Historic Trinity Square, Margate (The Westbrook)

The Westbrook overlooks historic Trinity Square, is centrally located and just a couple of minutes' walking distance to Margate's vibrant Old Town with its lively restaurants and bars, Winter Gardens, Turner gallery and Margate's sandy beaches. Margate station is within walking distance and other great beaches such as Botany Bay and Westbrook Bay are nearby. The Westbrook is the top (4th) floor of an 18th century building so there's a few flights of steps up and low ceilings when you get there.
