Comfy, cosy, clean, .... I could give a lot more positives but the best thing about this place was how friendly and helpful Sally and Stuart were. We enjoyed meeting then and we enjoyed our stay.

Victorian Splendour with Sea Views

JessicaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
My friends and I had the best time at Jacqui's place. We had a girls weekend with 6 moms and our 6 daughters all under 3 years old and the place was absolutely perfect. Lots of space so we never felt on top of each other, the en suites in every room were a nice surprise--we knew there were a lot of bathrooms but didn't realise so many of them were en suite! There was a living room already filled with toys when we got there which made the weekend so much easier, plus a second living room for the adults to hang in and not have to look at toys once the kids were asleep! The house was really well equipped for us, the beds were all incredibly comfortable, and it was nice having a dining table big enough for everyone to sit at. Location was great too-- it was great being able to look out the windows and see the sea, and it's very walkable into downtown Margate. We're already discussing when we can visit again!

Romantic countryside hideaway

PaulRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This truly was a magical experience. The host did everything she could to make our stay as comfortable as possible and covered every detail eg, The jam, butter, marmalade and milk all stored in beautiful glass decanters. The room was stunning and aesthetically perfect, so clean, cosy and tasteful. Tracy was a hoestess with the mostess and we'd be back just to have a cup of tea with her let alone the stunning apartment. She left no stone left unturned when it came to guests needs, there was even an emergency toothbrush and toothpaste in case someone had forgotten (us) haha. Highly recommend if you want an escape to a snap shot of paradise. X

Bright Modern Holiday Villa

TomRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Had a lovely few days at Craig & Imogen’s property. They were great hosts, really responsive. We had a minor issue on the first evening and Craig was there within 20 minutes to sort it. The place is on a busy main road, but inside is an oasis of calm. Beautifully presented with everything you could hope for. Easy 10 minute walk in Margate (or buses are available). Would definitely recommend

White Caps, Camber Sands- spacious beach home

JoshRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Fantastic beach house. Very spacious and well equipped to host 2 families (4 adults and 5 kids). Lovely interior and big garden with lots to do for the kids (games, toys, swings in garden). New table tennis table was a bonus! Karl was very responsive and provided everything we could have wanted. Brilliant location, 5 min walk from the beach. We spent a weekend here but could have happily done longer and would hope to come back in the future for either a week or 2 holiday or another long weekend. Thanks for having us!

Sunshine Villa Broadstairs sleeps 8 close to beach

PaolaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This is our second time at Janette’s place and we will certainly come back. This time we were joined by our friends to celebrate two special bdays. We had a great weekend. Janette’s house is stunning, extremely comfortable, it has everything you need. We were able to cook a lovely dinner on Saturday night and it was like being in our own home. The place is spotless, a close proximity to the beach and loads of lovely restaurants. We couldn’t ask for any better than this. Thank you x

Highview

CharlotteRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Great place to stay. David was really helpful at check-in and friendly throughout. The place was clean and tidy - if anything, looked better than the pictures! Close to the harbour arm (about a 15min walk) and to the shops, etc., for coffee. Would definitely stay again.

Bosleys caravan let

CarolRating, 5 stars5 months ago
This caravan is a bit special. It’s super clean and attractively fitted out with a lot of thought having gone into the look and functionality. The bathroom is roomier than expected and has a great shower. The kitchen is well equipped. The heaters get the place toasty in no time at all. Kelly is an excellent host and did everything to make our stay easy and pleasant.
