Wonderful!

Wonderfully spacious, clean, lots of amenities and even toys for the kids! This place was wonderful to stay, just a short walk to the beach, arcades, dreamland, and train station. Everything was clean and we had no issues while we were there. Highly recommend for families or larger groups!

Wonderful Seaside Weekend

The house was perfect for a weekend away with three couples. Really clean and we used the garden for all our meals. The location is definitely 11\10. Under a 5 minute walk to the beach and the old town with great bars and restaurants. Would highly recommend.

Lovely house, great location

We were 3 sets of adults sharing the house, and even though it's one shared bathroom that didn't present a problem. The property is in an excellent location and well maintained and has some nice touches.

Ein sehr süßes Häuschen ganz nahe am Strand

Das Haus ist sehr schön, liebevoll gestaltet und nur wenige Schritte vom Strand entfernt. Es enthält alles, was man braucht, sogar bis hin zu Netflix. Es gibt außerdem eine exzellente Bücherauswahl im Regal! Kish und Fiona sind sehr freundlich und haben uns sehr gut weitergeholfen, als wir Fragen hatten. Der komplette Aufenthalt war sehr unkompliziert. Parkplätze gibt es in der Straße direkt für zwei Stunden. Über Nacht stellt man das Auto besser auf einem nahegelegenen Parkplatz ab.

Fabulous house

The house is even better than the pics. The downstairs area is really spacious with great thought given to the different areas. Worked really well for us, a group of 6 with a crawling baby. Lovely touches everywhere, interesting books and simple contemporary decor. A really comfortable space. Two really big bedrooms & a twin & lovely bathroom. Right in the buzziest area of town & minutes from the beach. So much for everyone on the doorstep!

Amazing Place for 6

Amazing property and brilliant hosts. The place was spotless and had everything that we needed for our trip. It’s in a great central location. The Thai restaurant 10 yards up the road is great.

Excellent location

We spent a few days at the Anchorage. The location was ideal, near to supermarkets and the old town. The beach was a short walk away. The house was a real treat, it was spacious and comfortable. The care and attention to detail is evident. Everything had been carefully thought through for guests so you need not worry about anything. Thank you Kish and Fiona. We hope to be back again soon.

Lovely spacious property in a great location

This is the second time we have stayed in this property and we really enjoyed ourselves. We came to celebrate my mothers 60th birthday. There were 6 of us but the house provided more than enough room. It was clean and comfortable and is in a great location in the old town of Margate. The outside space needs a little attention but this is probably just due to the summer season wear and tear. I have no doubt we will most likely return again in the future.
