Superb Guest house with Fantastic people 100%.
We arrived at this wonderful Guest house and was greeted by Serena and Peter who made us feel at home straight away. We were shortly introduced to the rest of the Italian family who are all such kind and beautiful people. The entire place is spotless clean and Serena,s cooking is Amazing.We could have a full English breakfast everyday if we wanted and that was included in the price.In our room we had Tea & Coffee making facilities and a Kettle. We loved the people and the Guest house so much we are planning to visit them later this year. Please don,t just visit for a day!, spoil yourselves and go for a week or two, trust me you will not be dissapointed. All rooms are cleaned daily and we cannot praise these wonderful people and Guest house enough. 10/10 .

Welcoming and comforting stay
Stayed at this B&B for 4 weeks for a university placement. People running the B&B are friendly, comforting and have great hospitality. They are understanding if you have any additional needs. The room I stayed in looked nice, was clean and was well kept. There is great space in a single room, a comfortable bed and the TV is a bonus. Although its shared bathrooms, they are fine to use and are also well kept. The food service is brilliant and quick. Enjoyed may stay here and would recommend this B&B if you are coming to stay in Margate ( its also literally a minute away from the sea front!).

Great place to stay in Margate
We had a great stay at the Westbrook Lodge Guest House. The room was comfortable, and everything was very clean, including the bathrooms. The full English breakfast was good, and best of all our hosts were incredibly friendly and accommodating - they made our stay even more enjoyable. This is a great affordable place from which to explore Margate and the surrounding area. Highly recommended!

Good location, lovely staff, in need of some TLC
We had a lovely stay at Westbrook Lodge Guest House. The staff are so friendly and helpful and are a big reason for the popularity of the guest house. The guest house could do with some upgrading and improvement, which we were told will be commencing soon. I think this is a great guest house in a superb location. The breakfast was great, big portions and very filling. Overall a very nice stay.

Great for families
Conveniently located for the beach which allows dogs - at the quieter end of town but doesn't take long to walk along the front to the shops and the Turner Gallery. Lovely new owners. Could do with slightly softer matresses.

Great location lovely people
Guest house is in a great location, beach close. Tennis courts very close. Margate a few minutes walk away. It is quite basic, but my room was spotless and my complimentary creme egg was a gesture no other hotel has made before. Breakfast was hot, generous and freshly cooked. The owners are very kind, lovely people who are willing to help. It is quite basic with shared facilities and the decor in need of updating, but I really enjoyed my stay and preferred it to a faceless chain hotel.

We stayed here as we were attending a wedding close by. The staff were very friendly and assisted us with ordering a taxi and allowed us to book in earlier to change. A great place, lovely breakfast and very very good value. We will stay again.

close to the beach
The hotel owners are very very nice people but they have no idea how much potential they have in the B and B that they run. The hotel is very tired looking and needs total redecoration. If they did that and replaced the bed linen to all white cotton and had similar table cloths, if they replaced the bar with a modern one and wore smart clothes .... They'd be sitting on a gold mine !

Not too far from town or the sea
This was my first visit to Margate, and I found this hotel to be most adequate for my needs. For the price I paid it wasn't too bad at all, but I didn't like it had shared bathrooms, which I don't recall being in the description. Nevertheless it was a quiet evening so not many guests, therefore not a major issue but still not great. The one bathroom had a door which wouldn't properly close or lock so used the one that's so pink it's an assault on the eyes. Mind you, the facilities worked well at least. The guy running it was very friendly though, and the bed was fairly comfortable. The whole place was very clean and tidy, and the sea is a stone's throw from the front door. The railway station is around 13 minutes walk away (well, it took me that long, with big bags or slower walking paces allow 20 minutes), and if this is also your first visit to Margate don't expect a pretty looking place. All of it I saw looked rundown and unwelcoming. However the accommodation was absolutely fine in this case. The WiFi was also pretty decent, better than WiFi I've used in various places around Europe and the UK!

A broken sign outside tells you everything
The guest house situates in a quiet residential area in Margate. Very close to the beach for a stroll, but it takes about 25 minutes to walk to town. The deco and facilities are old and tired. The double room was very small and crowded with chairs. Breakfast was a bit oily. Staff were friendly but in a creepy way. As there was very few hotels available in Margate, I would recommend this place to those who need it - but you have been warned.

Nice Neighborhood Stay
Nice to stay at a place with personality. Very hospitable staff, and lovely to be in a residential neighborhood just steps from a sand beach. Downtown was a nice 15-minute stroll down the beach, looking at seashells along the way. The inn is old and a little worn around the edges, but that's just part of the charm. A filling full English breakfast was a nice way to end the stay. Definitely worth the price.

Clean and Comfortable
This guest house provides good value for the price. My room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. The WiFi worked well; I couldn't get the TV to work, but I wasn't too concerned about this. I initially had difficulty in locating the guest house; local streets have similar names. Still, it is well situated with a reasonable walking distance from the train station. It is close to the beach and the walkway leading to town. There is a bus stop near the guest house, but I didn't use the bus.
