Beautiful views.Rooms need revamp.
Unfortunately they were unaware of our stay & unprepared.The owner was away.However her friend/assistant (?) Loraine was very helpful and did her best to sort out the issues and settle us in.She was warm and kind and advised best place to for dinner and a swim.Frankly the photos on-line seemed misleading and we were disappointed with the rooms.Need a serious revamp/renovation.Not good value for money at all.Lorraine and lady serving nice breakfast were very pleasant by contrast.

So sorry your welcome was not as good as it should have been. Lorraine is a relatively new locum and is still not 100% sure of the bookings that she sees on the cell phone. As a result she actually gave you an upgrade. You booked and paid for one person in Room 6 and 2 in room 2 and you ended up with 2 people in 6 (more expensive room) and one in room 1 (more expensive room). The photos on the website are genuine. I am sorry you found them misleading. Room 1 by the way was upgraded about 6 months ago. So sorry you were disappointed. Regards Sharon

Excellent guest house
This is an excellent guest house just outside Margate town center. I stayed in Room 6, the penthouse and it was lovely, fantastic sea views and you can have your breakfast on the enclosed patio. This was wonderful! Safe and secure car parking and the honesty bar is nice

Reasonable accommodation, but could be better
Amazing view and easy walking access to a pristine beach. The owners dogs can be a nuisance at times. Breakfast is very limited, and does not have much to offer in terms of being Halaal friendly. Accommodation is reasonably maintained but could be better.

Excellent Bed and Breakfast in Margate
No question this is an excellent place to stay in Margate. Terrific views of the ocean, friendly and courteous staff and Sharon, the owner, is simply the best - so helpful and attends to your every need! The rooms were clean, spacious and well appointed and the breakfasts were excellent. Without a doubt, A+++ accommodation!

Splendide vue sur l’océan
Magnifique guest house avec super extérieur. Cet établissement était un point d’arrêt pour notre Road Trip. Malheureusement il pleuvait et n’avons pas pu profiter de la piscine et de la plage à quelques mètres en empruntant les escaliers. Magnifique vue, à recommander. Le wifi ne fonctionne pas très bien dans mes chambres.

Wir hatten etwas Mühe das Gasthaus zu finden, aber einmal angekommen wurden wir herzlich empfangen. Das Zimmer war zweckmässig eingerichtet und das Frühstück wurde liebevoll zubereitet. Insgesamt haben wir einen angenehmen Aufenthalt in Beachcomber Bay verbracht.

Väldigt bra boende
Vi bodde fem nätter i rum 6 som är ett stort fint rum med en stor egen terass med utsikt mot havet. Allt fungerade väldigt bra. Vi fick tips på utflykter, det var sköna sängar, stor och bra frukost och bra städning.

The mould in the ceiling of the bathroom and the fact that the cleaning lady had dropped our camera in the floor without telling us made me give this place a 3 instead of a 4. The location is nice and the beach is wonderful.

Tolle Penthouse Wohnung
Schönes Guesthouse mit sehr gutem Frühstück. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber! Wir hatten das Penthouse und somit eine grosse Dachterrasse mit Wintergarten nur für uns! Die Anlage ist wunderschön und sehr gepflegt. Das Haus ist schon etwas älter und die Zimmer etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Aber nichts desto trotz mit viel Geschmack und Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet! Sehr empfehlenswert!

Beachcomber Bay...perfekt för golf
Jag kan varmt rekommendera boende på Beachcomber Bay som utgångspunkt om ni vill spela golf, många läckra golfbanor inom 30 min. Servicen och värdarna Sheron&Trevor är fantastiskt hjälpsamma och trevliga.
