About Bloom Stays
Co-founded by Rowena Owen and Nicky Russon, Bloom Stays is an independent holiday letting agency based in Canterbury, Kent. We now have 140+ holiday homes available throughout Kent and Sussex, each one remarkable in its own way.
It may have a pool, a breathtaking view, an orchard in the garden or its own vineyard. It could be in the middle of Canterbury or on the beach at Dungeness; it could be found in the woods in the Ashdown Forest or in the rural Weald of Kent. Bloom Stays is looking for the individual, the unique and the unforgettable.
