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. 💕

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

The room was EVERYTHING. Luxury, every tiny detail was thought out. From the cocktails in the mini-bar, to the locally made bath salts. This really was a dream come true. The only thing I would say is for a luxury hotel with a luxury room, the mindset of the management doesn't match. There isn't really any flexibility on small things / ability to accomodate in the way you might expect from a hotel of this standard. For example we wanted to check out 45 mins later and there wasn;t a booking immediately after us - but could not be accomodated without paying. We wanted a different kind of coffee, but you need to pay extra for certain coffees.. Either way HIGHLY recommended.

Very stylish! Comfy bed and quirky amenities. The coffee machine was temperamental and the lack of direct access to the main hotel was a shame as we had a spa treatment but couldn't really walk through the street with our robes on. The milk jugs at breakfast were dirty both days. Overall we had a great time but where the attention to detail in some areas was great, it lacked in others.
