    The house was very pretty, quirky and comfortable with probably the best bed I’ve slept in when staying at holiday lets. Kitchen was well equipped for everything we needed. Would have loved to sit out in the garden but the weather was against us....

Company info

We are a family who love to travel, having explored much of the UK & spent many happy summers driving around Europe we've been settled in East Kent for 20 years. It's just the loveliest place, beautiful sandy beaches which are windswept and solitary in the winter and buzzing and social in the summer. Our holiday homes in East Kent are our pride and joy & we love welcoming guests to our little corner of Kent.

Property info

The kitchen has a dishwasher/washer/dryer and a Tassimo coffee machine. The bathroom has bath with shower (over the bath). Fully decked garden with seating, perfect for evening drinks or morning coffee. Two bedrooms, 1 king-size bed & the second room with 2 single beds. Perfect for accommodating a family group or two couples. As you walk through the front door you'll be greeted with a seaside retreat, emphasis of blue decor to create a calm, restful feel. *Lounge/Diner* Comfortable seating with plenty of cushions and throws, two sofas and a curved stool which can be used to prop your feet on out sit down on. The TV is a Smart TV and you can log onto your various apps/TV streaming services such as Netflix. The dining table sits 4 people and perfect for a meal or a board game. In the sideboard next to the table you'll find plates and bowls, plus cookery books and board games for your use. *Kitchen* The compact kitchen is surprisingly spacious, lots of work surface and cleverly laid out. Full size fridge (and small freezer), full size oven, 4 ring hob, compact dishwasher + washer/dryer.

The high fencing provides a private space, with sunny and shady spots, fully decked and we have garden seating for 4. On a summer's evening we just love sitting out here with a glass of wine and breathing in the sea air. *Bathroom* Full size slipper bath, with a rainfall shower and second shower head, basin & toilet The lovely pink tiles make this space feel warm and happy. *Master Bedroom* We love our French ornate bed, it is king-size super comfy mattress.

Neighborhood info

Located on a quiet residential road, it is a one way road so not much passing traffic. You can usually get a parking space on the road. The street is an eclectic mix of young professionals, retired couples and families. On a Sunday afternoon you'll come across children riding bikes in the street, running out for the ice cream van and families chatting in the street. It's all very old fashioned and typical of Cliftonville's mix of different groups. We are two minutes walk from Shell Grotto, the famous Scott's Reclamation Store is at the end of our road. Northdown Road with convenience stores, coffee shops, cafes and antiques/refurb furniture is only a 2-3 minute walk. There is an Aldi 10 minutes walk from the property. You can reach the beach within 5-10 minutes walk, a minute from the Ubur cool Cliftonville centre (Northdown Rd) and Margate town takes about 10 minutes stroll. Margate is buzzing, we have so much happening in our town. From concerts at Dreamland, The Turner Gallery, The Old Town, fabulous restaurants, bars, music venues and cafes popping up all over the place. The art scene is really strong, inspired by Tracey Eminen, you can spend hours looking around the many art shops and galleries located around Margate. Cliftonville is officially the coolest neighbourhood to live (TimeOut) and you reach this area within about a 10 minutes stroll. Here you'll find Uber cool cafes, a treasure trove of reclamation shops, furniture shops and Aldi! If you need to pop out for supplies, Northdown Rd - there you'll find shops/chemists/bakers/butchers etc. Oh and the beach, Margate Main Sands - 10 minutes walk. Just as easy to get to are the many other beaches dotted along the coastline. Look up Louisa Bay, much quieter in peak season and just as beautiful.
