Great Stay

Perfect location, close to amenities. The house is beautifully done, with a very minimal lay out. The weather was torrential most of the weekend, but with a house like this it could be enjoyed no matter the weather.

Dungeness never fails to delight, with it's moody weather and fantastic landscape

North Vat is in a amazing location, with stunning views of the sea and surrounding area. The building is minimalist but comfortable and designed so that you where ever you position yourself you have can see the glory that is Dungeness.

Beautiful and stunning views from this property

North Vat is a fabulous property in a fantastic position on Dungeness, an absolute gem of a place to totally escape every day life! We loved being cosy in the house, great log fire and looking out onto the stark desert / perfect evening. Bring everything you need and snuggle down, warm and welcoming place, all mod cons.

Perfect stay at North Vat

Our stay at North Vat was fantastic! The space is absolutely incredible, with so much natural light pouring in during the morning - truly a beautiful way to start the day. The design is thoughtful and stylish, making it a really special place to stay. The only small downside was that the kitchen drawers were a little tricky, and we did catch our fingers a few times. But that’s a minor detail in an otherwise amazing experience. We will definitely be back - it's such an incredible space! Highly recommend for a unique and inspiring getaway.

a weekend in april

north vat is a beautiful property which my guests and i enjoyed staying in. there were six people staying at the house,which is probably two too many,and everyone loved the design and the location. every window is like a picture postcard and watching the weather and sky changing around you one of the highlights of the stay.

Perfect location

North Vat is in such an excellent location. Stylish bright house,( you definitely need the eye masks), well equipped, a great house for exploring the area. The gorgeous big windows bring the outside in, whatever the weather. We had typical mixed British weather & it was so great to watch from the comfort of the house. Highly recommend.

Magic

Three nights at North Vat and we left feeling calm, at peace and just a little sad. A beautiful house where every window frames a different view of magical Dungeness. We'ed like to go back – soon!

Wonderful North Vat

A property and location that triggers all the senses. The design consideration given to its surroundings is wonderful. So much light and movement throughout the day draws you to many changing views as the daylight shifts through the property. Walking out along the Dungeness estate offers lots of different architecture to admire and draws you into researching the local history, which is easily done through the considerate small collection of books in the house. Nearby are Rye and Camber, different offerings for those seeking the charms of a quaint town or a stroll on a long sandy beach, we enjoyed both! The house is excellently equipped with all you could think of needing during a short stay. The feeling of total relaxation was easily achieved over a few days at North Vat and we hope to return again later in the year.

North Vat

We absolutely love Dungeness and really pushed the boat out to stay in one of its premium rentals. The house and location is great. It is stylish and well equipped. The lack of a second blind in the bedroom nearest the sea is strange and does not afford privacy. On arrival there were very dirty fingerprints on the downstairs shower room door and scuffs to the paint work up the staircase and in the mezzanine bedroom which was disappointing. The WiFi is woefully slow and quite frankly unacceptable by today’s standards. There had been adequate coverage elsewhere on the estate and 4G just outside the door! Living room curtain covering dirty and frayed. The above niggles did not represent the quality expected for such a high rental price.

Not Completely Suitable for Disabled or Mobility Issues

The house was in a fantastic location, with a clear uninterrupted view of the English Channel, sunrise and sunsets. The garden was lovely, and the interior comfortable and clean. We had some issues and have a few suggestions for future (as we would love to stay again). The downstairs wet room, could do with some handrails, and the shower seat should really be a fold down one fixed to the wall, as this would be much safer than the free standing stool (which my elderly parents did not trust to have a shower). The other big issue, is the bottom stair, this is quite dangerous because it is the same colour as the grey tiles (so blends into the floor) one can easily miss the step (in fact I did and fell to my knees). It should really be the same colour as the rest of the staircase, so could easily be painted (it could also do with the sharp corners being sliced off). The supply of the dinosaur stickers for the windows was appreciated, and we did use them on the large panes by the downstairs bedrooms. We also felt a bit exposed from the large window, between the downstairs bedrooms, and the front door, and would have preferred a covering on these (we actually placed the two clothes rails and blankets across from the two bedroom doors to block that window). All in all, we had a lovely holiday, and most likely stay again in the future,

Feedback

Really lovely property to stay in, we had a great time and communication was fantastic. Just a few things that would have made our stay even better - we would have appreciated washing up liquid and surface spray to help us clean after meals. - there were no chopping boards - very few tea towels - both showers created very wet bathrooms to use which was tricky with a group

Fantastic stay at North Vat

North Vat is a beautifully designed building with stunning views across Dungeness from every window. We had a wonderfully relaxing, comfortable weekend break. Hosts were very responsive and easy to talk to when we had an issue.

Weird and wonderful

An amazingly designed house and in a location with an uninterrupted view of the sea, across the shingle. It made the most of the strange environment that is Dungeness. It was a stone's throw away from a great pub with a retro menu and close to the Snack Shack and Fish Hut. So much fresh sea food to eat. There's miles of lovely walks - and the brutalist-esque architecture of the power station to admire.

Problems with booking site

I enjoyed my stay at North Vat very much. However, with the strange problems I had with your office when I couldn’t understand why I was sent an email confusing me about payment, I was disappointed that some recognition and compensation for the time I wasted trying to get you to understand your own procedures and the anxiety I felt was not made. The house was all I expected. The management of bookings was very poor.

Blooming Brilliant Birthday (sorry for the pun)!

We had a faultless stay at North Vat for my birthday - even the weather was great (for early February). The booking process was easy and communications from Bloom Says were excellent. The house more than lived up to expectations. Its location right on the beach was lovely. I was looking for a chilled out birthday with my family and North Vat's zen like modernism and Dungeness' wonderful weirdness hit the mark perfectly. The wifi is slow but that was mostly a good thing although the kids found it a bit more frustrating (they were warned and brought books!). We really enjoyed peaceful strolls down past Prospect Cottage at sunrise and sunset but also had a good time visiting Rye, Canterbury and Whitstable when we wanted to see more 'life' and do a parkrun. We don't often go back to places we've been before but I can well see us returning to North Vat. Thank you owners and Bloom Stays!

North Vat in Dungeness

We had a beautiful time at Dungeness staying at North Vat. Everyone felt comfortable with the facilities provided and enjoyed looking at and reading the books, which included giving a background to Prospect House. We took the opportunity to take some atmospheric photos of the landscape. The food provided in the local pubs were excellent. It was a lovely base to visit Rye, via Camber and Hythe using the railway. I look forward to booking one of your other holiday homes for a variety of experiences.

A beautiful house in a beautiful place.

A beautiful home positioned perfectly to experience a beautiful wilderness. It didn’t take long to feel perfectly at home in a very user friendly splendidly eye pleasing space. Catching the sunrise and sunsets perfectly , outing the lights to stare at the cosmos at night. A great treat.
