Sea Spray Cottage by Bloom Stays - a holiday let that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

10/10 Excellent

"Sea Spay is simply a fabulous place to stay. The location is perfect, with unrivalled views across the Channel from the cottage and its lovely patio. The cottage is extremely comfortable and well equipped, with a stylish nautical theme throughout. We particularly appreciated the thoughtful touches, including cushions and blankets for sitting outside and enjoying the sea views. Even the powerful shower has a wonderful view out to sea! There was plenty of helpful information about the local area, too. It is the perfect place either to relax and enjoy the immediate surroundings or to use as a base for exploring other parts of Kent. My mum and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it."

"Wow what a fabulous cottage. We ve been coming to Sandgate to stay with friends for 30 years. This year was a surprise birthday party . I’ve always seen this row of cottages on my walks by the sea and was determined to stay in one as it’s such an idyllic spot. It was absolutely perfect in every way. We will definitely be staying here again . ❤️"

Coastal garden flat with parking. Pet friendly! Only 2 minutes from the beach!

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely flat, beautifully furnished and decorated, well equipped and spotlessly clean. Lots of 'extras' such as toiletries, hand cream, books, games etc. Suspect the owners use it for holidays themselves as it feels like a much loved home."
