Beautiful cottage in the heart of Margate old town

Absolutely loved our stay! Perfect location is an understatement, we never had to walk further than 10 mins from the front door to our destinations, and usually more like 5 minutes, and the property has parking! The cottage itself is amazingly decorated with everything you could need for a comfortable and cosy stay, and the garden is perfect for dogs as it has high walls. Sunetra left us a few provisions and treats for making breakfast as well which was a lovely extra touch and much appreciated! The beds are a little firm and I’d recommend replacing the astroturf with real grass, but those are pretty minor, and we really loved the place; we would be more than happy to stay again!
