Just a ten-minute stroll from Margate Beach and Old Town's vintage shops and trendy cafes, this home is well-placed to explore Margate. The design swaps twee coastal curios for sleek, contemporary touches. Some rooms are snug – particularly the lounge when the sofa bed is in use – but it works for short trips. A tasty meal can easily be rustled up in the kitchen, while the tiny courtyard is ideal for a dog to get some fresh air. But the biggest bonus is the rooftop terrace. Accessed through one of the bedrooms, it boasts sea views in the distance and a bar to boot – that's sundowners covered.

About Margate
One of the earliest Victorian seaside resorts, Margate was one of the top spots for a summer holiday in the country for a long time.
