The Oast and cottages were just lovely. Quant, cute and typical English feel to them.
The communication from start to finish was amazing. The housekeeper, was particularly easy to communicate with and was very helpful and friendly.
Would definitley recommend and will be looking to book another one of Blooms properties.

We had a very comfortable stay, the cottage was clean and well equipped. We were lucky with the weather, enjoyed the pool and tennis court.
4.9
The whole family loved the pool and enjoyed the tennis court.
Using the cottages for 4 people means that 2 people in the attic look down on the 2 below.
The Wi-Fi in Oast did not work. We said this but it was not made good as promised. (This is trivial)
The family loved it and would book again.
The online listing did not say how good the pool is.

I booked this for a weekend break with my friends to celebrate my 50th birthday. The house and the cottages are beautiful, they have all the amenities you could need. What made the weekend for us was the swimming pool, we literally spent the whole day in and around the pool.
I would highly recommend this property and the hosts!

Very clean and the grounds were superb..
There were 17 of us but plenty of room across the 3 houses(the oast & 2 cottages) bonus of 3 kitchens for the big birthday dinner on the Saturday night
Grounds were well kept and very tidy
We are thinking about booking again it was such a great place

Fabulous weekend
We booked out the house and cottages for a family celebration and could not have asked for a more perfect weekend. Mandy the housekeeper was very helpful throughout our experience.
Set in the most picturesque countryside offering beautiful walks and lazy Summers days by the pool.
My family also enjoyed the tennis courts and BBQ areas.
This place is kept clean and beautiful which is just how we left it.
We will defiantly book again
Thank you Bloom Stays for finding this little gem hidden in the Kent countryside.
The only downside are the roads leading to the house... you need to be a confident driver to travel on these country lanes which very often are only for one car.

Fantastic Stay, perfect idyllic location!
I arrived here for my sisters hen weekend, we stayed at both Plum and Cherry Cottage.
Both cottages were clean, well equipped and had a comfy relaxed feel.
Mandy was extremely lovely and welcoming checking that had settled ok and answered any questions we had.
The pool was lovely and warm to use!
Such lovely views surrounding with walks and countryside. We were able to have such a great time! It’s also a great location for any get together or family holiday! I would defiantly recommend it to anyone, as would the girls who stayed also!

Winter escape
We could not have wished for a better place for a uk get away. The cottages and oast house could easily accommodate all 15 of us and two dogs with loads of room to chill out or get competitive on the tennis court!
The place was very clean and well equipped with cooking things ready to host a big dinner party on the weekend.
We found a wonderful Walk from the bottom of the garden that ended up at a nearby local pub.
Would definitely come back here!

Excellent venue for family gathering
We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night break in Great Higham Oast and cottages. All accommodation was well equipped and spotlessly clean.
We were a family group ranging from 12 to 67 years old. The two older couples stayed in the cottages (for a bit of peace and quiet if required) and joined the rest of the family in the Oast during the day.
We could not find any information on how to control the heating and we found the bedrooms a bit too warm at night time, but it did not spoil our stay. I was aware who could be contacted if any problems arose but I did not feel that was necessary.
I hope all properties with Bloom Stays are as good as this one because I will certainly be looking with them for future bookings.

Lovely Place
We had the Oast House plus the 2 cottages. Lovely places. Pool and tennis court a great bonus, beds really comfy. Would happily stay again.

Perfect retreat for our family
We booked the Last and both cottages for our extended family consisting of 10 adults, 7 teenagers and 1 toddler (and 2 dogs) and the properties were perfect for our long awaited (due to COVID) family get together.
We had two families stating in the Past house which is beautiful and so well equipped with everything we needed. All the plates/cups, kitchen equipment you could want (including a washing machine and the much needed dishwasher). The two cottages were perfect for the two families of 4 that occupied them and were equally well appointed.
We had perfect sunshine for the entire 5 days and spent days playing tennis and swimming in the heated pool ( given how warm the weather was it was actually too warm but would have been lovely had the weather been cooler). Because of how perfect the place was other than a walk through the corn fields to the local pub (about 20mins) we didn't leave the property except for shopping at the Sainsbury's which is about 15mins away in Sittingbourne.
A perfect retreat for our family get together and have already booked for next year.
Customer service from Bloom was brilliant and answered all our questions before we arrived.
Thank you!

A perfect stay!
If you’re looking for a peaceful, beautiful, clean, and spacious stay, with plenty of comfy beds, a heated pool and lovely walks, then look no further. 5 of us stayed (in separate rooms) and there was more than enough space for everyone. The value for money was undeniably excellent, and we’ll most certainly be back to stay again!

An amazing setting With comfort and space.
We have just stayed Monday to Friday and had a great break. The properties are well equipped and offer lots of space for all the family. The swimming pool was lovely and warm and the tennis court was such a bonus and provided extra fun.
The beds are really comfortable and the bathrooms are modern and the shower had an amazing pressure.
If you want privacy from your stay with great nearby attractions then this is the place.
Thank you for organising this lovely place.
