Beautiful views.Rooms need revamp.
Unfortunately they were unaware of our stay & unprepared.The owner was away.However her friend/assistant (?) Loraine was very helpful and did her best to sort out the issues and settle us in.She was warm and kind and advised best place to for dinner and a swim.Frankly the photos on-line seemed misleading and we were disappointed with the rooms.Need a serious revamp/renovation.Not good value for money at all.Lorraine and lady serving nice breakfast were very pleasant by contrast.

Excellent guest house
This is an excellent guest house just outside Margate town center. I stayed in Room 6, the penthouse and it was lovely, fantastic sea views and you can have your breakfast on the enclosed patio. This was wonderful! Safe and secure car parking and the honesty bar is nice

Reasonable accommodation, but could be better
Amazing view and easy walking access to a pristine beach. The owners dogs can be a nuisance at times. Breakfast is very limited, and does not have much to offer in terms of being Halaal friendly. Accommodation is reasonably maintained but could be better.

Excellent Bed and Breakfast in Margate
No question this is an excellent place to stay in Margate. Terrific views of the ocean, friendly and courteous staff and Sharon, the owner, is simply the best - so helpful and attends to your every need! The rooms were clean, spacious and well appointed and the breakfasts were excellent. Without a doubt, A+++ accommodation!

Wonderful hosts who did all to make us comfortable. In fact when a change occurred in our plans we returned and booked an extra 3 nights. Sharon and Travis are lovely kind hosts who do everything possible to help. Great breakfasts and stunning ocean views! Thanks to them for helping make our trip the best.

Splendide vue sur l’océan
Magnifique guest house avec super extérieur. Cet établissement était un point d’arrêt pour notre Road Trip. Malheureusement il pleuvait et n’avons pas pu profiter de la piscine et de la plage à quelques mètres en empruntant les escaliers. Magnifique vue, à recommander. Le wifi ne fonctionne pas très bien dans mes chambres.
