This warm and welcoming Margate hideaway is perfect for exploring the best of the British seaside. Start your day with coffee in the courtyard, then head out to the beach, just a five-minute stroll away. Inside, the open-plan living space is made for sharing meals or sinking into the sofa after a long day at Dreamland. The setting is hard to beat — close to the Turner Contemporary, the retro shops of the Old Town and the mystery of the Shell Grotto — but still tucked away on a quiet street that’s perfect for recharging between adventures.

Home truths:
*There’s no private parking. But there's a car park is nearby for an additional fee, plus on-street parking.
