kick oneself for

The Remains of the Dayの主人公、Stevensは自動車旅行の途中で車の調子がおかしくなり、それを助けてくれたのが前回取り上げた "the Colonel's batman " ですが、その男が是非寄って行くと良い地元の池があると言います。
I told the man that I would have to be on my way and thanked him emphatically for his assistance. He was, after all, an amiable fellow, taking the trouble to guide me in reversing out through the gateway, and before I parted, he bent down and recommended again that I visit the local pond, repeating his instructions on how I would find it.
'It's a beautiful little spot,' he added. 'You'll kick yourself for missing it.
"kick yourself for missing" は慣用句の様ですが、前に取り上げた "I would be remiss if ..." と同じような意味ではないかと推測します。　辞書で確認します。(Ref. blog.alc.co.jp/blog/3302827/archive/2007/3/23 )
"kick oneself for missing" と言う慣用句は見あたりませんでしたが、"kick oneself (for　doing something)" で慣用句としての意味が載っていました。
・McGraw-Hill Dictionary of American Idioms and Phrasal Verbs: to regret doing something. I could just kick myself for going off and not locking the car door. Now the car has been stolen. Don't kick yourself. It's insured.
・Wiktionary: (idiomatic) To reproach oneself for making a mistake or missing an opportunity.: He's still kicking himself for not investing three years ago.
今日の教訓です。
I would be kicking myself for not reading "The Remains of the Day".
