Never visited England ? - choosing your ideal location to stay on holiday

The UK is, despite its relatively small size as a country, is a land of wonderful contrasts for the visitor, old and young alike, be it countryside, heritage, architecture, art, flora or fauna.

Hampshire, in the south, is a beach holiday makers’ paradise which, along with Kent and the Isle of Wight feature some of the UK’s best beaches. And often the first line of defence against invading armies over the centuries, these counties prove popular with visitors seeking an insight into the historical, cultural and architectural development of England. The port cities of Portsmouth and Southampton in Hampshire and Dover in Kent are excellent gateways into the UK via car ferry. Kent is also referred to as the "Garden of England" and is a nature lover’s delight.

Coupled with this, the coastal counties often provide the best in fresh fish and seafood to delight the palettes of the epicurean or the skills of the home cook. And talking of food, Wiltshire is world-famous for its ham, cheese (north), butter (south) as well as its fresh farm produce.

A one-time seat of the English Parliament, Hertfordshire is one of the historic counties of England and as such features many places and tourist attractions of significant importance, while Sussex and East Sussex have a particularly long heritage dating back to Roman times.

And London, as one of the world’s premier international cities offers everything for everyone, with iconic attractions, diverse food, superb entertainment and shopping - simply so much for people of all ages.

It's hard to advise where to choose to stay - you should consider what is important to you in the way of holiday activities and 'what is on' - outdoor pursuits, seaside, culture, rural, city base and then browse through a selection of amazing cottages to rent in England.

Transport is also an important factor - and we show cottages by map location to help you see the distances involved. For short weekend breaks you may want to stay close to a transport hub so that you get maximum time in your holiday home
