Stable Cottage

Margate, Kent

Located in Margate, Kent, this pleasant coastal retreat offers two holiday cottages that blend historical charm with modern comforts. Dating back to 1652, the properties were originally part of a working dairy farm and are situated conveniently next to the owners’ home. The cottages provide an ideal getaway for couples or small families, with Stable Cottage accommodating two guests and Farm Cottage comfortably sleeping four. Both cottages feature gas central heating, electricity, bed linen, and towels included, ensuring a comfortable stay throughout the year.

Stable Cottage, renovated in 2018, showcases original features such as an exposed wall in the living room, enhancing its rustic appeal. This cottage includes a cozy living area, a well-equipped kitchen, and an en-suite bedroom with a kingsize bed. Guests can unwind in the front garden or enjoy the shared lawned garden equipped with furniture and a barbecue. Farm Cottage offers a similar experience with an open-plan living/dining room and a unique chalk cave that the owners are happy to show guests, making it an intriguing aspect of their stay.

The location of these cottages is perfect for exploring the vibrant coastal town of Margate, just a short stroll away. Visitors can immerse themselves in local attractions such as the Turner Gallery, Margate Old Town, and the Shell Grotto. For those seeking entertainment, the Winter Gardens hosts live music events, while Dreamland offers retro amusement rides. Outdoor enthusiasts can take advantage of the nearby Viking Coastal Trail, a scenic 27-mile cycling route, or embark on a boat trip to spot seals on the sandbanks.

In addition to the local offerings, a short drive leads to Broadstairs, known for its stunning Viking Bay and picturesque walks, as well as Ramsgate Royal Harbour. Cultural experiences abound, particularly during the Broadstairs Folk Week in August, which is easily accessible from the cottages. Furthermore, a trip to the historic city of Canterbury is a must, featuring its impressive cathedral and city walls. Together, Stable Cottage and Farm Cottage provide an exceptional base for discovering the rich heritage and natural beauty of the South of England's coastline.
