Hamilton Lodge is in a place called Westgate on Sea. It's next to Margate in Kent. It's a big Victorian house that sleeps fifteen. We've got six bedrooms and three bathrooms.
It was built in 1875 and it's got a turret. The ceilings are high, which you notice as soon as you walk in. We kept a lot of the original features, like the coloured glass in the front door. The rooms are all done up a bit differently inside.
There are a few different spaces. A big sitting room for everyone to watch films in, a library if you want some quiet, and a large open-plan kitchen and living area at the back. That opens out onto the garden with sliding doors.
Some of the bedrooms on the upper floors have a view of the sea. It's only a few minutes' walk away. The bathrooms have underfloor heating.
The house is on three floors. The stairs are normal house stairs. There's parking on site.
Westgate itself is quiet. It's got a wide sandy beach, a few shops and cafes, and a proper old cinema. There's a pub nearby too.
You can walk along the coast to Margate. It takes about twenty minutes. Or it's a five minute drive or a quick train ride. The Viking Trail coastal path goes right through here if you like walking or cycling.
Facilities wise, it's got the things you'd need: WiFi, washing machine, dishwasher. Bedding and towels are included. You can bring up to two dogs. We can provide a cot and highchair.
For local information, the Visit Thanet website is useful. The National Trust has a few properties nearby, like Quex Park.
