Margate

Booking Form - No.42 Margate

NO. 42 MARGATE, BY GUESTHOUSE

Margate is the British seaside town that has held its own since it became the place to be in 1730. And we’re sitting on the front in the characterful Old Town, bathing in all the glory of the light dancing on the water.

The old seaside hotel we’ve made our own is one of those Victorian beauties that sits elegantly poised above the main swathe of golden sands, giving its guests dreamy views across the bay. Bedrooms are sometimes balconied and always rich with heritage detailing. There are three places devoted to food and drink - all with their own thing going on and one with bird's eye views, but all holding local ingredients and skills on high. The treatment rooms are there for you and your wellbeing. And, as ever, service is with a very big smile.

We're thrilled to be the proud owners of a Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice awards, which recognises the businesses that rank in the top 10% on Tripadvisor.

Autumn at ours

Soak up the best of Autumn in Margate, our favourite seaside town

Here's your inside look at the stories, people, and places that make our hotels so special. Discover our team's favourite haunts and see our carefully curated list of happenings and events coming up in the next few months.

Bedrooms

There are 21 Guest Rooms and Lookout Suites within the walls of our Victorian dream of a seaside hotel. Original features have been preserved and paired with all the modern stuff you need. Some have balconies for extra greatness. Some have showers for two and four-poster beds. They are all marvellous.

Food & Drink

Pearly Cow Margate is is our grill restaurant perched above Margate’s golden sands, devoted to sea-fresh seafood, flame-grilled meats, and just-picked garden greens. With wild local flavour, show-stopping fruits de mer and life-changing beef fat chips, it’s where dreamy sunsets, barefoot afternoons, and post-beach joy collide.

Wellness

The Treatment Rooms are very-mellow spaces where highly skilled therapists target their expertise on making you feel brand new. Situated on the lower-ground floor of our seaside hotel, you'll find relaxation in abundance. Why not try our Copper Cove experience for the ultimate soothing experience.

Weddings

Say I do, overlooking the big blue! Weddings at No. 42 Margate can make your seaside wedding dreams come true. Take over Pearly Cow for the day, or go all-out with a whole-house takeover.

Away Days

We've all heard of blue-sky thinking, and sometimes getting the team out of the office into the fresh sea air is just the ticket. Take things up a notch with a meeting in Margate at No. 42.

Bringing the kids

As any parent knows, happy children are the not-so-secret secret to every great family trip. So, we have a few things up our sleeves to help keep them entertained while they stay with us - and what child doesn't love a seaside hotel!

Bringing the dogs

Other than between 1st May and 30th September, when it's a big, fat no-no, dogs love being on Margate beach (understatement). If you bring yours, we have a few things to make them feel at home.

Play those records

Every room has a Crosley record player and a few choice records. There's also access to a curated vinyl library so you can soundtrack your stay.

Raid Our Pantry

The contents of our pantry in a handsome vintage ticket booth are all yours to enjoy any time of day or night, and it's all on us. It's stocked daily with sweet and savoury snacks like pots of locally supplied ice cream, homemade baked goodies, soft drinks, and fresh fruit.

Station luggage pick up

Margate is served by Southeastern and you can quickly book your ticket here. The station is only about a 10 minute sea front walk away, but that’s 10 mins you could be bag-free, so let us meet you off your train and take your bags back to the hotel.

We’ll swap your luggage for an umbrella (if it’s one of those days). Get in touch to request your luggage pick up, and we’ll see you at the station.
