The location of this property is its true selling point - such close proximity to the beach (with very good beach bars) and the town, which has a welcoming, community vibe, and station. An easy walk to some great eating places, and into Margate. The house is well-equipped and a good size, providing two sitting rooms and two bathrooms/shower rooms. Read moreA lovely modern kitchen, comfortable beds and sofas, and a good size dining area. Plenty to do and explore in this fantastic part of Kent. The Viking Coastal Trail enables safe and easy walking or cycling between bays and beaches. We highly recommend a visit to this beautiful area. Hide

A nice house, well equipped, comfy beds. Location to beach was awesome, reason we chose this house. Lovely to walk to the sea in minutes, great beach bar/cafe, restaurant. Had a lovely meal at St Mildreds Bay restaurant. Lovely walks along the promenade. Nice day in Canterbury, everywhere also very accessible by train.

We walked from the house to Broadstairs, which was a delight. We also walked from Reculver to Herne Bay. Both routes were very accessible and we found refreshments and loos en route. We spent a wonderful few days in Westgate-on-Sea. The spacious townhouse is bright and sunny with a good quality kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms. We will be back!
