my husband and i stayed here as we were getting married in the area. we stayed in the sea view room and it was absolutely marvelous! everything was clean and the staff were all so wonderful and helpful (we got lost when finding parking but someone came out and showed us! it was dark so we couldn’t see). their spa package was also wonderful and relaxing. would happily stay again!

The room was EVERYTHING. Luxury, every tiny detail was thought out. From the cocktails in the mini-bar, to the locally made bath salts. This really was a dream come true. The only thing I would say is for a luxury hotel with a luxury room, the mindset of the management doesn't match. There isn't really any flexibility on small things / ability to accomodate in the way you might expect from a hotel of this standard. For example we wanted to check out 45 mins later and there wasn;t a booking immediately after us - but could not be accomodated without paying. We wanted a different kind of coffee, but you need to pay extra for certain coffees.. Either way HIGHLY recommended.

Very stylish! Comfy bed and quirky amenities. The coffee machine was temperamental and the lack of direct access to the main hotel was a shame as we had a spa treatment but couldn't really walk through the street with our robes on. The milk jugs at breakfast were dirty both days. Overall we had a great time but where the attention to detail in some areas was great, it lacked in others.

Gem of a hotel in Margate

This is a beautiful, gem of a hotel in Margate. There is a relaxed atmosphere as soon as you step in. We had a room looking onto the sea with a balcony. The room was very big and spacious with lots of amenities. The decor is stylish with additional touches like a record player and vintage phone and radio. The pantry with free snacks on the second floor is a lovely addition too. The restaurant which is used for breakfast is stylish with a good view of the sea. While we didn’t have the best weather for a seaside visit (!) the hotel made up for it making it a lovely night away. I would definitely recommend this hotel The staff were all pleasant and happy to help.

Beautiful rooms with great amenities, including a pantry with sweets and cakes! Amazing breakfast in the Pearly Cow restaurant downstairs. Only downside was we were too early in the season to enjoy the rooftop (not the hotel’s fault) but plenty of bars, microbreweries and cafes nearby to choose from instead.
