Outstanding property

Absolutely beautiful property! Spacious grounds, thoughtfully equipped, very well maintained. The pool area was wonderful and warm, and seems to have been recently refurbished. The local pub appears to have closed but it was only a short drive to nearby towns.We enjoyed a very peaceful stay here, thanks a lot.

A memorable getaway with my family

Honeywood Lodge is a pleasant hideaway with ame parking and walk paths. The accommodation is clean, comfortable and within reach of Canterbury High Street. The heated swimming pool was a must have bonus. Had a lovely time with my family. Will definitely do it again.

Hineywood lodge

Brilliant pool, whole family really loved it. Property functional, but very hot especially at night. Fans supplied, but not easiest to use. Cleanliness inside quite good, but outside balconies needed sweeping badly and clearly not done recently, which would have expected before our arrival.. No phone reception in Property but was aware of this before arrival, was great could use WhatsApp to contact bloom stays as we had issue with washing machine, and they dealt with it very quickly, great service, even though I am still awaiting my deposit refund. We would definitely recommend this property and bloom stays. Thank you.

Wow! Amazing space & grounds

Fabulous pool - with the Bi-folds open, sun out - could have been in The Med! So easy having the pool connected to the lodge. Huge grounds to explore and play football/games. Superb quiet location - great WiFi too.

Wonderful start to Summer Holidays

Exactly as described. The pool was perfect and the kids loved it. Even had a picnic in the grounds while they played football. Cannot wait to come back.

Lovely stay at Honeywood Lodge

We had a lovely stay at Honeywood Lodge. It is close to London and ideal for small families with kids as the accommodation is not too big but with the huge benefit of a private indoor pool. The property was clean, well appointed and easy to access. There were one or two hitches like the microwave not working and the mattresses could be more comfy but overall a brilliant stay.

Peace and Space but heating controls difficult to master. Bloom’s provided excellent support.

Wandering around the private grounds, playing football and swimming whenever we liked were standouts. Location ideal for visiting Kent’s attractions. Bloom’s help outside hours was perfect, thank you.

Lovely peaceful break

Honeywood lodge was well equipped for everything you could need. Pool was a little on the cold side but didn’t stop the kids from spending most of their time in there.

Fun family getaway

Property is lovely with the huge added benefit of a private heated pool which we could use whenever we wanted. This was a huge hit for our children in addition to the games room. The living area was adequate with the required necessities. The location of the property is incredibly peaceful but supermarkets and Canterbury are within easy reach by car.

A cosy and luxurious stay with sole access to the pool!

The property is rurally located off a lane, yet close to Canterbury for quick access to sites and amenities. Coming from London, we appreciated being able to see the stars. The owner's property is next door, but we didn't see anyone for the weekend we stayed, so we felt we had the place to ourselves! It was a real treat to access the pool directly from the property without having to go outside and use it whenever we wanted. The pool temp was better than expected given energy costs these days! Facilities like the pool, showers, WCs, bathrooms, were all modern, well-maintained and spotlessly clean. Essentials were provided, like tea, coffee, milk, sugar, detergent. The sofas were extremely comfortable and there were plenty of blankets to be cosy. The furniture generally seemed to be more of a premium quality. There are also well-maintained grounds with a football goal that would have been great in warmer weather. We had a wonderful stay and would be happy to return.

Lovely getaway

Our family enjoyed our visit to Honeywood Lodge, and look forward to returning soon. Our son loves swimming, so we made good use of the pool daily. The grounds are lovely, secluded and quiet (excited to hear an owl on our last night!). As we have young children, the absence of a washer was not ideal for a week’s stay, but we made it work. Excellent communication throughout,

Wonderful weekend break

We had a wonderful stay at Honeywood Lodge with our young family. Everything was accommodated for and my children loved the use of the fantastic private indoor pool. We were incredibly lucky with the weather which allowed us to enjoy the large garden to its full extent. A great property that we have already recommended and cannot wait to book our next stay!

Fantastic holiday property - facilities are amazing

I would strongly recommend this property for families looking for a holiday house that will keep them entertained. The pool was fabulous - warmer than we'd expected and big enough for laps or playing. If our visit had been in summer the bi-fold and balcony would have been lovely. The games space was much used and the grounds are fantastic. Check in was easy. The house was clean, although the cleaning products had been left out on the living space floor which i think was an oversight. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and eating and i could see useful extras like baby-baths and highchairs had our children been younger. The location requires a car but as long as you have one is a lovely setting. Canterbury is a short drive away along with a choice of coastal towns. Kent has a host of historic sites to visit which all kept us well occupied. We would be very happy to come back here again - a wonderful holiday had by all!

Special place

Well the pool room is amazing, as are the garden and extensive private grounds. The owners big house is joined onto the property, but they are not in residence. And the property carers were very quick to sort out a hot water issue that we had. The pool is of course the reason to visit, but water cold enough that we would have enjoyed it even more in our wetsuits :-) We stayed for 10 days but unfortunately didn't check that there's no washing machine, so can recommend The Canterbury Laundrette if you don’t happen to bring enough underwear for your holiday! As for the surroundings, then Dover Castle is a must-visit, as is a walk along Whitstable beach, and checking out the Shell Grotto in Margate. All in all, we loved our stay at Honeywood Lodge and highly recommend it as a short break.

Wonderful swimming pool and location

We had a wonderful short break in Honeywood Lodge. The pool is amazing!!! The grounds were beautiful and we loved our walks. The games area was a great touch and the lodge would suit couples and families offering different entertainment for all. Such a small thing to mention but was disappointed with bedding was not ironed in the two upstairs bedrooms and looked untidy upon arrival. When you are paying for a top quality place to stay you expect everything to be clean and tidy. This would not stop me from staying again as we loved the pool so much.
