Plumcot Halt by Bloom Stays - sleeps 2 in 1 bedroom

We had an amazing week at Plumcot Halt: * Accommodation was modern, comfortable, exceptionaly clean & had everything you needed for self-catering. The garden area is beautiful, & tranquil. * Hosts are the most welcoming, friendly & helpful couple that you could ever wish to meet, nothing is too much trouble should you need to ask for hints & tips on the local area, while at the same time making you feel like you're staying in your own private little world. * The location is quite & great for exploring Canterbury & everything around it. * We wouldn't hesitate in recommending & we would definitely stay here again when we're next in the area.

Quirky property, very well equipped and fitted out with everything you could need and more. The bed was particularly comfortable. Host welcoming and helpful. Quiet location near bus routes to city centre and elsewhere.

As outstanding as the accommodation and location are it's very important to say, parking access was not suitable for our low slung car and it grounded out. The host, on hand, acted with swiftness and found a solution, however, if we returned we'd contact the hosts first to ascertain if an alternative parking plan was possible prior to arrival. Hosting was fantastic and although the carriage is in a garden, accessed via a side gate, it felt very private and had its own garden area. I had been concerned, it being February the carriage might be a bit chilly. This was not the case, the radiator in the living area offering plenty of heat. We didn't use the wood burning stove. Linen, towels and crockery were of high quality. The modern, short, slipper bath was lovely and there was always hot water. There was enough storage for clothing, with extra underbed storage too. We used the underbed storage to tidy away the extra blankets and decorative cushions. We didn't cook, eating out all the time - so much choice within Canterbury, (do book) but the kitchen was well planned and offered full size fridge with ice box, oven, hob, microwave and large sink. There was also space and seating to allow the worktop to be used as a desk area. The seating offering in the main living/sleeping area was slightly different to that in the photos - no sofa and two tub chairs. Chair placement would have made watching TV challenging. Watching from in bed/resting against the bedhead, felt too far from the screen. It truly was a perfect stay for the city of Canterbury and all it had to offer.

Excellent stay, very welcoming hosts, and comfortable accommodation, well equipped, clean and tidy, I would recommend this accommodation.
