Luxury self-catering holiday accommodation in Kent

Welcome to the bloomin' marvellous "Garden of England", Kent! Sprinkled with Oliver’s Travels cute cottages, bee-shaped lodges, mansion houses, seaside wonders and colossal party houses, you will find just the perfect place to stay to discover this wonderful county. So, gather up your favourite friends or your family or whisk away your special someone for a romantic getaway. Thanks to Oliver’s Travels, your adventure in this flowery haven is just a booking away!

Kent is home to some real showstoppers. First up is Canterbury Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the Archbishop of Canterbury's favourite hangout. With its Gothic glam and incredible history, it is a must-visit for history buffs and spiritual seekers alike. Leeds Castle, named the "loveliest castle in the world", is surrounded by a moat and stunning gardens that make you question if you have stepped into a fairy tale. The White Cliffs of Dover stand tall and proud, like the bodyguards of Britain. These chalky wonders have guarded this fine land for centuries and a trip to Dover not only treats you to panoramic views of the English Channel but also a chance to explore the historic Dover Castle.

Nature lovers adore The Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a green haven of rolling hills, woodlands and charming villages. It feels like Mother Nature threw a garden party and you are invited! You can lace up those hiking boots, hop on a bike or just bask in the countryside tranquility. If you are looking for beachside bliss, Margate and Broadstairs have sandy shores and a lively arts scene. You should check out the Turner Contemporary gallery in Margate.

Canterbury is a living, breathing medieval postcard with cobbled streets, timber-framed buildings and the River Stour snaking through. Tenterden and Faversham, the market towns, are like stepping into a scene from a quaint British movie. Markets, boutique shops and historic architecture blend together in a beautiful way. Chilham, the village with a Tudor-style square, is practically a movie star. You might have seen it in period dramas, it is that photogenic.

There are plenty of festivals that take place, including The Canterbury Festival of music, theatre and art. The Rochester Dickens Festival offers Victorian-themed events, parades and street performances. It is like stepping into a Dickens novel. Get your taste buds ready for a dance because Kent is the "Garden of England" for a reason. Featuring orchards, hop gardens and vineyards, it is a feast for the senses. You can visit farmers' markets, cider houses and wineries to savour the local delights. Kentish cherries and apples are the celebrities here and you are the VIP guest at their flavour-packed party.

Kent is a whirlwind of history, natural beauty and culture. You will fall head over heels and the memories will linger like the scent of summer roses. So, whether you are storming medieval castles, sauntering through charming towns, lazing on a beach or feasting on oysters in Whitstable, a trip to Kent guarantees an adventure. Cheers to Kent where every moment is a bloomin' good time!

Reviews

  • This is a fantastic hidden gem!

    on 24/09/2022

    The location is just amazing! Having that direct access to the beach really makes it something special. And the property itself was so clean and beautifully decorated.
    The hosts are fantastic too, communication was easy, they were very helpful and accommodating, giving us excellent recommendations for places to eat and even provided a bed, bows and treats for our dog!
    We would highly recommend booking….sitting and watching the sunset over the sea on your own private deck was just magical!…we will definitely be visiting again!

  • Highly recommend

    on 10/09/2022

    Great direct sea view accommodation, comfortable & spotlessly clean, well equipped if you want to self cater with excellent cafe pub restaurant’s within walking distance or a short drive. Coastal footpath has direct access to this property so offers great easy walking / cycling ,added bonus of parking on site. Would highly recommend if you want to take the world in from the decking or explore Kent.

  • You can’t get better views of the sea..

    on 19/06/2022

    What a beautiful find! You can’t get better views of the sea and the decking area was so dreamy to have your meals at looking over the beach. The apartment had everything you could want including lots of cooking appliances, which was so handy as we just wanted to stay there the whole time!

  • Perfection!

    on 08/05/2022
