Westbrook Lodge Guest House enjoys a superb location, just a two-minute walk from the beach and a pleasant 15-20 minute stroll along the promenade to Margate's main attractions. Guests consistently praise the tasty full English breakfast and the availability of complimentary beach equipment like buckets and spades. Themed rooms, such as the giraffe bedroom and Harry Potter decorations, add a fun touch, although some guests have mentioned experiencing inconsistent shower temperatures.

a decent stay close to the beach

friendly host breakfast choice limited channels inconsistent temperature
The hosts were cute and friendly. they offered many choices for breakfast at reasonable prices. the location is great. I could walk straight to the beach. the outside area had novel features, especially for children.
my room was spacious, but it faced away from the sea. the shower temperature was inconsistent (sometimes hot, sometimes cold). the television had limited channels.
