Latest Margate hotel reviews
garygoz9t Says: the turner art centre was built,using lottery funds. it is not befitting of the area,as no one that lives here,is into art. it is supposed to attract people from out of town,which it will. but once they have seen it,and the lack of facilities surrounding it,they wont come...
bumpychick Says: This statue can be found looking out to sea, just opposite Margate station. It was erected in 1899 and is made of bronze. It commemorates the sinking of the vessel 'Friends to All Nations' in 1897.
bumpychick Says: The Turner centre is due for completion in 2011. It is located in the harbour area, and is currently a bit of a blot on the landscape. Hopefully it will look much better when they take the scaffolding down. In the meantime, there is a small exhibition in Droit House,...
bumpychick Says: The main Theatre in Margate is the Winter Gardens. Built in 1909, the theatre is set in to the cliff and surrounded by attractive gardens. There is always something happening at the Winter Gardens; Variety shows, concerts, musicals and even line dancing classes. Margate...
bumpychick Says: TY8 is an 'Oriental fusion' restaurant that has excellent food, excellent service and is great value for money. For around £15 a head you can each as much as you like, choosing from an extensive range of dishes including unlimited crispy duck if you like it! Alternatively...

Pizzeria Trattoria Rosaria: New menu is worth a try
karpoo Says: Rosaria's has the best setting possible, overlooking the Margate sands. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed and the food is excellent. The dishes are always freshly cooked and top quality ingredients are used. The menu is extensive, and they have now introduced an all you...
The Lighthouse Bar: Lighthouse Bar
bumpychick Says: The lighthouse Bar is a relatively new place located on the far end of the harbour wall next to the lighthouse (hence the name). You can sit inside or outside. Both options give you fabulous views of Margate. Inside the bar they have a wood burning stove and leather sofas,...

planxty Says: One thing that used to slightly put me off going to Thanet from London was the amount of time it took to get there. After a half hour Tube journey to Victoria, it would have taken about two hours to get to Margate. However, there is now another option, the opening of the new...
planxty Says: OK, so I "borrowed" the title for the tip from the company's own advertising but it really is appropriate for the shuttle bus service that operates around Thanet. It operates between Margate, Ramsgate Westwood Cross shopping centre and Broadstairs and with a weekday requency...
bumpychick Says: From Victoria Coach Station, take a National Express coach to Margate. The route goes via Margate to Ramsgate. This travel option isn't as quick as the train, but much cheaper; £13 for a day return, about £20 for a period return. (This may have gone up slightly, but I doubt...
bumpychick Says: The main High Street in Margate has undergone a few changes recently, due to the fact that a large shopping centre (Westwood Cross) has been built out of town. Some of the bigger retailers have closed their Margate branches, but there are still quite a few shops to browse...
ginte Says: Margate and Ramsgate are at the same East coast of England and pretty close to each other - just about 30 minutes of driving by car. We went to Ramsgate one day, but we liked Margate beach more as we were there before, so we turned our car and went back to Margate. So, it's...
GrantBoone Says: Not so much a ' local ' custom .More of a tradition for my friends and I . The head shop is , as you might guess , a place to buy hats. Well , silly hats mainly ! I know , sad isnt it. And thats before the beer !!
bumpychick Says: The towns of Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate are very popular with language students, and there are lots of schools catering for those of you who want to learn English. Please be warned that some of our local yobs (every where has them!) take exception to groups of...
bumpychick Says: "In 1835 Mr James Newlove lowered his young son Joshua into a hole in the ground that had appeared during the digging of a duck pond. Joshua emerged describing tunnels covered with shells. He had discovered the Shell Grotto; 70ft of winding underground passages leading to an...
ginte Says: If you're going to drive to Margate by car, keep in mind that traffic starts on Sunday afternoons at about 5 p.m. somewhere in the middle between Margate and London. Sometimes you can be stuck there for an hour or even longer. I'm not sure this is only on Sundays, but I...
ginte Says: Besides nice shelfs and stones you can find also these 'treasures' at the beach :) Not live.
bumpychick Says: My favourite thing to do is sit outside when of the seafront pubs on a summer's evening and watch the sunset. Margate sunsets can be as beautiful as any I've seen in the world As a student I studied in London. I used to travel home by train on the occasional weekend, and...

In many ways, Margate stands for just about every other seaside "resort" town in the UK and has now become an anachronism which is sad but, I suppose, ultimately inevitable. Margate lies on the...
