“The Bay feels less like a hotel and more like a cherished Margate boarding house, thanks to the genuine warmth of hosts Hannah and Steve who clearly put heart into this listed building. I found the complimentary breakfast rolls delivered to the room a thoughtful touch, perfectly complementing the sea views from the front rooms which certainly add to the property's charm. It's a place that embraces its character, offering a true taste of the seaside experience.”
