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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Perfect for active families
A gem of a property in a beautiful location. Amazing swimming pool and extensive grounds where the kids could play safely. Absolutely superb. Beaches a short drive away and Canterbury centre is definitely worth a visit for the Cathedral and shopping.

A lovely stay at Honeywood Lodge - great family trip to Canterbury
A lovely family holiday home with great facilities and in a great location. Really private / secluded and had the whole of the grounds to ourselves. In terms of feedback - the blinds in the upstairs bedrooms were in a bad state and became a bit of an issue when trying to get the room dark enough for young children to sleep in, the gaps in the blinds meant that light poured in from 5am. We also struggled slightly with the pool temperature - it was manageable for adults but the kids were unable to stay in there for more than 15 minutes because it was too cold. We followed all instructions and kept the covers on over night and when not in use but it didn't seem to warm it up enough. Other than that, we had a lovely stay.

Wonderful stay!
We loved our time at Honeywood Lodge. Kitted out with everything we needed (including multiple fans during the mini-heatwave), we had a wonderful stay. The lodge was incredibly clean and the pool area was a wonderful added bonus. Can’t wait to visit again in future.

Lovely Family Stay
We had such a lovely break as we stayed at the beautiful Honeywood Lodge in Canterbury! The place has a beautiful green space, but also a game room and can accommodate 6 people. The bedrooms were so nicely decorated and we enjoyed the space for the day. We really enjoyed having a private pool for the day and we made the most of it. Honeywood Lodge is such a beautiful location in a quiet spot of Canterbury. We loved being in the garden. The rooms in the loft were spacious and light. The bed was super comfy and the living room space is also big enough to relax with your family. Thanks to Bloom Stays for making sure we were happy with the house. Really good customer service!
