In the Area


Situated near to the Dungeness Estate which is home to an unusual landscape. The headland on the south coast of Kent is formed largely of a shingle beach. The Dungeness reserve itself is set back from the sea, boasting mile after mile of open shingle, fresh water pits, wet grassland and stunning wildflower meadows. Dungeness is one of the best places for wildlife in the UK and designated as a Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a Natura 2000 site with plenty of walks to enjoy.

For train lovers amongst you, pick up the miniature steam trains that run from Hythe, New Romney and Dymchurch and stop off at Dungeness and climb the stairs to the top of the Lighthouse for a stunning 360 degree view of the area.

Gardeners may be aware that Derek Jarman’s House and garden is located at Dungeness and you are free to walk around and enjoy his planting and sculptures.

So whatever the season you can be sure to enjoy Dungeness and all it has to offer. Don't forget to bring your raincoat as the weather can be known to turn, and your camera to capture the wonderful sights on offer. You will soon discover why it is popular with wildlife enthusiasts, artists, and walkers. Oh... and make sure you visit the renowned Snack Shack at the Dungeness Fish Hut to pick up the daily catch to cook on the BBQ or enjoy a spot of lunch!

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!!!

Waters Edge 5/5

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.

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.
