Take a drive around Kent in summer and you’ll soon see why this lush and fertile county is called the Garden of England. But there’s much more to this beautiful county than horticulture and whichever of your holiday cottages in Kent you choose, you’ll have a wealth of attractions on your doorstep. A cottage holiday here gives you magnificent castles to explore, including the one at Leeds, which is perhaps the most beautiful in England. Dover Castle is also sure to impress. Kent is home to Canterbury too, with its magnificent cathedral, so redolent with history. Royal Tunbridge Wells harks back to the age of Georgian elegance - make sure you leave time for some shopping in the famous Pantiles. And there’s historic Rochester, famous for its castle and cathedral. All are an easy drive from our holiday cottages in Kent. If it’s fresh air and peaceful countryside you’re looking for or your cottage holiday in Kent, then the North Downs are ideal for walkers. For traditional seaside fun and games there are Margate, Ramsgate and Broadstairs, while the beach at Camber Sands is justly popular. Or why not pay a visit to Whitstable, and sample some of its famous oysters?
