Self catering accommodation in Kent

selfcatering kentThe following self-catering accommodation is in Kent, the county that borders London on the East. Please click on any photographs of accommodation shown to explore the properties in detail. All are available for short breaks and weekly lets.

Many holidaymakers travel to Kent from London to visit Canterbury with its famous cathedral, Dover for Channel crossings or to visit the historic castle, the many excellent traditional seaside resorts, stately homes and gardens, and Bluewater - a shopping centre with designer outlets. Oast houses (photograph on above right) that were once used to dry hops for the beer making industry and grown in Kent can still be seen in many villages. Kent is a popular destination for people in the south east and London for day trips - there are numerous attractive villages to explore, and good pubs for lunch.

Kent The Gun Emplacement

The Gun Emplacement is the nearest house to France. It's perched on the cliff top on Lighthouse Down, the National Trust's protected coastal expanse, which has come to be known as The White Cliffs. The house was built by the Army in 1910, Sir Peter Ustinov was billeted there during the Second War and he bought it from the Ministry of Defence in 1946. I bought it in 1977 and have used it as my seaside home.In 2000, it was extensively renovated inside and out and is now a very comfortable though not luxurious one-storey, centrally-heated residence in a unique location, with uninterrupted views across the Channel to Calais, gardens back and front and offers total peace in glorious unspoiled countryside. The wonderful view on the cliffs is shown above. The Gun Emplacement is the nearest house to France.

Kent Capri

Capri is a bright and spacious chalet, tucked away at the end of a cul-de-sac in its own private garden. It has views to the rear over fields, and on a clear day you can see Dover's white cliffs! New Romney station, model railway and cafe, with its 15 inch gauge steam railway is a 2 minute walk from the house. The trains run past the garden fence to the side - become 'the railway children' for a week! The enclosed garden has a sunny terraced area, a small area of lawn, and a 'secret garden' under a weeping willow, with a wooden wendy house and a swing. From the garden you have a good view of the trains, railway and engine shed. Capri is a 5 bedroom family house, situated at the end of a cul-de-sac, overlooking the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch miniature steam Railway. New Romney station is just a 2 minute walk from the house - a railway fan's paradise! Furnished and equipped with ease and comfort in mind, the house is big enough for two families to holiday together, but equally suitable for a group of adults wanting a comfortable base from which to explore the many delights of this part of Kent.
