Happy as a Clam

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.

Home truths:
*One well-behaved dog is welcome. There's a small enclosed courtyard off the kitchen ideal for pups.
*At full capacity, two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the living room. If you'd like ample room for socialising, we'd suggest a maximum guest count of four.
*The roof terrace is accessed through one of the bedrooms and is up a steep flight of stairs. It has a bar, wine cooler, sink, and barbecue.
*The sitting room is down two steps. Other than the sofa bed, all bedrooms are located upstairs.
*You'll find the washing machine in a cupboard under the stairs.
*On-street parking is available in the local area. Though a car isn't needed to explore Margate, you may want one for adventures further afield.
