This three bedroom (sleeping six) cottage is cheerful, newly refurbished and will provide an ideal base for a holiday in Margate! With one large double bedroom, and two with single beds, it will cater for most family groups and has a spacious kitchen and living room. The kitchen boasts ample workspace, a five burner hob (and pepsi light!) and is fully equipped - with a table seating six or more. The living room seats seven with TV, DVD, stereo etc. A private, sunny terrace garden to the side is great for summer barbecues and also for secure storage for bicycles. The house is a (brisk) 5/8 minute walk from the Old Town and Margate beach - and is also close to the Cliftonville beaches. Buses to Ramsgate, Broadstairs and Canterbury stop close by and there are 2 (!) supermarkets within a short walk.

Enjoyed our stay at this house, well located for Margate old town, the beach and cliftonville. Good bedrooms, steep stairs down to the one in lower ground floor. Great kitchen with everything you need and more. The living room is a nice size. There's no WiFi, the mobile reception was good though.
Fab kitchen, clean and well equipped, perfect for our family Christmas. Good communication from host.Beds were very comfy.Loved the courtyard - private and would be lovely for sitting out in the summer. Location is ideal, close to Northdown Road - eclectic and retro shops here. Walking distance to beach, old town plus lots of different bars and restaurants.There's no wifi in the property, which was the only negative for us.
The house offered excellent value for money. It was was presentable and clean with all basic amenities covered. It's location was excellent for a quick walk into the centre of Margate. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this accomodation!
We had a lovely time at this house in Margate. Plenty of space for our family, a lovely sunny yard and in a great location for easily accessing Margate Old Town and the beach. It was really excellent value for a summer trip.

August soul festival holiday
Booking in communication great, cottage local to supermarket NEAR old town and sea front, actual area a bit run down but much quieter than expected.
Although the cottage was lovely and had a good feeling great there is a dishwasher and washing machine it certainly needs a spring clean but turned a blind eye for the week . Enjoyed time there plenty big enough for 5/6 people could do with another sun bed only 1 between 5 of us but on the whole enjoyed holiday
Property was excellent. Well appointed and in the perfect location to the town centre and beach. Property was lovely and clean and well cared for. We had a great stay. Thank you
We had a great time staying here for a weekend in Margate. It was a clean, comfortable and cosy place to come back to after spending the day at a festival at Dreamland.
Everything was within walking distance and communications were easy.
Fantastically well appointed, home from home. Host has catered for every eventuality. Located close to the beachfront and town with its myriad of entertainment and dining options. Also affords a good base for touring further afield in Kent. The only downside for us was the lack of nearby parking upon arrival. We would heartily recommend and hope to return in the near future.
The location of the house is perfect. It's really close to the old town, the best pubs, galleries, and antique and vintage stores. We loved the house and the outdoor space and felt so at home. The step at the kitchen entrance, however, was too steep for my 12-year old dog as his legs aren't working like they used to. It's the easiest way to get to the back patio. Fortunately, we figured out a way to get our dog back there! We love Margate, and staying at Peter's house made our visit even better!
This place felt like a home away from home! It had everything that we needed. We absolutely enjoyed our stay here. The house is located very close to the beach and town centre. We can't wait to come back.
Beautiful. The location is perfect, the courtyard garden was perfect for restful evenings. The bath was my favourite part of the house, it is huge. There were a few issues, personal to my health but would recommend this house to anyone listening.
Very comfortable sunny house with a lovely seaside vibe.
Would have been good to know in advance that one room was in the basement and was darker and cooler than the others. However our teen loved it! Access for an older member of the group was difficult.though.
Overall very well appointed house.The flowers on arrival were a nice touch.
Really seamless experience, Pete contacted us with details for checking in before we arrived. There was information about local facilities and attractions available at the house. The property was spacious, clean and well equipped for our family, 2 adults, 2 teens and an 8 year old. We thought a lack of a wi-fi might be problematic for the kids but with a beach and park in close proximity they didn't mind. I liked the artwork around the house and we enjoyed having an outside space to sit. We found parking on the street without difficulty, and plenty of shops nearby. A really good location, I'd recommend this property. Many thanks for a lovely stay.
