Things To Do and Places To Stay in Kent

Planning a trip to Kent? Not sure where to stay and what to see? Here are a few suggestions to help get you started.

Holiday cottages:

There's nothing quite like having a country home to escape to on the weekends. It's all fine and well to spend your week running in the rat race that is London, or any big city, but when Friday afternoon comes around, hard workers like to get into their cars and head out of the city, to a place where neighbours live several acres away, and the only noise heared in the morning is the chirping of birds.

Of course owning a cottage is an expense not everyone can afford. If that's the case for you, then why not rent one? There are some lovely holiday cottages available for rent in Kent, from barn conversions, to oast houses, farm houses, and seaside apartments. Whether you're taking a family vacation, a romantic break or just need to relocate temporarily, rental cottages are an ideal solution.

Bed and Breakfasts:

Bed and Breakfasts are a great way to stay warm and cosy as if in your own home, while still being cooked for and having your bed made. It's not that making your bed or making your own pancakes is a big deal, it's just nice when someone else is there to do it for you, especially when you're on vacation. Some famous bed and breakfasts in Kent include Orchard Way, The Oak, Elmsted Court Farmhouse, Hopes Grove Cottage, and The Beachbrow Hotel.

People visiting Kent usually like to visit:

1. Chartwell: The family home of Sir Winston Churchill. Many of Churchill's own paintings still hang on the walls and the gardens are something to write home about.

2. Hever Castle: This beautiful 13th century castle was the childhood home of Anne Boleyn. The property is complete with a variety of mazes including Yew Maze, a unique Splashing Water Maze, and Henry VIII Tower Maze equipped with an adventure play area.

3. Vineyards: There are a number of wonderful vineyards in Kent where tourists can enjoy the tastes and sights of delicious grapes. Some worth checking out are, Chapel Down Winery, Lamberhurst, Biddenden Vineyard and Sandhurst.

4. Hot air ballooning: A lot of people who go to Kent enjoy spending an afternoon in a hot air balloon. It is adventurous, fun and a great way to see the sites.

There are many ways to enjoy some time in Kent, including dining at local restaurants, drinking at local pubs, and enjoying some shopping.
