Characterful sea view flat

Welcome to my perfect seaside flat! This beautiful old building sits above the old Lido in Margate, a short walk from the Turner Contemporary and the hustle and bustle of Old Town. You can be on the beach in 3mins or sitting in one of Cliftonville's many beautiful cafes. My flat is light and airy with wooden floors throughout. A great pit-stop for a weekend by the sea, either as a couple or a small group. Please note if you are booking in winter that period buildings get cold! so pack a jumper.
