"Verzeih happy with our stay! Bathtub was a particular highlight and the location is unrivalled! We attended the nearby Lovebox festival and had an amazing time!"
"Paul was super welcoming and accommodating and had some lovely suggestions for things to do in Margate. The Beetroot is in great location and there are plenty of places to get a drink, food or coffee less than 5 minutes away. The room itself was lovely and the bed was super comfy. The seating outside the room and the courtyard are a nice touch too. Thanks Paul! We’d definitely stay again."
