LOCATION Broadstairs is brimful of nostalgic old-world seaside charm, with seven sandy beaches to choose from - we're on top of Viking Bay, the magnificent horseshoe-shaped main beach, or head to Joss Bay to learn to surf, or rural Botany Bay to saunter amid towering chalk stacks. Keep on walking or pedalling to join the 25-mile Viking coastal trail. Clifftop walks, independent shops, galleries, restaurants, cafes, bars and pubs as well as small supermarkets, butchers and bakeries are all on your doorstep. There’s always a festival on! Blues Bash in February, Dickens Week in June, the Bandstand musicians throughout the summer, the Water Gala in July/August, Folk Week in August, and the Food and Drink Festival in October. Only a few miles away you have Margate with Dreamland, Margate Old Town with lots of independent shops, restaurants, cafes, antique shops, and the Turner Contemporary gallery. In the other direction is Ramsgate with its Royal Harbour - take out a boat for seal watching or sea fishing, or just to watch the boats from its many cafes and bars. For serious golfers there is the North Foreland golf course in Broadstairs and Royal St Georges golf course in Sandwich. Historic Canterbury is only a 30 minute drive or train ride away, with its spectacular cathedral, city walls, restaurants, shops and parks. Or step back in time at one of our nearby castles - Dover, Deal, Walmer, Leeds and Rochester Castles are all easily reached by car or rail in under an hour. Guest access Guests have full and exclusive use of the apartment which is on the second floor of a period property, as well as a cupboard on the ground floor where beach paraphernalia can be left to save taking it up and down the stairs. Other things to note Due to our central location there isn't parking at the property, however there are two car parks one minute away and free on street parking a 5 minute walk away. Once you have unloaded and parked you won’t need your car again though! As we are in the heart of Broadstairs and seconds to the beach some noise should be expected at night, especially weekend nights, we therefore provide complimentary earplugs for the benefit of our guests should they require them, however it is not usually an issue in the back two bedrooms as they are double glazed. Guests will receive access to our exclusive digital guide which includes everything you should need to know about the apartment, restaurant recommendations, activities, and local area information. We are also always available to help with any other advice or questions.
