Aptly named The Retreat by the owners, this spacious family friendly 4 bed detached holiday home with garden provides a tranquil place to relax and unwind. Located in the prestigious tree lined Palm Bay Avenues (a suburb of Margate), there is so much to see and do on your doorstep and beyond.
There is a highchair and cot available.
We do not accommodate parties (including stag and hen parties).
The Retreat is an excellent base for exploring everything Thanet has to offer. There are several family friendly sandy beaches and bays close by; Palm Bay and Botany Bay are the nearest and preferred by the locals over the Main Sands. Walpole Bay has the UK’s largest tidal pool, so definitely worth a visit. If you enjoy walking or cycling, then join the Viking Coastal Trail which stretches 32 miles around the Thanet coastline. Also, within walking distance are Tennis courts, Jet Ski World and Café and the award winning Cliftonville Farmers Market with 30+ stalls selling Kent produce (last Sunday of the month 10am-1pm). Northdown Road offers an array shops, cafes, restaurants. If you are a foodie, then a visit to The International Food Market is a must.
The popular seaside town of Margate with its main sands, arcades, Old Town, Dreamland and the Turner Contemporary is approx. 2 miles away, 5 minutes by car and 30 minutes by foot along the promenade.
Historic Broadstairs famous for its connections with Charles Dickens, Folk Week and the beautiful Viking Bay is approx. 3 miles away, 8 minutes by car and 45 minutes by foot.
Ramsgate and its Royal Harbour surrounded by eateries and bars and golden sands is approx. 6 miles away and 15 minutes by car and 1.5 hr by foot.
Buses (Thanet Loop) run regularly and there are several local taxi companies operating in Thanet. Margate Train Station is the nearest station to The Retreat and is just over 2 miles away.
