Fabulous house! 5/5
This house was everything we hoped it would be and more, it ticked every box, it was spotlessly clean, had everything you could need and the location right on the beach was a real treat! To be able to walk through a gate in the back garden & be on the beach was very special, it made dog walking, even in November, an absolute pleasure.
The owners of the property have thought of everything, 2 brilliant ovens, 2 dishwashers, a fab fridge and loads of glasses, plates, cutlery etc even with 12 adults we never ran out. The beds were super comfortable and the social space of the kitchen diner was fab for our group, all the best parties are in the kitchen! We wouldnt hesitate to recommend this place and would definitely stay again.

Great stay at Greatstone 4.8/5
This was our second visit to Water's Edge as a family with ages from 2 to 76 plus Molly our dog. The house is amazing with large rooms and great communal areas. The kitchen and catering areas are superb and one evening we employed a chef who also was most impressed with the facilities. Great location for the beach and plenty of local restaurants in New Romney and further afield.
No hesitation in recommending.

This is the second visit for some of us and we loved it, yet again. We had two birthday celebrations and this is a great place to get together with the family. All of the kids loved the movie room and all of the adults loved the wine fridges.

Stunning house 5/5
Fabulous house and location right on the beach.
A very fun place for all ages with cinema room, table tennis etc.
Exceptionally equipped kitchen especially the ovens that really impressed the professional chef that we hired for my wifes birthday dinner.

Beautiful home and lots of fun 4.3/5
Gorgeous home in a unique landscape. We loved the garden with views over to France, and there are lots of games including table tennis and table football.
We stayed on a hot weekend so only comment is that AC might be a good addition for the summer months! It was very hot at night especially in the rooms where the blind didn't open (though we were given a heads up about this).
The kitchen and rooms are big and well equipped for large groups, and everyone was very comfortable overall. It was great having such a responsive team to answer our questions. We would stay again 🙂

Wow!! What an amazing house and you have thought of everything. It was the perfect place to celebrate my 60th Birthday with three generations of my family. I could not have asked for more and we will definitely be back.

An excellent well equipped house in lovely location 4.8/5
An excellent weekend spent celebrating an 80th birthday with four generations of the family in an amazing house. The house was well equipped for every generation and very well designed to cater for different activities at the same time. The garden is a bit difficult to negotiate, could do with a rail at the steep steps and an extra step up to the rear patio. Would definitely revisit.

Had a lovely weekend celebrating 80th Birthday with four generations. Beautiful home with everything you could possibly want for all generations. Beautiful views to wake up to and a view for all to enjoy. The wow factor for sure and some great memories made. Thank you for sharing your holiday home.

Fabulous property 5/5
As soon as you enter the front door the "wow" factor starts.
The cinema room is amazing. Enormous TV and comfy sofas.
The kitchen is probably bigger than most houses!
The first floor is beautifully set up with a lovely sea view.
The top floor bedroom is a masterpiece.
Everything is top spec, including 3 dishwashers, pots with built in thermometers, floor to ceiling, full width windows.
The attention to detail is incredible.
We were sad to leave and will definitely be back.

Family Holiday 4/5
Great house for a multigenerational family holiday. Lots of different spaces to spread out, as well as big enough spaces to be all together without feeling cramped. Very well equipped. Really good location, with direct access to the beach.
Would have been helpful to have a floorpan prior to arrival to help with planning where everyone would sleep.

fantastic property and location 4.7/5
We loved our stay here and the house was beautifully equipped to cater for all ages from 8 to 78. The sea views were stunning, the house really comfortable and spacious and thoughtfully equipped. Highly recommend if you are looking for a memorable stay for a large group.

Three generations came to Waters Edge to celebrate my 60th birthday and we have enjoyed every minute of it. The property is lovely to look at and no arguments over who gets what bedroom as they were all very comfortable and all the ensuites were very well used.
The property is not just style over substance - it is very well equipped with lots of tasteful touches which was all very much appreciated as we all love to cook and enjoy our nicely presented meals.
We will be returning to finish the football table tournament.

Group of 12 we stayed here for a long weekend. Beautiful house you have and we loved all the facilities. You have thought of everything to keep us entertained even on a rainy day. The heated floor downstairs is so lovely to get up to in the morning and the cinema room was perfect for snuggling up. We loved our stay. Thank you.

Water's Edge 5/5
This was an excellent choice of property for us ... a party of 11 with age range 7-79. Beautiful outlook, particularly from the main sitting room upstairs. There were plenty of areas to be together and good private space too. The house was clean and light and provided with everything you could possibly need! We didn't use the outside space as weather not suitable but the beach access was perfect .... so beach cricket, rounders and walks enjoyed! The cinema room was a useful standby for entertainment, especially for the children.
Everyone commented on how comfortable the beds were, with good quality bedding. Another plus was great showers and plenty of hot water for all.
We would definitely stay there again ..... and hope to!!!

What a wonderful house! We so enjoyed our time here with space to be together in comfort and lovely private space too. You have created such a special place and we really appreciate it. We are a family of 11 ranging from 7 to 79 with a daughter and nephew from NZ to celebrate a 50th birthday. We loved it so much, we are hoping to return in a couple of years for the next 50th.

Wow. What a fantastic property. We have been fortunate to have stayed in many different holiday homes over the years, this one is definitely a winner! Party of 12, 3 generations, 6 to 70 years celebrating Nannys 70th birthday, brilliant time had by all.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay! We were blessed with the most amazing weather to really enjoy the upstairs balcony and views from the bedroom and front room. The sunrise at Greatstone beach is incredible. Stunning house, one of the best we have stayed in. The interior and finishing touches are fab. Will recommend and would love to come back. We made use of the board games and outside seating and loved the cocktail bar!

Ideal house for our holiday both in terms of location and facilities. A very large house with superb views from the lounge and top bedroom. Very large kitchen/dining room and lounge with every modern facility. Beach exceptional and unspoilt and quiet.
Plenty to explore locally.
Blooms very helpful in all respects.

Thank you so much for our stay at Waters Edge. We have stayed in many holiday homes and this is by far our favourite. Our dog Molly loved the beach and the garden. Every single bit was our favourite part. 3 people feel asleep in the cinema room because it was so comfy whilst we were watching a movie. Thank you so much, love Kitty, Alex, PopPops & Family.

Parents 40th Wedding Anniversary. (10th - 13th Feb 2023) 3.5/5
We booked Water's Edge to celebrate my parents 40th wedding anniversary and we were the first family to stay in this unique property. Our family comprised of 10 adults, 4 children and 2 dogs. This property is aesthetically pleasing to the eye, both inside and outside. We loved the architecture of the property and the best feature was the view of the open sea from the 1st and 2nd floors. Additionally having a private beach on your doorstep for our family to use throughout the trip was great.
However, unfortunately there were areas of this property that did not meet the standards and costs to rent it. Firstly, I do not agree with the accommodation facilities in relation to the capacity for both adults and children that had been outlined on the Bloom Stays website and unfortunately the information does differ on the bloom stays website and airbnb. There are 5 king beds which accommodated 10 adults (2 per bed), it is stated that the property can accommodate up to 13 adults however this again does not seem accurate - and 1 room with two single children beds, accommodating 2 children. These twin beds cannot accommodate adults. The "sofa bed" cannot be deemed as an extra bed, as it was literally a plank of wood topped by a thin cushion which was extremely inconsiderate and unsafe for small children. There was also no additional bedding provided for the sofa bed, even though the number of adults and children were outlined when the booking was initially made.
Secondly, the second floor showers mostly provided cold showers, this caused a major inconvenience to my parents who were based on the second floor forcing them to use other showers downstairs. In addition to the cold water, the leaking bathtub on the second floor was also another issue that we had to deal with during our stay.
Overall I do believe this is a beautiful property however due to the issues which built up over the stay I was quite disappointed. As a customer paying for a service, there is a level of standard that we should expect as a minimum, which unfortunately was not met.

We had a wonderful weekend at Water's Edge - celebrating a 40th Birthday. The house was perfect! 4.8/5
We had a brilliant weekend celebrating a 40th birthday with family and friends. The house is beautiful with all the rooms being high spec and a real treat to stay in. The kitchen is amazing and well set for cooking for large groups. The open plan area on both the ground and first floor allow for multiple parties in one! The garden is small and not very private from the beach but the access to the latter could not be better. All in all - a fab house that we would love to go to again for the right occasion.
