From the glorious beach and countryside of the beautiful Garden of England, to the historic towns and rolling South Downs of Sussex, this area is truly idyllic. Visit Canterbury Cathedral, 1066 country of the legendary White Cliffs of Dover. Take a day trip to Paris or climb aboard a warship in Chatham Docks. Come face to face with a tiger in Howletts Wild Animal Park or make a pit stop at Brands Hatch for some high-octane action. Make sure you also visit the sand dunes on one of the stunning beaches!

There is plenty of self catering accommodation available in Kent and Sussex but one of the easiest and most cost effective ways to explore this beautiful part of south east England is by staying on a Sussex holiday park or Kent caravan park.  Accommodation in a static caravan or mobile home offers you an affordable and comfortable stay where you can come and go as you please.  The great thing about holiday parks is that they also include great facilities close by whether it is a hot tub, swimming pool, kids entertainment or a bar. You will find Kent caravan parks at all the popular destinations including New Romney, Sheerness, Herne Bay and Whitstable. Similarly you will find some great Sussex holiday parks at Camber Sands, Hastings, Battle and Rye.

Of course if holiday parks are not your thing there are plenty of self catering apartments and cottages throughout the south east, check out some Sussex self catering and Kent self catering here.

The accommodation includes both cottages and apartments either located on the drammatic south west coast or at some beauty spots in the country.  Hundreds of these cottages and apartments are rated 4 stars or 5 stars and so if you are looking for a bit of luxury on your holidays then there is no better place to start especially if you are looking for luxuries like a swimming pool and hot tub.  If you are feeling romantic, check out our range of romantic cottages and apartments that include four poster beds and open wood fires.
