We had a great time at this cottage, just what we wanted, a house in a very quite location but near the city of Canterbury with everything there, the house is very comfortable, loads of couches, a brand new kitchen, and the Hot tub was perfect we all set in in the morning and in the evening, we would love to come back soon.

We stayed at Keepers Cottage for two weeks with our two Retriever dogs. This was our second visit and there are many more to come! The garden is fully fenced which was perfect for the dogs to run free. The house has a conservatory with great views and we enjoyed it to have the first morning coffee there. Beds are comfy, kitchen with Nespresso coffee facilities perfect, also icecubes fresh from the freezer! You’ll find Gibson’s farmshop within a few miles for all you need and a amazing bakery nearby in a little hamlet. Many dog friendly pubs in the area. Thank you Bloom Stays for the very good service!

Plus points - Beautiful location, idyllic views and wonderful privacy. House itself super cosy and peaceful. Lovely modern kitchen. Few minus points - The bathroom shower could do with some freshening up + a lot of the furniture was covered with throws as it was stained/ had holes.The wifi as listed pretty slow/ do not expect to be able to stream Netflix etc. Overall great stay, just think for the price (esp in summer months) the property could do with a little updating (and better wifi) especially in comparison to other properties in that price point.

Keepers Cottage is a delightful place to stay. Although this is a three bedroom property it feels so spacious. The Orangery is amazing, comfy furniture that allows you to relax and view the large contained garden and the views over the countryside. The kitchen is modern and well equipped. The location of the property was great, a feeling of being in the countryside but not having to drive far to be in Canterbury. So happy to have stayed at Keepers, felt special.

This cottage is surrounded by lovely views and countryside . The gardens are spacious and fab for dogs . The house has all you need for a lovely stay and the orangery Room is a delight to sit in and watch the sun go down . The only thing I would strongly recommend is replacing the old uncomfortable couches and chairs in the property. Otherwise a delightful place to stay in Kent .

The setting of the cottage is delightful in a woodland clearing with footpaths right on the door step. The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of hot water (although the hair trap hadn’t been cleaned out). The kitchen was lovely, modern and well appointed. It would have felt more welcoming with some heating in when we arrived and maybe a welcome pack as we were gasping for a cup of tea. The oak beamed conservatory is a gorgeous space that is sadly lacking any heating other than a small fan heater. Not so much of a problem in summer. On a safety note we were surprised there was no handrail up the stairs which was a bit precarious for my 87 year old father in law. The overall decor and presentation of the cottage was lovely and we enjoyed our stay.
