A wonderful luxurious large family home sleeping 12 with a huge garden and a swimming pool

Bowden Lodge is a great property for a group booking. It was rather tricky to find with the instructions provided, it might be a good idea to provide additionally what3words location finder. The beds were comfortable and the living space is exceptional. The aga was not on / working but there is a second kitchen that you can cook in, it's just less social cooking. The property could also benefit from more shoe space / coat rails. A boot room would be ideal. Was great to have a games room and the kids could be desperate from the adults. We enjoyed games time all together though,a lot of fun. Finally the 2 of the showers had errors on the electric shower function. Instructions on how to use and fix the showers would be beneficial. Overall a super lovely stay and we worked around any faults mentioned above. It didn't prevent us having fun!

We had a very nice few days, and were very comfortable, this is the second time that we stayed here. We noticed this time how tired the house is looking, the pool table needs a recover, two of the showers didn’t work, the heating in the games room didn’t work, we couldn’t use one of the toilets. When I contacted the maintenance lady, she was very good, she helped me get one of the showers working and called a plumber out to sort the heating. I was impressed with her help, but there was just two meany things wrong in the first place.

The house is absolutely magnificent, the perfect house, garden and setting for a large group/family. Can't fault it, the house is a great size, there were12 adults and a dog in our group and we had plenty of space. Everything was amazing, we had the best time. Walkable to some amazing pubs and the beach. Already booked to go back again next year.

Excellent

We stayed at Bowden Lodge for my birthday celebration and it was just perfect. There were 9 adults, 1 child and 3 dogs and it never felt like we were getting on top of each other as the house was so big. There is everything you need for a short stay and the separate dining room was a definite plus. The gardens were lovely and secure and the swimming pool a huge hit with everyone especially as the water was very warm. We spent some time at the beach which is 10 mins away and also some time in Deal which is lovely. Would definitely book this house again

Large, spacious and comfortable. Downstairs bedroom and bathroom big bonus for elderly mother with limited mobility. Well equipped kitchens with everything you need.We had 2 small dogs who loved the garden and the walks around the local area. Location is great. Everyone had a wonderful time. Would definitely recommend and go back

We spent a long weekend at Bowden Lodge to celebrate my birthday and there was plenty of space for the whole family. The kitchen was well equipped, bathrooms, furnishings and decor were all very stylish and yet homely. The games room with the pool table was a great asset and well used by my grown up grandchildren but it also had plenty there for young children. The garden is large and we found a great space for playing cricket and football or just sitting on the terrace having a cup of coffee. We were extremely lucky as even though it was early April the sun shone the whole time, unfortunately too early for the swimming pool. We lit the log burner in the evenings and played charades and other games and even managed one evening to have a takeaway delivered. The beach is a very short walk away, we didn’t venture any further but as Kent residents we know of all the great places to visit in the area. We were all sad to leave but agreed the best weekend ever in a beautiful house.

We had a really great time at Bowden Lodge. Well-equipped kitchen and perfect location, with lots of places to chill inside and outside the house. Lovely pool area, wish we'd been there in summer! The double beds are rather small, if you're sharing one, but otherwise the furnishings were comfortable and pretty and the house was lovely and clean! Would recommend as a great place to get away with a big group of friends.

Sadly, our original 11 people was whittled down to 7, so we almost had a bedroom each! Lovely house with.. would like to see it in the summer!

What a fabulous place - loads of space, tastefully furnished and decorated The swimming pool was an absolute winner with the children (some of the adults too) Everyone had a great time - would definitely recommend Bowden Lodge - can’t fault it in any way A brilliant time was had by all!

Bowden Lodge was just a brilliant place to stay with our family. The house is stunning and seems to go on and in when you first enter it with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The pool (table) and the (swimming) pool ‍♀️ being to of the hits with both the kids and the adults. The accommodation was clean and tidy and well maintained with bedding, towels (both shower and pool/beach) and all cooking items there. If you are looking for a UK seaside (less then 10 min walk to beach) holiday this house is a great choice. Even on a bad weather day there is plenty to do and entertain everyone in the house and on better days the pool and grounds make a perfect holiday location without the need to have to leave the grounds. Having said that the beach (stoney!) Is less then 10 minute walk with several pubs in Highcliffe in a similar distance. You can also access Deal with a 10 minute car ride and Dover is also close if you need more to do! One word of caution, and this may well be just our sat-nav, it is advisable to not use the postcode and be aware the drive is off Queensdown Road. This did not however distract from a truly lovely week for us all.

We have just had a lovely family weekend stay at Bowden Lodge. The house is very spacious, well furnished and clean and it accommodated our 12 family members plus small dog very comfortably. The children loved the swimming pool - which was heated - as well as playing ball games in the large garden. All in all an ideal house for all ages and the very sunny weather made it even more special for us! Thank you,

We had a wonderful time at Bowden Lodge. We were a mixed aged (8 to 75 years) family group away for a weekend to celebrate our Golden Wedding. The children all loved the pool, as did the adults, the games room was very popular and we had some wonderful games of croquet in the grounds. The house is very well equipped, very spacious and nicely furnished. We had lovely weather (to be expected in early June) and so were able to eat out both days which was lovely. We put the BBQ provided to good use. All in all it was a great weekend.
