There's so much to do in the vibrant and exciting town Of Margate. Harbour House is located in the Old Town and couldn't be better positioned with renowned antique and vintage clothes and furniture shops closeby. If you wander into the main town and you will find a selection of independent boutiques, art shops and a great choice of eateries and pubs.
A trip to the award winning Turner Contemporary art gallery is a must. The entrance is free and will positional you well to take in the fresh sea air and stroll down the Harbour Arm, stopping at a quirky cafe for tea and cake. Or enjoy a trip to Dreamland, a fun filled day for all the family.

Product : We were a bit nervous that the photos we saw of the property would not measure up - a needless worry! We had a fantastic Christmas break in Harbour House. The fixtures and fittings were of a high standard and quality, and totally catered for our needs. We loved having a log fire in the evening, and a space to chill in. We were a group of four adults and five children and this spacious property gave us ample room. The games room was a big hit, and enjoyed by all. I managed to cook a Christmas dinner in the aga style oven, and there was plenty of room for us to all eat together.
The location was great for us, close to shops, local pubs and the beach - and we have to admit to falling in love with Margate. Parking may be an issue, particularly in height of season, but we managed to get two spaces in front of harbour house for our stay.
There are lots of stairs in Harbour house, which are great for exercising lively young children, but care would be needed for little ones. With this in mind, maybe the owners could consider providing a baby gate, so that little ones could be contained within lounge, for example, without the need to keep the door shut?
Overall, we all had an amazing time and would love to go back in the future.

"Fabulous Christmas decorations, panto (oh no it wasn't, oh yes it was), seaside walks, boutique shops and Italian restaurant, Olivio. 2 families all 9 beds filled and plenty of space for chilling, playing, reading and watching. Fantastic central location. Thanks to Dave from Just Jane for sorting perfect parking for 2 cars. Lovely not to need to move them all weekend with everything on our doorstep. Finally we started with wonderful fish and chips from Pete's fish factory on the sea front. Cheers."
