At Snaptrip, we have scoured this varied part of the UK to find the best South East self-catering properties. You can stay in a cosy cottage nestled in the Kent countryside, a rustic farmhouse in Berkshire, a beautiful old manor house in Oxfordshire, or even a lighthouse on the Isle of Wight.

Why choose the South East for your next getaway?
There is so much to discover in the South East. From miles of varied landscapes, picturesque countryside, historic towns, majestic stately homes and estates, stunning gardens, exciting cities, legendary landmarks, and even incredible theme parks.
The South East comprises several counties including Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Hampshire, Surrey, West Sussex, East Sussex, Kent, and the Isle of Wight. With the White Cliffs of Dover, Jane Austen Country, the Garden of England, and so much more, your only challenge is where to base yourself during your South East weekend break or staycation.
If a city break is what you're craving, then you can't do better than the capital. London is home to the West End, countless theatres, exciting markets, the vibrant East End, stunning royal parks, and plenty of amazing attractions such as The London Dungeons, The London Eye, the Tate Modern, Buckingham Palace, and so much more.
Are you craving a break from city life? Base yourself in the beautiful Isle of Wight and visit storybook villages, dangle above the Needles in a chairlift, gaze at the multi-coloured cliffs of Alum Bay, and kayak to hidden caves in Freshwater Bay. Or why not stay in historic Oxfordshire in the Cotswolds? Marvel at the striking university, wander down pretty streets, go for a punt, and relax by the river.
For a classic seaside holiday, you can't beat Brighton and Hove. The Lanes are picture-perfect and bustling with exciting shops, independent boutiques, charming cafes, and intriguing antique shops. Head to the famous Pier and challenge friends and family to a game or two at the arcades, or hold on tight as you go on the rides. Don't forget to grab some fish and chips or a drink on the promenade and park yourself on the beach to watch the waves.
To fully immerse yourself in some of the UK's best natural landscapes, base yourself in the National Parks of the New Forest or the South Downs. Watch wild horses as they gallop across the plains or find wild pigs and deer grazing.
Hampshire is a lovely county in the South East. With rural scenery, historic dockyards, and countless abbeys and castles dotted across the landscape, you'll never be short of things to do. The land of Downton Abbey is packed with idyllic countryside, a dramatic coastline, bracing walks, and thriving cities and towns. If you're travelling with little ones, don't forget to visit Paultons Park, the home of Peppa Pig World.
Kent is filled with historic castles, from the beautiful Leeds Castle and dramatic Rochester Castle to pretty Hever Castle, the childhood home of Anne Boleyn and where Henry VIII spent his honeymoon. Kent is also home to more Blue Flag beaches than anywhere else in the UK. Relax in the white sands of Botany Bay, try your hand at watersports at Joss Bay in Broadstairs, or go on a fossil hunt in Folkestone.
