Not everyone gets their dream house, but you could stay in yours for a few days or a week on a self-catering cottage holiday in Kent. Whisking your loved ones away to enjoy luxurious amenities in a new setting is a perfect way to spend some quality time with your nearest and dearest, and there are also lots of properties that welcome dogs, so no part of the family needs to be left behind.
These self-catering holiday cottages might feature an outdoor hot tub for pure indulgence, and if you’re travelling with the kids, they will also enjoy this unique feature. You might choose a home with play equipment in the gardens such as swings, slides and sandpits, so you can sit back and relax whilst the children keep themselves occupied. For your furry friend, some accommodations are provided with a doggy house or kennel in the garden, balls and toys for them to play with, and mats to ensure they mucky paw prints don’t get all over the house!
For location, the Isle of Thanet in the most eastern point of Kent should be considered. Whilst no longer technically an island, Thanet is a gorgeous place to reside in on a self-catering break, as the settlement is surrounded by the coastline with several sandy bays to discover. Ten of the beaches have been awarded Blue Flag status, and Westbrook Bay, Minnis Bay and Botany Bay are some of the most beautiful sands in the county. If staying in Thanet with the kids, they will love visiting some of these beaches to make sand castles and splash about in the sea, and some of the other beaches such as Foreness Point and Fulsam Rock are dog-friendly, so your pooch needn’t be left out.
The Thanet District contains the popular towns of Broadstairs, Margate and Ramsgate, so you can choose accommodation in one of these resorts on your cottage holiday or pick a quieter and more secluded area if you’re wishing to go on a romantic break. There are countless houses, bungalows and cottages available to rent all over Thanet, and you should be able to find something to suit you. Waking up in this part of Kent and exploring a different beach each day will be something you will cherish on a holiday to Thanet, and you will soon get to know the area well and view is as a home away from home.
