Exceptional little hotel
Wonderful little hotel. I normally shy away from smaller hotels and go for the big name brands, but this hotel had good reviews and there were limited options in Margate. What a revelation. It’s a fabulous hotel. Every staff member I spoke to was friendly and welcoming. The bed was incredibly comfortable and they had thought of everything. I loved the little pantry for snacks, the radio and record players were nice touches and the robe and slippers are always welcome. The view was great too. Breakfast was delicious. I will definitely be back if I’m sent to Margate again with work or for a mini break

Beautiful rooms with great amenities, including a pantry with sweets and cakes! Amazing breakfast in the Pearly Cow restaurant downstairs. Only downside was we were too early in the season to enjoy the rooftop (not the hotel’s fault) but plenty of bars, microbreweries and cafes nearby to choose from instead.

A Gem of a treat.
Wonderful stay in a quirky questhouse. Our luggage was picked iup at the train station in their luggage bike (by the owner!)and delivered to our room so we could enjoy fish and chips on the beach at the Kiosk (very nice) and visit the Turner Art Centre before check in. Easy short walk after our stay with luggage to the station.
We were not in a sea facing room but enjoyed breakfasts in the beautiful Pearly Cow restaurant and visited the top floor bar.
The room was very large and stunningly decorated. Bathroom was quite separate with the best shower she has ever had according to my sister while I luxuriated in the bath. Top quality bathroom lotions. Very laid back vibe. And The Pantry, complimentary, where we couldn't resist popping out for fudge, sweets, beautiful cakes, ice cream and cold drinks.
A Gem of a Guesthouse. 💕
