I loved my stay at Westbrook Lodge. It was so clean and the hosts Tracy and Colin were so welcoming and helpful. They have done a beautiful job with all the unique rooms. The location was less than five minutes walk to the sea and close to public transportation. I'd definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!!

It was a last minute booking, late check in and I had 3 problems with the whole experience. Staff were f riendly, helpful and informative and the room was comfortable and had a great bed. I even got an upgrade because the room was available which was a lovely touch.

    Tracy and Colin were great hosts! Super friendly and helpful. Initially we were a little reserved on a shared bathroom booking but it was absolutely fine, we were never waiting and it was always clean. Given the size of the property we were also surprised how quiet it was

    The flat was a lovely size, bigger than what we needed, in a quiet street and better than the hotels on the sea front where you have the seagulls cawing all night and doors banging. Great views from the windows. Great host. Many thanks.

    Great location! The Beetroot is a gem in every way from its funky courtyard which is a haven of calm to the care and creative flair that has been put into every room. We booked out 3 of the 4 rooms and loved all of them. Paul has done a fantastic job creating this boutique style hotel which encapsulates Margate's artistic and quirky side. He was also an extremely friendly and helpful host.

The room is very comfortable and has everything you would want. Breakfast is decent. Location is central for Broadstairs and Margate. Nice quiet street and lovely clean house - feels like a home from home

    Very friendly and welcoming guest house. Location was very very good. Although out of season I can see that it is a great location for a quiet beach, and also close to the busy beaches of Margate. Tracey and Colin are perfect hosts. Will definitely stay again.
