"My room had a beautiful view of the ocean (JW Turner was right about those Margate sunsets - hard to beat!), and was very cosy and peaceful."

"Breakfast is not the usual set-up, so you have to take it as it comes, but we absolutely loved having hot fresh bacon and egg rolls in a brioche brought to our room so we could eat them in bed overlooking the sunshine on the North Sea."
