of the high way is present in the garden, but not in the house.

We booked a week stay whilst having some home improvements and the Kennels was just what we were looking for! The beds were very comfortable, the garden was gorgeous and the roses smelt amazing. Good location from Faversham too, as it’s not too far. Neighbours are absolutely lovely! My only slightly negative feedback - the hot water is insanely hot, there are stickers to warn you, but I was super worried about my 4 year old scolding himself accidentally. The other was there were a lot of ants in the property! We kept the place free of food but it didn’t help. I’m also sure if I had mentioned both these things at the time of the stay Bloom/Julie would have rectified. Thanks so much again, a great home from home stay.

Lovely property. Well thought out hosting and nice touches (like milk, coffee, board games & Netflix). We were super comfortable, quiet and relaxing. Directions made it easy to find, although could have done with the directions being sent in all comms to avoid them being missed. If the garden furniture was moved to the top right hand side of the garden it would get the sun through to late in the evening. Coffee machine was a little tricky to figure out, and could have done with some instructions. Thanks so much for the stay
