About this property
One road back from sandy beach and the Viking trail. Ideal for families, hiking and cyclists. Settled on the coast on the outskirts of the popular seaside town of Margate in Kent is 1 Springfield Road. This idyllic, single-storey holiday home benefits from a fantastic location, paces away from the seafront, traditional seaside attractions and the town’s local amenities, an enclosed garden perfect for your canine companion and three well-appointed bedrooms welcoming up to five guests. Make your way into your new home-from-home where you can unwind in front of the gentle warmth of the electric flame-effect fire and Smart TV with Netflix, while your partner, or designated chef of the group rustles up a hearty meal in the fully-equipped kitchen. Dine together in the conservatory before heading outside to the rear garden where you can savour evening drinks upon the decking, you may even catch a glimpse of the sea between the trees! When stars fill the sky, head inside to wash off the day in the bathroom or shower room before catching your rest in the king-size, twin or single bedroom. 1 Springfield Road lies conveniently near local stores where you can pick up essentials to help ease your self-catered stay as well as pubs including the 19th Hole and the Rose in June where you can enjoy a break from the kitchen with delicious pub food. On sunny days, take advantage of the town’s beaches; stop off at Palm Bay Beach where you can admire the breath-taking views in a tranquil environment while you beloved dog roams freely upon the golden sands, or head to the popular, main Margate Beach where you can soak up the sun on its expansive golden shores while the kids paddle in the sea or tidal swimming pool. The seafront here is lined with attractions like Lost Island Adventure Golf, Dreamland housing fairground rides both old and new and the quirky, hidden gem of Margate Caves and Shell Grotto. Keen ramblers and cyclists will be in their element as the 25-mile-long Viking Coastal Trail runs through the town stopping in charming places like Ramsgate, Broadstairs and Cliffs End, each with countless other attractions. Explore the breath-taking coast of Kent at 1 Springfield Road.
Margate, a popular tourist destination on the eastern coast of Kent, has undergone extensive revitalisation and is now home to the brand-new Turner Contemporary art museum. From fishing and golf to beaches and amusements, this historic seaside town has something to offer everyone. The town's Theatre Royal has been entertaining audiences since 1787. Throughout the year, the Winter Gardens plays host to a wide range of shows, concerts, and musicals featuring some of the world's best performers. Browse artists' studios, unwind in one of the many bars or restaurants, or rent a bike as you stroll along the Margate Harbour Arm and Old Town. There is a four-mile walk, called the Turner and Dickens Trail, that takes the adventurous to Broadstairs. The Hornby Visitor Centre resurrects the glory days of Britain's most beloved toys, while the Shell Grotto's 2000 square feet of winding underground passages will delight any curious tourist. There are many classic seaside rides and a vintage fairground at Dreamland, making it a great destination for families and those looking for a taste of yesteryear's amusements. Margate is a charming seaside resort that manages to be both historic and contemporary, with something to offer visitors of all ages and interests.

Forgot to say that house was freezing cold and took 12 hours after arrival to heat up. Also, no instructions were available for working TV and kitchen gadgets and machines. Advertised as TV Freeview and Netflix, we could only use the former as we had a account. No terrestrial TV. Fine, but it should have been stated.

Great location and very near to shops, restaurants and activities within Margate and the surrounding areas. The accommodation was lovely and clean and had everything you need for your stay; plenty of cleaning products, cutlery, plates, cups, glasses etc. and even had shampoo and other items if you had forgotten to bring them with you! The layout of the property is ideal for families and the bedrooms are very nice and spacious with good beds. The location is fantastic if you are a dog owner as the seafront not only has a lovely beach (great for kids and collecting shells/looking for sea life) but also has a very large grassed open space that stretches' for several miles literally 50m from the property. For those wet days (lets face it, its the UK and they happen!) the TV has amazon prime and free view so there is aways something to watch. There is plenty of seating in the lounge and the conservatory has a dining table that sits 4; there are also some very nice little food trays that you can have on your lap to eat from; which is great to do whilst watching the TV in the evening! We really enjoyed our stay here and if we were to return to Margate we would definitely stay at this property again. A+++
