Ivy Cottage

Ivy Cottage is a two-bedroom terraced house in Garlinge, just beyond the main road from Margate town. The beach sits 400 yards away—close enough for a quick walk, far enough to feel removed from the seafront bustle. The cottage sleeps five: a double bedroom and a twin with a child's z-bed, plus a shower room. There is private parking for two cars and a lawned garden with seating outside.

Inside, you get a living room with an open fire and television, a separate dining room, and a kitchen equipped for cooking and washing. Bed linen and towels are provided, along with electricity; heating is by gas. The cottage suits families or small groups wanting a base near the coast without the noise of a beachfront location. A pub is within walking distance, and the Viking Coastal Trail runs along the clifftops nearby for cycling or longer walks. The area has a history of good sunshine.
