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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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,

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!

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.
Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024

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.

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.

Lovely experience
My first stay cation with my children and didn’t disappoint! House and location couldn’t have been better, idyllic in every way. Sunsets to die for and the beach was so much fun when the tide was out. Back yard was secure for our dogs so we felt safe too. Just lovely all round thank you!

Family summer break
Fabulous and relaxing family week. North VAT delivered on architectural brilliance, phenomenal views and absolute tranquility. 2 recommendations: - lobster flatbread and scallops from the Fish Shack up the road. To ‘spice it up’ further take a bottle of fizz with you. - taking binoculars and drink to the beach at high tide to watch seals frolicking about Who ever is reading this we hope you enjoy as much as our family.
