It's not just the mid-century furniture and muted colour palette in this home that takes influence from the Scandinavians. Out in the garden, there's an electric-powered sauna, as well as a bathtub on the patio that you can fill with cold water for the full authentic experience. Once you've finished flitting between the two, you can rest up in the cosy summer house. The host has put together a list of local therapists and this private space is perfect for treatments. Back inside, there's plenty of equipment to keep those particular about their coffee happy, including an espresso machine, milk frother, percolator, grinder and fresh beans from a local roaster. When you're feeling suitably caffeinated, the charming seaside town of Margate is waiting to be explored. The main beach takes about a quarter of an hour to reach on foot, as does the Dreamland Amusement Park, which often hosts concerts, club nights and events.

Style meets comfort in this wonderfully located apartment in Margate. Designed in a chic, boutique-style manner, the whole space feels brilliantly modern while retaining a sense of vintage charm that so aptly reflects Margate’s seaside fame. We love the bright living room with its large windows that provide the most spectacular sunset views across the Winter Gardens and out towards the sea, best enjoyed on the sofa with a glass of wine or through the handy telescope provided. Full of fun decorative details that subtly nod to the coast, this space is made for relaxation and easy-going socialising. Our other favourite spot for sea-sighting is in the beautiful master bedroom where an armchair invites you to curl up on it with a good book and enjoy the rolling of the waves from yet another angle. Factor in the sunny kitchen and the sparkling blue and white bathroom and you’ve got everything you need for a blissful coastal break. Outside of your home, you’re just a six-minute walk from the Turner Contemporary art gallery, an eight-minute stroll from the Main Sands beach, while the Dreamland Margate amusement park is fifteen minutes on foot from your door.

Mesmerising sea views are what steal the show at this fabulously located Margate apartment. Any closer to the water and you'd be swimming in it – at least, that's how it feels from the comfy seats in the big bay window. It's the perfect spot to relax with a cup of tea or a glass of wine and watch the tides change – or, if you're in town on business, you'll find it makes an excellent desk, although, with vistas like that, we'd definitely focus more on the scenery than our work.

As impressive as the panoramas are, they're not the only reason this apartment caught our eye. It's filled with light and boasts sleek, contemporary decoration inspired by the coast. Unwind on the blue sofa after a long walk along the shore, rustle up a hearty meal in the stylish kitchen and, come bedtime, retreat to the cosy bedrooms (two of which face the seaside) and fall asleep to the gentle lull of the waves.

As for location, it's as ideal as can be. You're just five minutes on foot from Walpole Tidal Pool, ten from Palm Bay Beach and twenty-two from Margate Main Sands. Northdown Road has an array of shops, pubs and restaurants – it's a ten-minute stroll away – with plenty more eateries and activities to choose from in the centre, also within easy reach. 

Beyond The Sea

Parking On Street

Boasting views of the sea from nearly every room, this apartment in Margate makes an excellent base. And it's not just the scenery that caught our eye. With playful pops of pink, green, and other bright colours, this pad is full of personality. You'll have everything you need here to settle in comfortably, from a well-appointed kitchen to a lush soaker bath. The twin beds in the second bedroom can be transformed into a king upon request, making this flexible for families or friends. As for location, Walpole Bay's sandy beach is a short walk away. You're also close to shops, eateries, and Margate's vibrant Old Town.

Welcome to Margate, where golden sand beaches and quintessentially seaside shops and eateries are just begging to be discovered. And this homey apartment, nestled in Palm Bay, is the perfect base to do just that. 

Whether you fancy an ice cream cone by the sea, a dip in the blue waters or a long walk along the coast, you'll be well-placed for exploring here. Margate Beach and all its fun-filled activities are about a ten-minute drive away, while closer to home, Plam Bay Beach is twenty minutes on foot.

With such incredible local attractions keeping you busy, you'll need a serene pad to come home to. We think this flat is just the ticket, especially for small families. The open-plan layout is a dream for laid-back evenings – parents can rustle up dinner in the kitchen while kids get cosy on the overstuffed sofas and never miss a beat in the conversation. Later on, once the little ones are tucked in, gather on the patio for a late-night glass of wine and plan tomorrow's itinerary. Between the comfy living spaces, stylish bathroom and excellent location, we think you'll love calling this place home on your Margate getaway. 

Seaward Way

Watching the ever-changing moods of the seas through the window of this newly renovated, high-style Margate apartment is a moment you'll never tire of, trust us. Set in Cliftonville, a smart pocket of the seaside town just a two-minute walk from the seafront promenade, it's easy to see the draw of this neighbourhood.

Grab a coffee to go from one of Cliftonville's buzzy cafes, then mooch along to the fantastic Walpole Tidal Pool (nine minutes away) or a smidge further in the opposite direction, the silk-sanded shores of Margate Beach (eighteen minutes on foot). For a hefty dose of seaside nostalgia, the kitsch amusement park, Margate Dreamland (a twenty-five minutes walk), is just the ticket. Or, for something a little more highbrow, the Turner Contemporary Gallery will do nicely (an eighteen-minute walk). As will the Old Town's wander-worthy lanes –⁠ its vintage shops and happening restaurants is an afternoon well spent.

Back at home, you'll love how quiet this apartment feels, set out across the top two floors of a Victorian property. The bay window nook is the perfect spot for a tete-a-tete over morning coffees as you soak up the sea vistas. While upstairs, one big hug of a king-sized bed awaits when it's time to get your forty winks. And just wait till you see the views of Margate's spectacular sunsets blazing through the bedroom window.

Mermaid of Margate

Buzzer / Wireless Intercom

Indulge in sea views from every window when you stay at this top floor apartment in the heart of Margate. The interiors are immaculately styled with mid-century modern furnishings and vintage curiosities. It’s the perfect place for a cosy couple looking to get away for a few days and revel in the relaxed lifestyle of the Kentish coast. Cook up a storm in the bright kitchen, then pour yourself a homemade cocktail and soak up unobstructed sunset vistas from your enviable vantage point. Sunny days are to be spent uncovering the Viking Coastal Trail or frolicking on Margate Beach, a mere ten minutes from your doorstep. If rain threatens, peruse an exhibition at the nearby Turner Contemporary or dip in and out of the indie boutiques and cafes that cluster around the colourful Old Town.

Courtyard

Rooftop Terrace

Just a ten-minute stroll from Margate Beach and Old Town's vintage shops and trendy cafes, this home is well-placed to explore Margate. The design swaps twee coastal curios for sleek, contemporary touches. Some rooms are snug – particularly the lounge when the sofa bed is in use – but it works for short trips. A tasty meal can easily be rustled up in the kitchen, while the tiny courtyard is ideal for a dog to get some fresh air. But the biggest bonus is the rooftop terrace. Accessed through one of the bedrooms, it boasts sea views in the distance and a bar to boot – that's sundowners covered.

This terraced townhouse has been thoughtfully styled with unique pieces collected on Hannah’s travels around the world. The natural styling reflects the ethos of the host, who has stocked the home with eco-friendly products and curated a sense of calm. The master bedroom is the show-stopper, its roll-top bath invites you to soak whilst sea-gazing over Margate’s seashore. The honesty bar is a welcome treat after a day at the beach or exploring the local boutique shops. Located in the relaxed creative quarter, you're close to the Turner Contemporary gallery and the beach. 


The Well

Oh, we do like to be beside the seaside, especially when the homes are as pretty as this. Part of a grand Victorian building positioned next to a square from the same era, the apartment benefits from period features such as the ornamental fireplace and a big bay window that lets in ample amounts of natural light into the living room. It also means that it's possible to see the coastline from the dining table. The furnishings fit into the current trend for mid-century influences, while the kitchen and bathroom are each dazzlingly white. If the sunshine makes an appearance, you can walk fifteen minutes to Margate's main beach or Walpole Tidal Pool, and go for a dip. When it's raining, why not head to the Turner Contemporary art gallery instead?

Edge of Heaven

Ideally located in the old town, just a two-minute walk from the beach and the Turner Contemporary, this home has the very best of Margate within easy reach. When you’re not strolling along the promenade or perusing the trendy shops, we imagine you’ll be digging into fish and chips on the home’s private patio. Inside, you’ll find a sociable living space for spending quality time together and a kitchen for easy self-catering. If we had to be picky, we’d say the bathroom could do with an update, but everything works as it should. 


Melody of the Sea

Steps away from the sandy banks of St Mildred's Bay, this modern cottage is the ideal family getaway. The seaside theme naturally sweeps through the home with cobalt blue furniture and natural woods, leading to the star of the show, the mural. The kids (and the grown-ups!) will love the colourful mural for its lovely detail and the whimsical feel that it adds to the home. Breakfasts eaten around the dining table surrounded by painted sea creatures will certainly motivate you to get out there and explore, so it's lucky you don't have to go far. 

The charming seaside town of Westgate-on-Sea is just a thirteen-minute walk away where you'll find quaint cafes, an old-fashioned cinema, and a lovely sandy beach. Or, you can take the thirty-minute coastal walk to Margate. There, you'll find an even bigger beach, with even more independent shops and cafes to explore. However you spend the day, you'll love getting home to your cottage. Enjoy the last of the afternoon sun in the courtyard, listening to the sounds of the seagulls nearby with a nice drink in hand. Let the barbecue take care of dinner for a relaxing evening in, playing games and enjoying drinks around the table. Or, head out to one of the many restaurants nearby, the closest is just a two-minute walk away.

Life Imitates Art

This charming home is in the heart of Margate. It’s a great place for a family looking for a seaside escape, as it’s just a short walk from Margate Beach. Margate is a charming town, with plenty to see and do, including visiting the Shell Grotto and the amusement park, and dining out in one of many delightful independent eateries. You’ll also be well placed for exploring the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The house is colourful and comfortable, equipped with everything you might need – though, at full occupancy, two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the living room. 

Margate Magpie

Welcome Hamper

Hop off the train, and within a ten-minute walk, you'll find yourself wrapped up in the magic of this artistic townhouse in Ramsgate. Elegant wallpaper, muted tiling, window shutters and the glittering chandeliers in most rooms (including the bathroom) give the home a grand and opulent air. The pleasingly eclectic variety of wall colours – alongside the antique furniture, contemporary art and climbing houseplants – also lend a bohemian atmosphere that perfectly matches the seaside location. And there's no shortage of ways for kids and adults to entertain themselves. You can spend happy moments in the kids' room discovering all the stuffed toys, take a relaxing soak in the clawfoot tub, nip over to the pilates studio next door, or sample some of England's finest ale in the garden. The home is ideally located for a large family or group of friends wanting to explore the 'garden of England' – with Ramsgate Harbour and the beach just a stroll away. Nearby, you can experience all the fun of the fair at Dreamland – home to the UK's oldest rollercoaster – or admire stunning works of art in the Turner Contemporary, both on Margate's seafront. The town is also home to a host of Michelin-recommended restaurants, serving up everything from authentic Italian fare to fresh fish straight out of the North Sea.


Paint the Light

This charming cottage sits on a chalk headland within the grounds of a lighthouse above Broadstairs. You'll be glad to know this lighthouse doesn't have a fog signal, so there'll be no jumping out of your skin. You may leap for joy, though, when you see the shared one-acre lawned garden and patio (all set well away from the cliffs, so the property is child-friendly too). Inside the home, there are some lovely views from upstairs, but we'd say the kitchen is quite narrow in areas, though it's well-equipped. Or if you prefer to eat out, there's a pub within a ten-minute stroll. Nearby, Broadstairs has sandy beaches and an old town to explore too.

The Sea Gathers

Fenced Garden

Gaze out over Viking Bay from this modern beachfront apartment. Tucked away beneath the scenic clifftop promenade, this top-floor pad offers unmatched access to the golden sands of Broadstairs' horseshoe-shaped beach and the independent boutiques, charming cafes and fantastic restaurants that line its narrow streets.

Wake up to stunning sunrises in the main en-suite bedroom before brewing yourself a coffee and sitting out on the private balcony as the seabirds circle overhead. If it's a little chilly, you can still enjoy the vistas from the comfort of the leather sofa or elect to stay in bed and enjoy a slow start to the day.

Plan your afternoon over breakfast at the Ercol dining table and chairs, backed by a large mirrored wall that reflects the already ample daylight into the room. Elsewhere, a chic baby blue kitchen contains all you might need to make homemade meals. However, with everything from fuss-free fish & chips to fine dining to choose from on your doorstep and in nearby Margate, you might not be spending much time in it.

While Margate is a short drive away, we'd suggest taking your time and following the Viking Trail along expansive beaches and steep chalk cliffs all the way to its sheltered harbour. From here, you're perfectly placed to visit the Turner Contemporary and wander the quaint Old Town, where you can take your pick from several outstanding eateries (though we'd recommend booking ahead) before boarding a bus or catching a taxi back to Broadstairs. 

Jack of All Parades

Private Washing Machine

If a sea view is what you're after, this home will not disappoint. Perched on a clifftop in Birchington-on-Sea, the coastal scenery can be admired from most of the rooms. Our favourite viewpoint is the conservatory – we can't think of a better spot to enjoy a cup of tea and watch the tide roll in. Outside, the fuss-free garden offers space for kids and pups to let loose. Ready to explore? Birchington has two tidal shores that are ideal for walking and rockpooling. For a proper day at the beach, we suggest heading over to Margate, just 4 miles away.

Halcyon Horizons

Located just a two-minute saunter from Viking Bay, this home is as close to the beach as you can get without getting your toes sandy. Interiors are bright and funky, with a couple of nautical nods to remind you of your enviable location. Breathe in the salty air from one of two outside spaces – there’s a cosy courtyard with twinkly lights at the back and a dinky patio to the front. When the afternoon comes to an end, tuck into a fish supper in the living space or take it to the seafront for a sweeping coastal sunset. Wet your whistle at any one of a number of pubs and bars along the High Street, a five-minute walk away, or tuck into creamy gelato at Morelli’s famous parlour – it’s only 250 metres from your doorstep. 

Beach Ridge

Soak up the sea air at this coastal cottage, ideally located between Broadstairs and Margate on the Kent coast. Stroll through the entrance gate and into the front garden to take in beautiful sea views (there’s a telescope here too for stargazing), then step inside your home where quirky artistic touches create the perfect beach-vibe welcome. From the anchor ornaments to the roaring fireplace and the dining room’s window-side seat that begs to be sat in with a good book, this cottage has been set up to provide a picture-perfect seaside escape. The master bedroom is a delight with its perfectly positioned bed to let you sit up and watch the waves, while the second bedroom’s holiday prints and whitewashed floorboards provide a happy backdrop for a dreamy night’s sleep. With a backyard too equipped with a table and chairs for alfresco meals, there’s no end to the fun and relaxation on offer. When you’re not chilling out at home in your charming cottage, go out and sink your toes in the sand at Kingsgate Bay Beach (a two-minute walk) and Joss Bay (an eight-minute walk) or drive eight minutes to explore Margate and its beach. Factor in the countless pubs, beachside cafes and year-round festivals in the area, and you’ve got everything you need for a storybook coastal getaway. 

Sea You At The Beach

Friends, couples, and small families will feel right at home in this coastal apartment. Just minutes from your doorstep lie the golden beaches of Ramsgate, while the town's selection of shops and trendy eateries are easily reachable on foot. The cosy patio has space to sit with a morning coffee or an alfresco lunch, and both bedrooms benefit from en-suites. You'll find street parking outside, but day trips are a breeze even without a car. Bus stops and Ramsgate Rail Station are within walking distance, offering regular services to Margate, Broadstairs, and the charming city of Canterbury.

Seafront Seafoam

This family home in Ramsgate is just moments from local amenities and a short stroll from the beach. With an enclosed garden and patio, this house is a peaceful haven for families and friends. Inside, you’ll find a well-equipped kitchen, a living and dining space, and four comfortable bedrooms. In addition to being close to the beach, you’ll be perfectly placed to explore the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, historic Canterbury, and charming Margate.

Light, elegance and exceptional design make this home the ideal destination for a restorative retreat in Ramsgate. Inspired by the importance of small details, the owners have created a space that brings ease to daily living. The bedrooms have Soho Home Hypnos mattresses and The White Company linens, there are toiletries in the bathrooms plus your host can organise a range of child-friendly amenities (available upon request). It’s also extremely well located with the restaurants and boutiques of Addington Street just a short walk away, and the seafront just five minutes away. 

Nomad Living 

Just a short stroll from Minnis Bay Beach, this home is a great option for a refreshing coastal getaway. Featuring family-friendly rooms alongside a private garden, you’ll find all the essentials needed for a relaxing escape. Basic kitchen amenities are provided along with toiletries, plus board games are on hand for cosy evenings by the fire. From here, it’s just a short walk to the nearest amenities, while the Kent coastline is waiting to be explored – you'll find Margate is just a short drive away. 


Gifts on the Shore

Bike Shed

Sun Umbrellas

Steeped in fairytale charm, this stone brick cottage is a gorgeous choice for a family or friends getaway. Tucked away in a vast field, this Victorian home is encircled by whimsical trees with plenty of land to enjoy. 

You'll love the peace and seclusion of this home as much as its quaint interior. It's wonderfully cheerful, with a mix of traditional and modern touches. The stone brick decorative fireplace and patchwork sofa blend harmoniously with the contemporary artwork and funky coffee table. While this home might hold onto its rural Victorian charm, modern preferences brighten up the house beautifully. 

Around the house, the vast gardens provide a setting for familial joy. With plenty of nooks and crannies for the kids to play hide and seek, a barbecue area for the grown-ups to gather around while sipping on wine, and the cosy converted shed, there's so much to love about this countryside escape. 

You might not want to leave this slice of heaven, but there's much to explore in the area. The medieval town of Sandwich is under twenty minutes away by foot, while the idyllic seaside town of Deal is around a fifteen-minute drive away. When you return home after a day of exploring historic streets or eating fish and chips on the pier, your cottage awaits for afternoon drinks in the lovely garden followed by cosy evenings around the dining table.

Located in the picturesque village of Ash, this farmhouse is a gorgeous escape, best suited for a large family or a group of friends who love the Kent countryside. The architecture hasn't changed much since the house was built well over a century ago, and you can still see a variety of period features, even though the home has recently undergone a careful refurbishment. This is most obvious in the homey kitchen with its hanging pots and pans, supported by a beautiful vaulted ceiling, as well as the antique fireplace in the living room. Thanks to the size of the garden, everyone can find their little spot and relax alone, or get together for an alfresco meal freshly cooked on the barbecue. But our favourite space has to be the library, where you can browse the host's wide collection of titles and pretend you're the Lord or Lady of the manor. There's a local pub just a few minutes away if you're in need of refreshment, along with a village shop. Plus, with the medieval town of Sandwich just a ten-minute drive away, along with a nearby golf course and wildlife park, there's plenty to entertain the whole family. 

Tudor Grace

This home opens its doors to a refreshing retreat in the Kentish countryside. Set within a peaceful garden, there’s an abundance of space to relax, socialise and savour quality time together both inside and out. Each of the rooms boasts a unique character and there are plenty of quirky touches throughout. Well-behaved dogs are welcome to join you and private parking is available. Plus, you'll find lots to explore in the surroundings with easy access to nearby Sandwich. It’s also just a short drive to Wingham Wildlife Park and the beaches along the coast. 


English Bliss

Resort Access

Taking up the two floors of a Victorian townhouse, this home has a lovely view of Deal Castle out through the window. Inside, there's plenty to hold your attention, too. The white walls and wooden floorboards work very well with the ample amounts of natural light that come in through the windows on either side of the long, open living space. There's a charming collection of nautical-themed pieces of artwork and trinkets dotted about the space, as well as a pair of bathtubs that are sure to tempt you upon coming back through the front door after a long day exploring this quaint seaside town. The pier is eight minutes' walk along the pebbly beach and you'll spot some of the wide array of restaurants and pubs that Deal has to offer along the way.

The Fossil Collector

Get your fill of fresh coastal air at this welcoming cottage in Deal. An idyllic seaside getaway, it has everything you need for a relaxing stay. From its wood floors to its cosy fireplaces and contemporary decor, it’s all set to invite you into its warm and comfortable embrace. The farmhouse-style kitchen is where you’ll want to begin your days over hearty breakfasts and hot cups of coffee before catching some rays in the courtyard garden. Then grab your swimming costume and towel for an afternoon at Deal’s pebble beach (a four-minute walk away) or soak up some history at Deal Castle (also four minutes away on foot). Mosey around Deal High Street’s eclectic blend of shops (eight minutes) and take a day to visit Margate, a thirty-minute drive away. After whiling away your hours soaking up the sea air, come back home for sunset drinks in the garden. Then finish the night off with a relaxing soak in the freeform tub before retreating to your bedrooms for a blissful night’s sleep.


Deal Me In

Tick off all of Kent’s coastal hotspots from this apartment set in the East Cliff neighbourhood of Ramsgate. The sea, high street, and harbour are footsteps from your door, and when it’s time to cast your net further to Margate and Broadstairs, there’s free street parking outside. Rather leave the car at home? The coastal bus route stops nearby. A great option for a family stay, the second bedroom sleeps three in a bunk bed made up of a double and single – perfect for little ones sharing. If we were nit-picking, the open-plan living area might feel snug at full occupancy. But those Regency ceilings and windows of grand proportions make all the difference.  

The Harbour

Minutes from the Ramsgate seafront, this Victorian home is perfectly located for a coastal getaway. Almost everything is within walking distance, be it the Royal Harbour and the beach or seaside restaurants and shops. Sure, the interiors aren't the most modern, but you'll have space to spread out across the cosy sitting room, eat-in kitchen, and four comfortable bedrooms – though it's worth noting that there's only one bathroom. The cherry on top is the small patio, perfect for morning coffees and alfresco sundowners.

Victorian Velvet

Piano

Set in the building of a former National Provincial Bank designed by architect William W Gwyther of London and built in 1895, this apartment is now one of 900 listed properties in Ramsgate. Presenting a unique Italian style curving corner facade, the area in which it resides is also dripping in a wealth of history. 

If the exquisite architecture and fine details don't consume your attention, you'll also get to appreciate the uninterrupted harbour views of the Royal Harbour. 

Inside, curved rooms, admirably high ceilings, terrazzo flooring, and an arched hallway invite guests to enjoy the space in all of its charm and character. Dressed with antique furniture pieces, opulent designs and modern practicalities – it presents a harmonious balance between the old and the new. 

Situated in a breathtaking location (an not to mention convenient one too), you'll be just minutes from the beach, restaurants, bars and clubs of Ramsgate. All of which can be appreciated from afar should you prefer to spend evenings in, as the harbour and sea views can be enjoyed from the comfort of the home's living room. 


The Portside

Amazon Prime

Sonos

Hot Tub

This a home that really makes you feel like you're on an English seaside holiday. It rests just a few steps from the pretty Deal seafront and the golden pebbles of the beach – you can even smell the fresh scent of the air from your home. 

It's only natural that uplifting aroma inspires you for a day by the shore. Grab your towels, bring some refreshments and enjoy an afternoon of sunbathing and swimming. If you fancy a break from the sun, you can always nip back home in under a minute. 

Once you're back home, you'll probably want to bask in the standout feature of the home – the hot tub in the garden. The feeling of the bubbles warming the skin, complemented by the colourful waves of flowers in the garden, means you'll never want to get out. 

When you do eventually prise yourself out of the water, the relaxing luxury continues. You can snuggle up in the hut with a cup of hot chocolate, listening to the sound of the waves kiss the shore. Or gather on the outdoor cushions with a cheeseboard and champagne, watching the gorgeous tones of sunset turn the sky into a burnt red.





Dealer's Choice

Enjoy day after day by the seaside with this contemporary beach home, boasting stunning views of the North Sea. There's so much to like here – the northern coast means you get sunset and sunrise on the water, there are plenty of areas to spread out and socialise, including a patio with a barbecue, and the location couldn't be much better, either. The town is a short stroll away, so you won't need to worry about running out of suncream, and Herne Bay is also excellently located for exploring Kent – you'll find Whitstable a few miles west, to the south is Canterbury, and to the east is Margate, all model day trip destinations.

The Sun & The Sand

Close to the medieval town of Sandwich, this modern barn has a private terrace and a large shared garden. With lovely views over the surrounding fields of rural Kent, hikers and cyclists can rejoice. We recommend hiring a car here – there's an array of friendly pubs and eateries an easy drive away, plus Kingsdown beach, and golf courses. Inside this home you'll find dedicated desks, a PC, and a stocked bookshelf up on the mezzanine level, perfect as a workspace or play area for children. The underfloor heating throughout is a small but luxurious touch, and the super king bed can become twin beds on request, great for families.

Gentle Geometrics

Underfloor Heating

Parking On Premises

Nestled into the vast Kent countryside, this whitewashed cottage is every bit as wholesome as you'd want from a country getaway. With beautiful gardens, an original fireplace, and farmhouse-style furniture, it's the perfect place to recharge. This home isn't without its mod-cons though, with underfloor heating, a coffee machine, and fast wifi, there's everything you need for a comfortable stay.

We love how sociable this home is – the ideal setting for a family getaway or a group of friends to reunite. Cosy armchairs provide the perfect spot for late-night catch-ups, a lovely dining table is fitting for dinners, drinks, and board games, while the kitchen is big enough for everyone to pitch in when preparing meals. And while we love the cottage's warm and comforting interior, the gardens really make this home sing. There's more than enough space for the little ones to run around while the grown-ups refresh the jug of Pimms and work on the barbecue. There's even space for a friendly game of rounders. 

If you're up early enough, you can catch an incredible sunrise from the front garden. But if not (you're on holiday after all), pull up a seat in the back garden for the most wonderful sunset, with whirling shades of pink and orange sinking into the Kent countryside. 

This is a really beautiful area. The quaint town of Sandwich is just a ten-minute drive away and is widely considered one of the best preserved medieval towns in England. Head to Sandwich Bay for windy walks on the beach, before tucking into some traditional fish and chips. 

Away in the Country

Desk

Tucked away on a quiet pedestrianised lane just off the winding streets of Deal, the flower-adorned way to the front door will feel like a hug for your soul. Stepping inside the home, you’ll notice a homely blend of traditional exposed beams and a brick fireplace that now houses a little wood-burning stove, alongside more modern furnishings.

With the beach minutes away, you might spend days sunbathing or walking the pier and promenade with soft serve in hand, but we recommend time at home to simply unwind with a good book as you curl up on the sofa. Take your morning coffee out into the small courtyard and enjoy the peace and quiet as you take your very first sip. Dine out there when the weather plays ball, and when it doesn’t, you can always kindle a fire and play board games or watch a movie together. 

There’s a number of boutique shops and cafes around to explore when you’re out and about, and with the local pub only a stone’s throw away, you can swing by on most days for a lunch and a pint.

This period property was built in the style of a South African homestead, so if you’re a fan of unusual features and are looking for a sizeable home, this one’s for you. The ground-floor annex is perfect for grandparents, and the children’s playroom and enclosed garden ensure that kids will love it too. With just four bathrooms for a large group, you might find yourself waiting a while in the mornings – and the bathrooms are showing some signs of wear and tear. This is a lived-in – and loved – family home, so it won’t suit everyone’s tastes.
