Walpole stay

10.0

Beautiful apartment with everything you need and lovely decorated throughout. A lovely view of the sea from the front room window.

− Just a little too far for us to walk into margate but we did twice and the rest we caught the bus

Great place to stay if you don’t want to be in the tourist area of Margate

Sea views and the apartment was nice

Cold draughty living room windows but great views

The view from the windows is so relaxing watching the numerous ships, the wind turbines, the dog walkers and the huge number of sea gulls flying over the promenade. We hardly watched TV at all, opting for the views even at nighttime.

− We stayed for 4 nights arriving on a very cold Xmas eve with a bitter 30mph north easterly wind blowing. Hoping to find a nice warm refuge we were disappointed that the thermostat (located in the hallway) was only set to 15°C but even more disappointed when we saw the very large cold draughty single glazed sash windows to the living room. The cold wind was whistling into the flat around the window frames even causing the blinds to move which meant the living room temperature was much lower. We ramped up the heating but there was only one radiator in the living room which was at the opposite side of the room to the windows so the heating was less effective. Faced with the prospect of spending Christmas in a cold draughty flat we actually considered going home but thought it best to tough it out. Leaving the heating on all night did improve matters but the cold wind was still blowing and the space around the windows was not a pleasant place to spend time watching the sea. It was now Christmas day so to reduce the draughty windows I inserted LOADS of tissue paper into the gaps. This made a huge difference as by the end of the day the room heated up to an acceptable level. Apart from the cold windows the other things we noticed were: The hallway radiator didn't heat up sufficiently due to a faulty valve. There was no folder with instructions for working the oven/hob/shower. The bedroom is small in comparison to the large living room size because the main and much larger bedroom is inaccessible. The owner of the property only contacted us once with the key code and a happy Christmas. There was no welcome hamper as we've had with all our other Xmas bookings. Also not even a pint of milk and only two miserable coffee pods were provided. Other issues were the kitchen window wouldn't open and there was no extractor fan.

Great spot to enjoy Margate and Kent. Great view, very well equipped appartment.

Very nice details added to the obvious highpoint: the sea view!

− Would be perfect equipped with a King or at least Queen size bed. The bed in place is definetly too small (for us).

3 night break in Margate

10.0

The apartment was excellent and provided for a wonderful stay in Margate. It was very comfortable and warm with lovely views out to sea from the sofa. The Tom Thumb Theatre around the corner was a delight and shopping on the Cliftonville main street was enjoyable with some nice cafes and vintage shops. It was easy to stroll into Margate along the sea front and it was fairly quiet at this time of year (end of October). All in all, this was a lovely three night break in a lovely apartment.
