“This is a place to embrace Margate's character, with rooms that have absorbed decades of seaside air. The breakfast buffet, especially the scrambled eggs, is a clear highlight, best enjoyed in the dining room or on the terrace. It's the kind of establishment where the fading September light and a G&T on the terrace feel perfectly in tune.”
