Holidaying by electric car used to take planning; now it just takes the right base. Every one of the hotels on this page has a public charge point within a mile — close enough to top up while you unpack, walk the dog or sleep.
The map below shows both together — red pins for the hotels, green pins for the chargers — and each listing's page lists its nearest charger's connector types and speed, straight from the national Open Charge Map register.

A week away is the easiest EV ownership ever gets: you're parked most of the day, so even a 7kW post fills the battery between beach trips. Rapid CCS units suit a splash-and-dash before a day out; overnight-friendly Type 2 posts near your accommodation quietly do the rest. Download the charger network's app before you travel, and check each listing's page for the nearest unit's speed.
