Possibly the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in! The design is impeccable, every detail is well thought out and looks absolutely beautiful. We had a balcony room which was simply gorgeous, it felt like the best room in town - very spacious, calm, wonderful view. All the staff were extremely welcoming and helpful. Truly a perfect stay and would already love to return.

Lovely property right on the front at Margate. Beautifully designed and maintained room. I really enjoyed the breakfast, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier or more helpful. My own fault for not checking but can’t rate the dinner as the restaurant was closed on Tuesday night.
