Nice stay in a lovely cottage
About the cottage itself everiyhing is positive:
It is large, cozy and well-equipped, with a large garden.
Short distance to the beach.
In contradiction Margate itself was a little disapointing. Many houses and streets in the town are very neglected, lots of waste laying around. Incomprehensible for such a well-known holiday resort
