The fact that Britain is an island is an important factor. You have to embark your soldiers, which makes things more complicated. The other factor was that she built a powerful navy. The Romans, Vikings and Normans conquered Britain before the islanders had a significant navy. Later, the British navy defeated the Spanish invincible armada (fleet). Victory at sea was key to staving off this attempt at invasion.
In World War II the air force fought and won the Battle of Britain in the skies which ended Hitler's hope to invade by destroying British industry with his air force, which was a strategy he used because he did hot have much of a chance to defeat the British naval defence. Hitler also tried to starve Britain through a naval blockade, but the convoys to and from America prevented this, despite German submarines sinking many ships.

Why did Hitler hate Britain so much?
There is no evidence that he did. Many senior Nazis admired the British empire, how such a small country could control so much land and so many people. Hitler certainly saw Britain and France as Germanys rivals but he hated the communists and wanted to destroy the USSR. The Germans never made a serious attempt to invade Britain and in the end it was to their strategic cost, it lost them the war.
