Book a holiday home in the large village of Southborough, in the pleasant green area between the towns of Tonbridge and Royal Tunbridge Wells. This long established large village/town is a highly prized place to live. It has good schools which tend to attract aspiring families. Accommodation in Southbridge is of a higher grade than that found in many other parts of Kent.
Expect to find good quality self-catered holiday homes that can be rented for short breaks and by the week. These will be furnished for a satisfying stay in mid Kent. Almost every property will have the usual good clean bedrooms, a modern fitted kitchen with all essential appliances and a sitting room with a television, WiFi and some sort of system that allows guests to listen to music. The number of bathrooms and bedrooms depends on price and size of the property.
Parking can be an issue if you have your own car. Try to book a house that has its own private parking. Southborough has a railway station called ‘High Brooms’ on the Charing Cross to Hastings line which provides easy access to London and the Kent coast. This may be ideal for foreign tourists who wish to explore but not drive. The train also stops at Tonbridge and Royal Tunbridge Wells so that there are two more prominent Kent towns to explore.
Southborough is such a lovely place to stay because it is encircled by beautiful countryside. It is one thing to have attractive accommodation but the setting also matters. Tranquil country roads such as Vauxhall Lane branch off the main roads that lead away from Southborough. These are perfect for a little cycling or a walk to enjoy nature and sunshine. You may be lucky enough to rent a farmhouse on the outskirts of Southborough; a roomy character rural home that is full of features added through the ages.
