Beautiful space in tranquil location
The Bull Pen has everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The space is absolutely beautiful, tastefully done and to a very high standard. The garden is spacious and not overlooked and there are some lovely walks in the area. The location is perfect for exploring Kent by car. Jane and Trevor were very accommodating hosts. I definitely hope to return one day.

The Bull Pen - An absolute wonderful find in the heart of the Kent countryside!
We had a fantastic stay at The Bull Pen. It's a clean, modern and spacious property situated within wonderful surroundings. As we stayed during Christmas, the underfloor heating was most welcome and the beds were very comfortable. The complimentary Christmas Panettone was a lovely touch! There is also an adjoining property with the same layout, which have interconnecting gardens. We will defintley book again and whole experience with Bloom Stays was great. Thank you.

Stylish accommodation in a peaceful, tucked away location
This was our second stay at The Bull Pen. The accommodation continues to be modern, airy and spacious and equipped with everything you need for a short break.
We love the quiet location, surrounded by countryside, but only a couple of miles from the main road making exploring Kent and East Sussex very accessible.
Would highly recommend this property!

Idyllic stay in a high quality property
We loved our stay at The Bull Pen - beautifully appointed accommodation in a tranquil setting but convenient enough to explore the local area. We booked the property as we had a family celebration to attend nearby but would love to return for longer to be able to explore the area more fully. Highly recommended!
Very nice place, spotless with everything you need. Finished to a high standard, the owners have clearly worked hard putting this together.
Thoroughly recommend.

Disappointing Stay – Poor Cleanliness and Overpowering Scent
We were extremely disappointed with the cleanliness and presentation of this accommodation. On arrival, the property was dusty and cobwebby throughout with spiders in nearly every corner of the rooms. It was apparent that it had not been dusted properly for a long time. The main living area floor appeared unswept, and the bathroom was particularly unhygienic, with faeces and hair left on the toilet. These issues were serious enough that the owner had to attend in person to address them.
The bedrooms were overwhelmed by a strong, artificial floral scent that caused headaches and discomfort. After searching for plug-in air fresheners or automatic diffusers, we discovered the smell was coming from the laundry detergent used on the bedding. It was so overpowering that it made the rooms unpleasant to sleep in.
While we understand that welcome gifts are not obligatory, the absence of even a basic provision, such as a pint of milk, felt unwelcoming. Additionally, the welcome/information folder was not visible on arrival and had to be located by searching through drawers and cupboards.
Overall, the experience fell far short of expectations. Cleanliness and comfort should be a given, and unfortunately, this property did not meet either standard.
