Had a wonderful stay at Hannah and Steve's lovely guesthouse. As a Margate resident I can tell you the location is perfect. Bang inbetween Dreamland, the golden sands of the seafront and the trendy bars of Cliftonville. Amazing sea view. But the welcome drink and complimentary breakfast made it a fabulous experience.

Just stayed at The Bay Guest House in Margate and I’m in love Such a cosy place spotted by the sea, so affordable to be fair, quiet and peaceful with the loveliest lady hosting. Can you believe they still do complimentary drinks and breakfast? Unreal! Honestly, made my trip so special. 100% recommend — love, Naff
I stayed for one night. It was absolutely amazing so comfortable & peaceful & not far from the beach which was wonderful. Some lovely ling walks along the waters edge so nice. Both hosts were very nice friendly & chatty. And complimentary breakfast to your room was a bonus point. I will definitely be back again. Thanks guys.
Thank you for a lovely stay on the weekend. Big shout out to Dave and Fran for their kindness, warmth, hospitality and care. The sea view room was a nice surprise Dave you nailed the breakfast roll, knew how I liked my eggs
