About this property
Margate Home is a charming, two-bedroom holiday home resting in the bustling seaside town of Margate in Kent. Boasting well-appointed living spaces with eccentric décor, an enclosed rear garden with seating and barbecue, in a superb location just a stone’s throw from the closest shop, pub, and the lush sands of Margate Beach, this delightful abode welcomes a family or group of six seeking a refreshing coastal escape near the Kent Downs AONB. Park up roadside before you step into Margate Home, your lovely new home-from-home. Make yourself comfortable in the open-plan living space, where you can prepare a delicious feast in the fully-equipped kitchen, savour your dinners at the breakfast bar or dining table, before you kick back and relax in the sitting room to enjoy a film or two on the sleek, wall-mounted Smart TV. On warm evenings, take a glass of your favourite beverage out into the rear garden where outdoor seating and a barbecue invite you to delight in a proper alfresco affair. When the sun sets, refresh with a shower or a dip in the bath before you finally catch your rest in either a plush double or an inviting twin bedroom. If you can tear yourself from your brilliant new base, set out on foot to explore what the town of Margate has to offer. Stock up on essentials at any of the numerous convenience stores or supermarkets that rest just a short walk from your front door, before you settle down to tuck into a hearty pub lunch at The Oxford Pub, The Mulberry Tree, or the Rose in June. When you’re suitably fuelled, be sure to brush up on some local history at the interesting sites of Shell Grotto and the Margate Museum, snap photos of The Kings Steps and Drapers Windmill, enjoy some family-fun at the exciting Dreamland Margate amusement park, or simply amble along or sunbathe upon the tranquil golden sands of Margate Beach or Walpole Bay. For more adventures, jump in the car and head west to explore the outstanding landscapes of the Kent Downs AONB, home to an abundance of pristine hiking, biking, and walking trails, as well as the iconic sites and vistas of Belmont House and Gardens and the Wye Downs. For the ultimate escape to Kent, look no further than Margate Home.
Margate, a seaside holiday resort set on the east coast of Kent, has undergone much renovation, and boasts the new Turner Contemporary gallery. This historic seaside town, with its Theatre Royal dating back to 1787, offers entertainment for everyone, from fishing and golf to beaches and amusements. The Winter Gardens offers a wide variety of events including shows, concerts and musicals with top performers throughout the year. You can wander along the Margate Harbour Arm and Old Town to browse artists' studios, relax in one of the many bars or restaurants or hire a bike.

The Shell Grotto, with its 2000 square feet of winding underground passages, delights visitors while the Hornby Visitor Centre brings back the nostalgia of Britain's best loved toys.

Both bedrooms where a nice size with nice beds,one bedroom had a on suite bathroom. You only had on street parking both this was no problem as there was always a place to park. If you wanted to watch television you had to watch though a app as there no Ariel but then again this was no issue. Our main issue was the front and back doors. You could not really use the back door as someone has broken a key in the lock. We had problems all week with the front door as it was difficult to both lock and unlocked. In the end we had to contact the owner as we couldn't leave the property as the door would not lock .to be fair the owner got out to as quick as he could and sorted the problem. He has arranged a locksmith to go there and change both locks I would still recommend it to anyone thinking of staying in margate.we enjoyed our stay there

House was very clean and tidy and is a ten minute walk to the sea. Head to the Old Town for coffee shops and eateries. The beaches are all very clean.
