Lovely stay just needs simple repair
"Very convenient, 20mins away from the town centre, nicely decorated & easy to park. Only reason for not being perfect throughout is the bedding was a bit thin and the electric meter cupboard door was broken so it banged in the wind & kept me up. Otherwise great"

Beautiful coastline and some lovely places to wine, dine and shop, sadly the amenities in the area are somewhat neglected .

5/5 - Excellent

It's a great place with lots of character. We've been 3 times this year!

4/5 - Good

Margate is changing rapidly but also keeps it's identity. There is an evident divide between the working class locals and the sporadic wealthier tourists. Not everybody's cup of tea I presume but it is something we personally love.

3/5 - Okay

Enjoyed the Shell grotto, caves and turner gallery
