“Very well run guest house”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 March 2011

Pros:
- Run quite efficiently, with friendly staff.
- Breakfasts were the best I had at any B&B on my trip.
- Room was clean and well appointed.
- Within walking distance of Boardwalk complex of entertainment and restaurants.

Cons:
- Would be nice if the Wi-Fi was free.
- If you bus in, you'll find this location more difficult to get to.

“Warm and welcoming”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 November 2010

Spent a week at the Margate late October 2010 and enjoyed every minute of it. The staff were very welcoming, polite and friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. The rooms were all spotless and homely. I would definitely stay there again. Thanks to all for making our stay a memorable one.

“Great B&B - made to feel very welcome”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 November 2010

We travelled from the UK for a friends wedding. Myself and my partner had the excellent garden room which was beautiful. The location is just close enough the the local resturants and bars. The breakfast was excellent and cooked to order! Everything we could have asked for. Debbie was very friendly and helpful. We stayed here with a number of the other weddings guests and it was a great central point for us all.
Would definalty go back again if staying in PE.

“I Keep Going Back”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 August 2010

I make a yearly trip to PE for Ironman. Saying at Margate Place has become part of the whole amazing experience for me. It's a quiet place to relax, a friendly place to invite friends to, it's comfy and personal. I rate the whole Margate team.
