Watching the ever-changing moods of the seas through the window of this newly renovated, high-style Margate apartment is a moment you'll never tire of, trust us. Set in Cliftonville, a smart pocket of the seaside town just a two-minute walk from the seafront promenade, it's easy to see the draw of this neighbourhood. Grab a coffee to go from one of Cliftonville's buzzy cafes, then mooch along to the fantastic Walpole Tidal Pool (nine minutes away) or a smidge further in the opposite direction, the silk-sanded shores of Margate Beach (eighteen minutes on foot). For a hefty dose of seaside nostalgia, the kitsch amusement park, Margate Dreamland (a twenty-five minutes walk), is just the ticket. Or, for something a little more highbrow, the Turner Contemporary Gallery will do nicely (an eighteen-minute walk). As will the Old Town's wander-worthy lanes – its vintage shops and happening restaurants is an afternoon well spent. Back at home, you'll love how quiet this apartment feels, set out across the top two floors of a Victorian property. The bay window nook is the perfect spot for a tete-a-tete over morning coffees as you soak up the sea vistas. While upstairs, one big hug of a king-sized bed... awaits when it's time to get your forty winks. And just wait till you see the views of Margate's spectacular sunsets blazing through the bedroom window.

About Margate
One of the earliest Victorian seaside resorts, Margate was one of the top spots for a summer holiday in the country for a long time. Until, that is, the rise of the cheap package holiday in the seventies. Now, after a few years in the wilderness, this little town is back with a bang. Packed with culture vultures, great food and drinks businesses, and a thriving arts scene, if you’re...
