Kent is a brilliant choice of destination in which to rent self-catering accommodation in the UK, as it has a wonderful mixture of vast coastline, stunning countryside and charming towns and villages. You can choose a cottage to suit whatever you require on holiday with loved ones, so if you would love a small cottage with a swimming pool in a welcoming settlement, or a house by the sea with its own private garden, you will be able to find it in Kent. If you’re unsure of just where in Kent to stay, then the village of High Halstow in the north of the county is a nice choice due to its history and pleasing scenery. It may not be the most desirable holiday destination in Kent, but it could be good for you if you would like a few days away in Kent, not too far from home.
High Halstow sits in the centre of the spit of land that sits between the River Thames and River Medway Estuaries. It is one of a collection of small villages dotted about this ‘off the beaten track’ area. The village is home to a church, one shop and a friendly pub, plus lots of cottages for a self-catering break. You will feel like a local when residing here as it isn’t a touristy area, but there is still plenty to see and do. If you enjoy nature, then you will enjoy exploring the Northward Hill Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. Here, you can walk through woodland and marsh, spotting birds and taking photographs.
Your cottage in High Halstow will soon feel like a second home. Whether you are visiting with your whole family, your partner, or a group of friends, having a comfortable place to relax in after a day of discovering Kent will make your break memorable, as holiday cottages usually have more character than hotels and can be tailored to your needs.
If you want to indulge and enjoy a bit of pampering, you might choose a cottage with a Jacuzzi in the bathroom. You might be gathering up your loved ones for a special occasion and want to enjoy a barbecue in the sun, and there are lots of cottages that come with private gardens with barbecues.
Visiting with your pet pooch can also be done in High Halstow as there are properties that welcome dogs and provide doggy bowls and beds for them, and there are also plenty of accommodations that are baby-friendly, with highchairs in the dining rooms and cots in the bedrooms.
If you want to see more of Kent in a quiet but lovely part of the county, then residing in High Halstow is a great option. With stunning scenery outside your door and a friendly community feel to it, you will have a self-catering break to remember.
