Country cottages in Kent for self-catering and short breaks

Find self-catering country cottages for a holiday or short break in Kent.

The countryside of Kent is green and lovely with charming villages, olde worlde pubs, oast houses, interesting coastline and popular seaside resorts. So whether you're looking for a country cottage near the sea, or a cottage inland to enjoy walks in the countryside, Kent remains a popular county to visit with tourists and day trippers alike.

The Kent Downs and wooded rolling hills are beautiful for walks, perhaps accompanied by your dog.

Short breaks are increasingly popular as people use fewer days holiday and perhaps just take one day's holiday tacked onto the end of a weekend for a 3 day break. Three days is usually long enough for a visit to one location, enough to see everything of interest without getting bored, enjoy a few good meals and obtain a flavour of the place. Kent is an excellent short break destination with lots of interesting places to visit apart from the popular places such as Canterbury, the cathedral and Chaucer connections, Whistable for seaside cottages, Margate, Rochester for Dickens and Christmas Market and Gravesend for docks and a ferry to Tilbury in Essex.
