A Perfect Stay in Margate

Had a fantastic stay at The Hopewell! Ady and Sam are wonderful hosts; warm, welcoming, and full of great recommendations around Thanet. The house is beautifully decorated, spotless, and the bed is incredibly comfortable. Perfect location, just a short walk from Margate’s highlights. Highly recommended!

Wonderful stay in Margate

Ady & Sam were wonderful hosts! Their house is perfectly located, within walking distance of the old town, restaurants and a much quieter shore than the beach right at the entrance to Margate. They had fantastic recommendations for food and drink, and Ady’s suggestion to walk to Botany Bay and then back along the sand at low tide was the highlight of our weekend. Our room was very large, with tons of closet space and a nice window seat. The shower was spacious, the whole place was very clean, and the bed was comfortable. We’ll definitely reach out to Ady & Sam next time we visit Margate, and not just because I miss their cats (who were very friendly but also totally out of the way, if you happen to not like cats)

Luxurious, spacious and peaceful guesthouse.

This beautifully decorated, comfortable guesthouse is a 15-minute walk from the main attractions in Margate, with several things such as the amazing Shell Grotto and the Walpole Bay tidal pool much closer. We stayed in Palm, which is an enormous bedroom with a private bathroom down the corridor. The bed was gigantic and very comfortable. The entire house is spacious, meticulously clean, and has the feel of a 5* hotel. Ady and Sam are very gracious and knowledgeable hosts, allowing you the use of the kitchen and giving excellent recommendations of things to see and do. Cannot recommend highly enough.
