Bumble Bee Cottage

• "The property suffered from an infestation of fleas and I was severely bitten."

  The owner called in a pest control operative and I was given a full refund. Perhaps pet owners could ensure their animals are free of fleas before they travel with them? The property is listed as "pet-friendly". Perhaps those travelling without animals would be better served elsewhere.

• "We had a very nice stay again at Bumblebee cottage."

  It was warm and comfortable and well placed to get to Faversham and further afield. It is just a walk from Brogdale National fruit collection which during our visit was at its best with blossoming fruit trees. Again thank you Natasha for the afternoon tea that was waiting for us on arrival.

  Thank you glad you enjoyed your stayed Property Owner

  Close to amenities in Faversham and perfectly placed for exploring south Kent. The owner is very helpful and leaves a delicious tea to welcome you on your arrival. So nice that we are going back again in six weeks time!

• "On arrival afternoon tea is provided, this was sandwiches, pork pies, sausage roll and a large tray of cup cakes."

  Bumble bee cottage is a small terrace house with lots of furniture which can make moving around the rooms a little awkward. We moved some of the wicker furniture in the main bed room into the second bedroom that we were not using. There is only a 2 seater sofa, if you have a 3rd person they need to sit on a small rocking chair. Nice sized bath with plenty of hot water and some bubble bath is provided. The kitchen had a large variety of utensils even an egg slice, we donated a cheap set of knives we purchased from Tesco's as the knives were not sharp enough to do veg. Loads of dishwasher tablets and washing up liquid was provided. The outside space is not great, it is all concrete. The space around the back door is small and has several wheelie bins, a water butt and a compost bin meaning you are squeezing past bins to get to the gate. The area past the gate is an access way for the neighbours who walk their dog though. You have to keep dogs on a lead at all times and the gate is only 3ft and flimsy. Parking is on the road, never had an issue getting a space, but there is a school just up the road so at pickup time the road is really busy.

  Thank you for staying at bumble bee cottage Yes it small and I’m aways around if you ever need me thank you for the knifes was very kind to leave them glad you enjoyed your afternoon tea As lounge is small sadly I could not find 3 seater That fitted , but I will keep looking for one Natasha Property Owner

• "We stayed in Bumblebee Cottage mainly for the Hopfestival in Faversham."

  Mixed feelings about our stay, and alas mostly not good. The only good things: at arrival a very comprehensive cream tea, with cakes and sandwiches, the very comfortable bed and the location in Ospringe, central enough to visit divers amenities and seeing the sights. The negatives: too small cottage for a 2-week stay. Dated and very "loud" interior, with knicknacks everywhere there's a free space. No personal contact with owner. No information about emergency-contact numbers, no WiFi password (after a long search we found it on the underside of the modem), no userguides of (the dated) appliances. TV only via WiFi, no live-TV, for older people not suitable. One roll of toiletpaper for 2 people for 2 weeks? No kitchen paper, no dishwasher tablets. Garden furniture not comfortable. We can conclude that we will not be back in Bumblebee Cottage. We found it Sykes unworthy!

  Sorry to hear that you had a disappointing visit at our quaint cottage. I’m sorry that the cottage wasn’t to your taste, it may be small and quaint but that is what many say adds to its character. I feel disappointed about the comment regarding no personal contact with the owner as we spoke on the phone which is also the number to use in emergency should you need anything. Sorry that you had trouble with the TV, there is live TV but we will look into having a guide to make using it clearer. However thank you for your comments, your feedback allows us to provide better future service. Property Owner

• "We enjoyed the quirky decor and homely comfort of Bumble Bee Cottage."

  Sitting cuddled up on the sofa watching Sat night TV after a few beers and games of cards in the cottage garden back yard during a warm sunset. We'd been to the market and found the location perfect, everything was close by, including a lovely park with a cafe. Arriving to tasty sandwiches and our favourite cakes was really appreciated after a busy day!

  Thank you so much glad you enjoyed your self Natasha Property Owner

• "We really appreciated the homely feel of Bumble Bee Cottage; it really offered a cosy setting for a restful break."

  The tea on arrival was truly a feast and such a kind touch to start our holiday with - the abundant cakes provided sweet treats for each of the following days of our stay! The location of the cottage was also perfect for exploring Faversham and the beautiful surrounding area, as well as for experiencing some of the lovely, historic pubs nearby - we were treated like locals at The Ship! All in all it really felt like a home from home and that we were very welcome guests at the Bumble Bee! Thank you

• "The house was lovely."

  We enjoyed all the little decorations and nice furniture. Most importantly everything was provided that we could think of. We didn't have to organise anything for the house ourselves. Also the location was very handy for us and helped us get to our destinations easily. Thank you very much for everything!

• "Comfy little cottage."

  Bed was really comfortable so slept very well. Natasha was extremely helpful. The shower was not running well and she called her plumber out straight away so it was sorted promptly. She also replaced the TV as the original one was not working well on the indoor aerial. There were lots of extras left for us such as butter milk and jam in the fridge and a wonderful afternoon tea which we really appreciated. There were also dog biscuits and bowls. Thanks again Natasha.

  Thank you for lovely review it was lovely meeting your dogs and yourself glad you enjoyed your stay Property Owner

  We arrived at the property a bit later than expected but on entering we was not disappointed, the owner had provided afternoon tea, sandwiches and cakes, even a few treats for our puppy, which was a really nice touch, the beds are super comfy and the little court yard garden was a nice area to sit with a coffee, would definitely recommend and will stay again 100%
